sum results of a formula - MQL5

[Guilherme Mendonca]

Hello folks,

I think it is very easy, but I'm a begginer in MQL5 programming.

I would like to return the sum of periods of the following formula.

n = Number of periods

TimeFrame = 15 minutes

ich = (Candle_High - Candle_Low) * Candle_Volume

Final results should be the sum of -> ich(n) + ich(n-1) + ich(n-2) ... ich (0).

You need to write an indicator. The indicator will have one input parameter: "Number of bars - N".

Here is the indicator code (the code uses a constant passage through the "j" cycle - this is not an optimal and not very beautiful method, but it is accessible and understandable)

I let you think about the appropriated loop to do it, but here you go

Sorry, english isn't my first language so writing & talking using it restricts the quality & the understanding of my expression
