check distance function

[drankman]

Hello,

I have a question on how to use the "check distance function"
it is calculated by subtracting the upper level from lower level (upper level - lower level)?

for example like this below for long direction, lets say where the open price is higher than the candle

1. market price and 2 is the candle price. So, for example I want that the distance should not be lower than 2 ATR
   

and for this short direction, where market price is lower than the candle for instance:

1. market price and 2 is the candle price. So, for example I want that the distance should not be lower than 2 ATR

@andrewfrank Yes, that should work. Your logic is correct, but I guess something is not working as expected. Right?

@l-andorrà
I haven't tried it on demo yet, I am just configuring it right now and trying to understand this function.
I will let you know if it doesnt work

Thanks man!

@andrewfrank You're welcome.

I f for example I want to know the distance between the current candle and the moving average in real time for each candle, how can I use the check distance function to do that and put it into a comment?

You need to use variables. Each point should be stored into a different variable. Then you subtract the lower value from the higher into a third variable and that can be visualized via the 'comment' block.

thanks but I am not sure how to do it, I tried but it did not worked, can you give a quick example of the way I should do it

@Gerardoppj1029 You can do something like this:
