  Hi

  I wonder how I can code so that I get the difference for the closing price for the 5 last candels in a 5 min chart. Anyone that can help me?

  Ex:

  5 close (1645,3; 1644,4; 1644,1; 1643,8; 1644,6) and I want too have a number for the highest and lowest for the last 5 candles. In this exemple 1645,3-1643,8=1,5

  How can I code it so I get the number 1,5 as output?

  average[5](close)

  1	average[5](close)

  returns the average for the last five candle closing prices – or do you mean that you want the average of the last five 5 minute candles on a different time frame chart?

  a = highest[5](close) b = lowest[5](close) c = (a + b) / 2

  1 2 3 4

  a = highest[5](close) b = lowest[5](close)   c = (a + b) / 2

  The difference is:

  a = highest[5](close) b = lowest[5](close) difference = a - b

  1 2 3

  a = highest[5](close) b = lowest[5](close) difference = a - b

  Roberto’s answer is correct if you want the difference. I may have been confused in my reply as I read your first post and title before you edited them and they originally asked for an average.
