Great as a code - what I am after is to express it in Strategy Builder (NT 8 equivalent to Strategy Wizard).
Some functions still puzzle me and I am using just basic ones I got familiar with.
As told, Variables need to be set first - and this is where I am getting stuck.
I think I am setting them and then try to compare them (e.g. If Var0 > Var1, then...)
ending up with getting Error Message

You don't say what your error message is, but I think I understand better now.
I started with Strategy Builder and still remember some of the tricks I discovered. In this case, I'd create two variables: realBar0 and realBar1 (I think I used Rb0 in my example below).
The trick is to first check for which value is greater between the close and open, for both bars, so you know how to 'do the math,' since the ABS function is not available in strategy builder (SB).
The example below is for bar 0. You can adapt it to add the SETS for bar 1. Then add the sets that compare the Rb0 and Rb1 variables.
