Between ( double parameter , double value1 , double value2 );
Description
Tests if the specified parameter is within the range of value1 and value2 inclusively. The function returns 1 (true) if the data is between the two parameter values, and 0 (false) if the data is outside of the two parameter values.
Input parameters
| Parameter | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| parameter | - | Defines parameter to test. |
| value1 | - | Defines the first endpoint of the range. |
| value2 | - | Defines the second endpoint of the range. |
Example
declare lower;
input lowLimit = 140.0;
input highLimit = 160.0;
plot Between1 = Between(close, lowLimit, highLimit);
plot Between2 = close >= lowLimit and close <= highLimit;
The code will return 1 if the closing price is between lowLimit and highLimit, and 0 if the closing price is below lowLimit or above highLimit. The example also shows the alternative solution to the between function implemented using the double inequality.
