I would like a Condition that computes true for the H-L range  of today greater than the range of the maximum high of the previous 5 days minus the minium low of the previous 5 days. Help please?

I think you want the following:

H - L > MAXH5.1 - MINL5.1

But you might want the following instead:

H - L > H1 - L1 AND H - L > H2 - L2 AND H - L > H3 - L3 AND H - L > H4 - L4 AND H - L > H5 - L5

Neither of these Bruce. The first suggestion includes today in the Maxh5 I believe as does the Minl5.1

The second suggestion compares H-L to each days range. What I want is H-L > the difference between the highest high of the PREVIOUS 5 days (exclude today) and the minimum low of the previous 5 days (exclude today).

Then you want the first suggestion as you appear to be misunderstanding what MAXH5.1 represents.

MAXH5.1 is the highest high in the five bars ending one bar ago and would not include today's high in a daily time frame.
