Relative Volume Coding

Hi, guys!

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to code the Relative Volume in Easylanguage. The RVol is a real time indicator and changes its value every minute (I'm using 1 min chart). Going straight to the point, here's what I'm trying to do:

1) Calculate the accumulated volume from the beginning of the session until "now". Let's say the session starts at 10:00 and it's now 11:35. The first step would be to accumulate the total volume traded today (quantity, no financial) from 10:00 to 11:35. This I managed to do:

Code

  
vAcum := QuantityVol(false);
if (Date = Date[1]) then
  vAcum :=  vAcum + vAcum[1];

Lets say the value I get is 109

2) This is where things get tricky. I need to calculate the average value of the variable above for previous sessions (from beginning of session until "now"). Let's say I want the average of 5 previous sessions. Example:

Day -1: accumulated volume from 10:00 to 11:35 = 150
Day -2: accumulated volume from 10:00 to 11:35 = 73
Day -3: accumulated volume from 10:00 to 11:35 = 85
Day -4: accumulated volume from 10:00 to 11:35 = 94
Day -5: accumulated volume from 10:00 to 11:35 = 113

Average = 103

3) Calculate the ration between (1) and (2). In other words: 109/103 = 1.058 which is my Rvol.

I'm using a really simple Easylanguage software here in Brazil, so complex formulas and scripts are not able to be used (yeah, that's ridiculous!).

Thanks a lot!

I'm having a problem trying to get the same bar as of "today" from previous day.

Eg: Right now I'm on bar #5 of the day. I need to get the value of the indicator of the bar #5 from the previous N days.
