Variables: double oHighLowNum( 0 ),
double oOpenCloseAv( 0 ),

string oRetMessage( "" );

// Call the _QuickTips12 function
// Inputs are H, L, 2, and " Indicator calling function "
// Outputs are returned to oHighLowNum, oOpenCloseAv, oRetMessage
Value1 = _QuickTips12( H, L, 2, " Indicator calling function ", oHighLowNum, oOpenCloseAv, oRetMessage );

// Plot the oHighLowNum and oOpenCloseAv outputs
Plot1( oHighLowNum, "HLAv", Red );
Plot2( oOpenCloseAv, "OCAv", Green );

// Print the output message
Print( Value1, " ", D, " ", T, oRetMessage );

double PriceL( numericseries ), // Numeric series input

int Denom( numericsimple ), // Numeric simple expression with no history available

string oMessage( StringRef ); // String output

oHLNum = ( PriceH + PriceL ) / Denom; // Calculates the sum of the price inputs divided by the Denom input
