Re: indicator to text?

Thanks for the help:

I have three indicators plotted on a chart without the base security that 
indicate the current trading range of the underlying security as follows:

-- today's current range (today's high minus today's low)
-- past 5-day average daily range [(day1 H - L) + (day2 H - L) + ......] / 5
-- past 40-day average daily range

These indicators help me gauge, at any time during the day, the likelihood 
that prices will or will not go beyond current day-high or day-low.

What I would like is to display the actual results of the equations, as 
numbers, somewhere either on an existing chart or in a new chart (without 
displaying the base security).

Does this explanation make sense?
