Please help with a bit of coding & feel free to use what I have done already...

 

I have this indicator that in any timeframe draws two lines, one showing the highest price and one showing the lowest price of the day, useful for you daily trend traders...

The original is freeware that i downloaded but modified for my purpose.

The indicator also displays the value of these lines on the top left of the chart.

Does anyone know how to code it so it also shows the difference in the lines? basically the high minus the low of the day?

Please use the SRC button for code or attach it to the post! You have already been asked to this in the past.

 

simply replace

Comment(R1,"\n",R2);

with

Comment(R1,"\n",R2," Difference is:",(R1-R2)/Point);

and it will show pip difference between R1 and R2, you may use other variables too like S1

Hi

Excellent thank you. Works perfect.

Thanks
