Filip,

have you looked at the Tecnical Indicators that are available? Documentation>Technical indicators > possibly iATR?



Or, you could write a short code that calcs the the difference between High[i] and Low[i] going back "i" periods using a "for loop".

See Documentation > Predefined variables > and check "High" and "Low" for instructions on how to implement these functions


or, if you want to know the difference between the "close" of each period use "Close[i]] in a for loop.


Cheers
