I'm a novice programmer working on a Trading view Pine script. im trying to convert old code to v5 tried a lot but no use. i tried to convert this old script of RDX SCORE INDICATOR but in the end numbers where not plotting in v5 how can i fix this. highly appreciate your support if anyone can help.

In this code the timeframe = '' option is replaced by the request.security() function:

TrueRange = math.max(math.max(high - low, math.abs(high - nz(close[1]))), math.abs(low - nz(close[1])))
DirectionalMovementPlus = high - nz(high[1]) > nz(low[1]) - low ? math.max(high - nz(high[1]), 0) : 0
DirectionalMovementMinus = nz(low[1]) - low > high - nz(high[1]) ? math.max(nz(low[1]) - low, 0) : 0

Answer 2

If the indicator will display signals as if it's on a higher timeframe (ex 15 min) you will receive one signal every 15 minutes.

To achieve this you can use the timeframe = '' option:

indicator('RDX Score', overlay=true, timeframe = '')

If you want

Here is the converted code to version 5.
