  Hi I wonder if you could help me create  an indicator that I use for determine if a stock goes sideways.

  <span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">I would like to have an indicator that shows how many times the closing price has been touched in the last 30 bars before the current bar. For example, if the closing price has touched five bars out of the last 30 bars, the indicator should show 5. The result could be shown in a histogram. Thankful if you could help me</span>

  Hi again.  It seems like the indicator compares to days range with previous close for the last 30 days.  Can you change so that the close of the current bar compares with the hole range from high to low of the previous bars.  For example the to days close compares if it has touched any of the last 30 days bars (from high to low).

  Hi,

  This indicator compares whether the current Close falls between the High and the Low (Range) of the previous 30 candles…

   

  Close between previous range

  Touched=0 For i=1 to 30 If Close<High[i] and Close>Low[i] then Touched=Touched+1 EndIf Next Return Touched as "Touched" Coloured("Green")Style(Histogram)

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  Touched=0 For i=1 to 30 If Close<High[i] and Close>Low[i] then Touched=Touched+1 EndIf Next Return Touched as "Touched" Coloured("Green")Style(Histogram)

  Hi again, now it seems to work. When it is trending it is not touched so many times and when it is not trending it is touched many times.

  Thank you for helping me

  An other upgrade/version… Try with total price instead of close

  Ranging Index

  src = customclose Touched=0 For i=1 to 30 If src<High[i] and src>Low[i] then Touched=Touched+1 EndIf Next Filtre = Average[5](Touched) If Filtre < 5 then ColR = 0 ColG = 128 ColB = 0 Else ColR = 128 ColG = 128 ColB = 128 Endif Return 1 as "Ranging Index" Coloured(ColR,ColG,ColB)Style(Histogram)

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

  src = customclose   Touched=0 For i=1 to 30 If src<High[i] and src>Low[i] then Touched=Touched+1 EndIf Next   Filtre = Average[5](Touched)   If Filtre < 5 then ColR = 0 ColG = 128 ColB = 0 Else ColR = 128 ColG = 128 ColB = 128 Endif   Return 1 as "Ranging Index" Coloured(ColR,ColG,ColB)Style(Histogram)

  Little upgrade… The idea is not bad, but still not accurate as my main range detector.

  Ranging Index

  src = customclose Touched=0 For i=0 to 28 If src<High[i] and src>Low[i] then Touched=Touched+1 EndIf Next Filtre = ExponentialAverage[2](Touched) If Filtre < 5 then ColR = 0 ColG = 128 ColB = 0 Else ColR = 128 ColG = 128 ColB = 128 Endif Return 1 as "Ranging Index" Coloured(ColR,ColG,ColB)Style(Histogram)

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

  src = customclose   Touched=0 For i=0 to 28 If src<High[i] and src>Low[i] then Touched=Touched+1 EndIf Next   Filtre = ExponentialAverage[2](Touched)   If Filtre < 5 then ColR = 0 ColG = 128 ColB = 0 Else ColR = 128 ColG = 128 ColB = 128 Endif   Return 1 as "Ranging Index" Coloured(ColR,ColG,ColB)Style(Histogram)
