Average Range

[Alberto Tortella]

Hi all, I wrote this code to calculate the average range between high and low.

Could you tell me if it's ok or have you got a suggestion on how to improve it?

Thank you

Where Periodo is an external int.

int start()
  {
   int limit;
   int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
   
//---- last counted bar will be recounted
 
   if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
   limit=Bars-counted_bars;
   
//---- calcolo entry_long 
   for(int i=0; i<limit; i++)
      {
      Somma = 0 ;
      for(int j=i+1; j<=i+Periodo; j++)
      {
      Somma += (High[j]-Low[j]) ;
      } 
   // Histogram[i] = 10 ;
   Histogram[i] = Somma/Periodo ;    
      }  
    return(0);
//---- done

Moving Average function also suits for averages 

int start()
  {
   int limit;
   int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
   
//---- last counted bar will be recounted
   if(counted_bars<0) return(-1);
   if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
   limit=Bars-counted_bars;
   
//---- calcolo entry_long 
   for(int i=0; i<limit; i++) Histogram[i] = iMA(_Symbol,_Period,Periodo,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_HIGH,i)- iMA(_Symbol,_Period,Periodo,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_LOW,i);
   
    return(0);
  }
//---- done
