  Hello Everyone,

  I have recently studied the ProBuilder Manual and found it very exciting and helpful. However, I tried to code something and it is giving me an error which I am unable to rectify.

  Here is the code:

  // Faster Average = 8 // Slower Average = 18 // Difference Period = 9 fastAvg = Average[8](close) slowAvg = Average[18](close) differencePeriod = 9 trendDifference = fastAvg - slowAvg differenceAvg = Average(trendDifference, differencePeriod) RETURN trendDifference AS "Trend Difference", differenceAvg AS "Difference Average"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  // Faster Average = 8 // Slower Average = 18 // Difference Period = 9   fastAvg = Average[8](close) slowAvg = Average[18](close) differencePeriod = 9   trendDifference = fastAvg - slowAvg differenceAvg = Average(trendDifference, differencePeriod)   RETURN trendDifference AS "Trend Difference", differenceAvg AS "Difference Average"

  The problem is with the differenceAvg line. I want to get the average of both trendDifference and differencePeriod but unable to do so.

  Can anyone please guide me how to rectify this problem.

  Thanks in advance.

  I also have attached the image.

  Regards,
  Maisam

  You cannot use AVERAGE as you have done. Simply do this:

  differenceAvg = (trendDifference + differencePeriod) / 2

  1	differenceAvg = (trendDifference + differencePeriod) / 2

  Another “code help” labelled topic. We should declare it as the only one valid name for topics, it would save me soooooo much time! :devil:
