Difference between 2 bars study for position sizing, is it possible?

[Stojanovich1995]

To whom it may concern,

I am looking to create an indicator that will allow me to click on (or choose by entering the times of the bars) 2 bars and it will tell me the difference between the highest and lowest price within those bars.

For example, I am trading X stock with a $500/trade risk, I see 2 green bars up, 1 smaller red bar pullback, I want to enter a trade right above the last green bar and I want my stoploss to be at the bottom of the red pullback bar. The difference between the high of the green bar and the low of the red bar will determine how many shares I buy. Let's say the difference is $5, in this case I would buy 100 shares and that's easy, then my first profit target is $5 up (1R) and the final profit target is $10 up (2R). My problem arises when the difference is not that easy, say one bar is at 1013.35 and the other bar is 1006.87, now I have to bust out a calculator and waste time frantically punching in these numbers and then finding my proper position size and my targets. It would be so much nicer if I could just click two bars, it tells me the difference and I'm set to go.

I would appreciate any help or suggestions!

Unfortunately thinkscript doesn't support clicking on bars, so you will have to enter the start times of the bars and pick High or Low of those bars in the study customizing window for this code.

input Bar_One_Time = 0930;
input Bar_One_Mark = {default High, Low};
input Bar_Two_Time = 1000;
input Bar_Two_Mark = {default Low, High};

def Var1;
switch (Bar_One_Mark) {
case high:
    Var1 = high[1];
case low:
    Var1 = low[1];
}

def Var2;
switch (Bar_Two_Mark) {
case low:
    Var2 = low[1];
case high:
    Var2 = high[1];
}

def Var3 = If secondsFromTime(Bar_One_Time)==(GetAggregationPeriod()/1000) then Var1 else Var3[1];
def Var4 = If secondsFromTime(Bar_Two_Time)==(GetAggregationPeriod()/1000) then Var2 else Var4[1];
def Var5 = AbsValue(Var3 - Var4);

AddLabel(yes,"Bar 1 "+Bar_One_Mark+": "+Var3,color.WHITE);
AddLabel(yes,"Bar 2 "+Bar_Two_Mark+": "+Var4,color.WHITE);
AddLabel(yes,"Absolute Value of Difference Between Bar 1 "+Bar_One_Mark+" and Bar 2 "+Bar_Two_Mark+": "+Var5, Color.WHITE);
