volatility for x bars back

[stevemend0za]

I'm looking for indicator to give me volatility for x bars back. Highest open/close (which ever is higher) to Lowest open/close (which ever is lower). I would also like to have two percentages displayed like the photo. One including the first bar and the second skipping it. Please any help is greatly appreciated.

See if this helps. Set lookback to how many bars you want Set test to yes to see the highest/lowest values used to gauge volatility.

input lookback = 4;
def hoc = Max(Highest(open, lookback), Highest(close, lookback));
def loc = Min(open, close);

def "vol_w/o" = AbsValue(hoc - loc[1]) / loc[1];
AddLabel(1, "Volatility w/o 1st bar " + AsPercent("vol_w/o") , if "vol_w/o" * 100 > 5 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

def "vol_w" = AbsValue(hoc - loc) / loc;
AddLabel(1, "Volatility with 1st bar " + AsPercent("vol_w") , if "vol_w" * 100 > 5 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

input test = no;
AddLabel(test, " Highest " + hoc + "Lowest " + loc + " Lowest skipping 1st " + loc[1]  , Color.WHITE);

OMG you almost have it. YOU ARE A GENIUS SR. My fault for not explaining correctly. In the photo you will see that while skipping the first bar we are still looking back 4 bars. (Just scooting over but still counting 4) Would it be too much to ask to modify it, I thank you in advanced.

Sure, this seems to work

input lookback = 4;
def hoc = Max(Highest(open, lookback), Highest(close, lookback));
def loc = Min(open, close);

def "vol_w/o" = AbsValue(hoc[1] - loc[1]) / loc[1];
AddLabel(1, "Volatility w/o 1st bar " + AsPercent("vol_w/o") , if "vol_w/o" * 100 > 5 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

def "vol_w" = AbsValue(hoc - loc) / loc;
AddLabel(1, "Volatility with 1st bar " + AsPercent("vol_w") , if "vol_w" * 100 > 5 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

input test = no;
AddLabel(test, " Highest w " + hoc + " Lowest w " + loc + " || Highest skipping " + hoc[1] + " Lowest skipping 1st " + loc[1]  , Color.WHITE);

Sir, Thank you so much! I cannot thank you enough. THANK YOU !!!
By the way I made just a small adjustment to your script and worked just as I needed. Thank you and is forum. I will be joining VIP as it is the only way I can think of to show my appreciation. Thank you all.

input lookback = 4;
def hoc = Max(Highest(open, lookback), Highest(close, lookback));
def loc = Min(Lowest (open, lookback), Lowest (close, lookback));

def "vol_w/o" = AbsValue(hoc[1] - loc[1]) / loc[1];
AddLabel(1, "Volatility Mon-10am Wed " + AsPercent("vol_w/o") , if "vol_w/o" * 100 > 5 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

def "vol_w" = AbsValue(hoc - loc) / loc;
AddLabel(1, "Volatility Wed 10am-Friday " + AsPercent("vol_w") , if "vol_w" * 100 > 5 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

input test = no;
AddLabel(test, " Highest w " + hoc + " Lowest w " + loc + " || Highest skipping " + hoc[1] + " Lowest skipping 1st " + loc[1] , Color.WHITE);

The following is a script that gives me the volatility based on highest and lowest close regardless of candle color. works perfect. I would like to have it work on my watchlist but instead of displaying the percentages I need it to be green if above 5 percent.

input lookback = 4;
def hoc = Max(Highest(open, lookback), Highest(close, lookback));
def loc = Min(Lowest (open, lookback), Lowest (close, lookback));

def "vol_w/o" = AbsValue(hoc[1] - loc[1]) / loc[1];
AddLabel(1, "Volatility 6:30-10am " + AsPercent("vol_w/o") , if "vol_w/o" * 100 > 5 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

def "vol_w" = AbsValue(hoc - loc) / loc;
AddLabel(1, "Volatility 10am-1pm " + AsPercent("vol_w") , if "vol_w" * 100 > 5 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

input test = no;
AddLabel(test, " Highest w " + hoc + " Lowest w " + loc + " || Highest skipping " + hoc[1] + " Lowest skipping 1st " + loc[1] , Color.WHITE);
