Am I calculating incorrectly?
If I display the Average Day Range calculation for one day for General Motors for the day of Wednesday, November 26, 2008 using the StockFetcher code: Add Column Average Day Range(1), the program displays: "52.2"

When I attempt to compute the Average Day Range(1) using the StockFetcher numbers for GM for that day, I get a different number: 50.52

StockFetcher reports GM's numbers as: O=4.45; H=5.87; L=3.44; C=4.81;
I compute: (5.87 - 3.44) / 4.81 = 50.52
While this difference may seem minor, it can make a difference when designing a filter using Average Day Range cutoff points. For example: "Average day range(10) > 5"

Is my computation incorrect?

Tomb: Can you tell us what the official formula is? For example for Average Day Range(10) ?

Thanks

Problem seems to have gone away. I cannot now duplicate the 50.2 that the program had displayed, but, now displays what I calculated?
