# AVGPRICE: Average Price
| Property | Value |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **Category** | Core |
| **Inputs** | OHLCV bar (TBar) |
| **Parameters** | None |
| **Outputs** | Single series (AVGPRICE) |
| **Output range** | Varies (see docs) |
| **Warmup** | `1` bars |
### TL;DR
- AVGPRICE computes the arithmetic mean of a bar's four canonical prices: Open, High, Low, and Close.
- No configurable parameters; computation is stateless per bar.
- Output range: Varies (see docs).
- Requires `1` bars of warmup before first valid output (IsHot = true).
- Validated against TA-Lib, Skender, and Tulip reference implementations where available.
AVGPRICE computes the arithmetic mean of a bar's four canonical prices: Open, High, Low, and Close. The formula $\frac{O + H + L + C}{4}$ produces a single representative price that weights all four price components equally, unlike Typical Price (which excludes Open) or Weighted Close (which double-weights Close). This equal weighting makes AVGPRICE the least biased single-bar summary statistic, useful as a neutral input to downstream indicators when no particular price component deserves emphasis. The calculation is stateless, requires no warmup, and costs a single FMA instruction per bar.
