    Fractions have a top number, which is called the numerator, and a bottom number, which is known as the denominator. This combination of numbers represents how a part relates to a whole. If you have a negative number or variable in the denominator of a fraction, the fraction is not in simplest form, according to traditional mathematics. To state the fraction properly, you must take measures to convert the negative value in the denominator to a positive one.

    example if the code return negative ratio how do turn it into a positive
    a=open
    b=close
    Distance = (a-b)
    
    RETURN Distance

    a=open
    b=close
    c  = (ab)
     
    Distance = c * -1

    Or im guesssing this might work if you do get either a positive or negative C outcome  . 

    IF (C < 0) THEN
                     Distance = C * -1
               ELSE
                     Distance = C 
               ENDIF
    NEXT
    
    RETURN Distance
