coding problem - i hate code
Hi guys,
Hoping someone can help me with this.
i am looking for some code but have been unable to find it anywhere. i want to take the last 5 days of price action and get the difference between the
open and close as a real number.
so if the open is 2.00 and the close is 1.97 the difference is 3.
Look forward to your assistance.

I cannot provide any code but ,suggest using the REF function and probably the Absolute function. Possibly:
Value = ABS(Ref(O, 5)- C)
The ansolute value of the Open 5 days ago - the close of today.

Do you want to get the difference of the open of 4 days ago and the close of the current bar?
The open of 4 days ago is
ref(O,-4)
The close of the current bar is C
The directed difference is
C-ref(O,-4)
otherwise
ABS(C-ref(O,-4))
4 bars >ago< plus the current bar gives a total of 5 bars.
In your example 2.00-1.97 is .03
