Body

Description

This function returns the difference between the high and the low.

Formula

Body(instrument,targetBar)=begin

  pHigh = GetPrice(instrument, BATE_HIGH, targetBar, 0)

  pLow = GetPrice(instrument, BATE_LOW, targetBar, 0)

  retval = NONUM

  if pHigh != NONUM and pLow != NONUM then begin

    retval = pHigh - pLow

  end

  retval

end

Parameters

instrument

An instrument.

targetBar

The index of the bar you want to evaluate. 0 is the current bar, 1 is the first bar back, etc.

Return Value

The difference between the high and low.

Examples

LowerShadow(instrument,targetBar)=begin

  bLen = Body(instrument, targetBar)

  rbLen = RealBodyLen(instrument, targetBar)

  nShdw = LowerShadowLen(instrument, targetBar)

  retval = nShdw

  if bLen != abs(rbLen) AND nShdw != 0 then begin

    retval = (nShdw / bLen) * 100

  end

  retval

end
