Can somebody explain what this code is doing in English please?
Without lookin at that indicator, my assumption is basically this code appears to be getting two sums.
1. Over the last 5 bars, sum of the difference in closes from bar to bar. This could be a positive or negative number depending on whether the net change is up or down.
2. Over the last 5 bars, sum of the absolute value of those same differences. This can only be a positive number.
So it appears to be comparing 5 bar directional movement (1) with 5 bar amount of price fluctuation in either direction(2)
