I am having some trouble getting this right. Obviously it is something basic that I am doing wrong as no matter what I enter I get an error mesaage. I am trying to calculate the price change over the last 180 days, divided by the average true range over that period.

I then want to do the same for 90, 45 & 20 days and then average all 4 results as well. However as I said I can't get really get started. Below is my most recemt attempt ( about attempt number 12)

lastvalue(C)-180(c)/atr(180)

I would write c- hist(c,180) for closing price change over last 180 days, so the whole formula would be (c- hist(c,180))/atr(180).
