Difference between current day high and low as watchlist column

[J-Fearless]

Hi All,

I'm not great at scripting. I do okay but this alludes me for some reason, and I can't find a study that achieves this.

I'm looking for a script that will calculate the difference between the high of a period and the low of period, so I could add it as a watchlist column, and see at a glance without having to examine each chart.

So essentially if ABC stock has had a high of 50, and a low of 40, then the value would be the difference of 10.

Anyone know of a study like this or would be able to assist me in scripting one?

Thanks

What's the duration of the period? Previous day's high and low?

Here is an example for your watchlist column:

def prev_high = high[1];
def prev_low = low[1];

plot value = prev_high - prev_low;

Set the timeframe of the column to D (daily).

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the response. Specifically the current day‘s high and low would be really useful.

Thanks

def today_high = high;
def today_low = low;

plot value = today_high - today_low;

or simpler

plot scan = high-low;

Hi. I'm looking for an indicator that shows me the high and the low of the price of the day on the watchlist. In the graph you can see the bubble with the price, I would like to have in the following list the notice of those ups and downs in the price. I will be very grateful if you can help me.

1)what list? and what do you mean by notice?

2) define ups and downs? ups and downs from what? close to open? open to high? low to high? high to low open to low? you will have to explain more?
