That depends upon what you mean for "average".

When applied to a Monthly chart, the following code will calculate the
average price for September (defined as the average of the price at the end
of August and the end of September). Then it will calculate the average of
all of those values and print the result. It also plots the average of
September on the September bar.

Input: TestMo(9);

Vars: Mo(0), Yr(0), Ave(0), Count(0), Sum(0), MoAve(0);

Mo = Month(Date);
Yr = Year(Date);

if Mo = TestMo then begin
   Count = Count + 1;
   MoAve = (Close + Close[1]) / 2;
   Sum = Sum + MoAve;
   Plot1(MoAve, "1");
end;

if LastBarOnChart then begin
   if Count <> 0 then Ave = Sum / Count;
   Print(Date:6:0, Ave:5:2);
end;
