Indicator Difference2 shows the difference between the current price and the price as of N periods ago, as a histogram.

Unlike the first version of Difference, where the difference is shown between the values of bar prices (High - Low or Close - Open) now and as of N periods ago, this version shows the difference between the Applied prices as of now and as of N periods ago.

It has three input parameters:

  • Period - period;
  • Calculation type - type of calculations:
    • Absolute - calculations in absolute values;
    • Relative - calculations in relative values.
  • Applied price - price used for calculations.

Calculations:

Calculation type = Absolute:

Difference[i] = Price[i] - Price[i-Period]

Calculation type = Relative:

Difference[i] = 100*(Price[i] - Price[i-Period])/Price[i-Period]
