average value of a variable , all prints SINCE 9:30AM

[tatl]

for a variable x, how can you tally all its printed values since 9:30am, for example? add them all up and them divide by the amount of bars to get an average?

or really better would be "all prints since the start of the current chart timespan"

similar question: how to get the "highest print of x during the current chart time span"

or "the first print of x during the current chart time span"

or "the 16th print of x since the start of the chart time span"

Here is one way to provide the data you requested.

AddLabel(1, "Sum Chart Close: " + AsDollars(TotalSum(close)));
AddLabel(1, "Total Bars: " + TotalSum(!IsNaN(close)));
AddLabel(1, "Avg Chart Closes: " + AsDollars(TotalSum(close) / TotalSum(!IsNaN(close))));
AddLabel(1, "First Chart Close: " + AsDollars(First(close)));
AddLabel(1, "Highest Chart High: " + AsDollars(HighestAll(high)));

plot bn = BarNumber();
bn.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.VALUES_BELOW);
def close16 = if bn==16 then close else close16[1];
addlabel(1, "16th Close on chart: " + asdollars(close16));

thanks very much. I dont understand what labels are yet. Looking for these data as variables. "def" style if possible !

and not sure if this matters, but i'm not looking for price, rather the historical output of any made up variable that you defined.

The addlabel is one way to display the historical output of a variable. The last example of def close16 and the addlabel displayed the value. Notice how the close16 was used there. The plot bn = barnumber(); was used so that you could see where barnumber 16 was located and the value of the close there.

Def statements could have been used similarly in all of the other addlabels (eg: def hh = highestall(high); The addlabel(1, hh); ). These variables can be displayed in plot statements or addchartbubbles or reused in other def statements, among some of the methods.
