Difference between Bars.HighPrices and Bars.LowPrices calculation for each index
Definition
public interface HighMinusLow
Namespace: cAlgo.API.Indicators · Group: Indicators · Implements: StandardIndicator
Remarks
This volatility indicator works by calculating the difference between the high and the low of each trendbar. The larger the difference between high and low, the more volatile the market during that period.
Examples
Example 1
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
namespace cAlgo.Indicators
{
public partial class Example : Indicator
{
private HighMinusLow _highMinusLow;
protected override void Initialize()
{
_highMinusLow = Indicators.HighMinusLow();
}
public override void Calculate(int index)
{
// same as Bars.HighPrices[index] - Bars.LowPrices[index];
Print("High minus Low result = {0}", _highMinusLow.Result[index]);
}
}
}
import clr
clr.AddReference("cAlgo.API")
from cAlgo.API import *
class Test():
def initialize(self):
self.highMinusLow = api.Indicators.HighMinusLow()
def calculate(self, index):
# same as api.Bars.HighPrices[index] - api.Bars.LowPrices[index]
api.Print(f"High minus Low result = {self.highMinusLow.Result[index]}")

"AccessRights": "None"
}
Example 2
