Fractions have a top number, which is called the numerator, and a bottom number, which is known as the denominator. This combination of numbers represents how a part relates to a whole. If you have a negative number or variable in the denominator of a fraction, the fraction is not in simplest form, according to traditional mathematics. To state the fraction properly, you must take measures to convert the negative value in the denominator to a positive one.
example if the code return negative ratio how do turn it into a positive
a=open b=close Distance = (a-b) RETURN Distance

a=open
b=close
c = (a–b)

Distance = c * -1

RETURN Distance

Or im guesssing this might work if you do get either a positive or negative C outcome .
```
IF (C < 0) THEN
                 Distance = C * -1
           ELSE
                 Distance = C 
           ENDIF
NEXT

RETURN Distance
```
