Learning Understanding ta.change//First script I have published. Constructive criticism is welcome.
// I hope this may be helpful to you.
// Initially, I did this for myself as I was getting some odd results from the ta.change function. Turns out it was my error LOL. What a surprise!
// Typical syntax: ta.change(source, value)
// value doesn't need to be included. If it isn't, it will only calculate the change between the last and current value.
// Conclusion. ta.change simply calculates the difference between a previous value/candle and the latest value/candle current value in that series. Positive number states that the recent is higher.
// Bonus :-) Function on line 34 outputs the changes in a positive figure (so as to be able to sum the changes/volatility of the series of values)

Learning Built-in VarsI'm currently working on v5 of my Pine Script Programming Course.
As a part of it, I'm building a few tools/widgets to help students get the content easier.
Here is one of the tools. It's quite basic with it you can select a bar and see all the build-in variables for this bar (Except strategy variables)
I hope it will help you in learning Pine Script!
