tradestocalculate= Trades.find_by_sql(sql) 
tradestocalculate.each {|item|
  sql="select MIN(LASTPRICE) as mini,MAX(LASTPRICE) as  maxi,COUNT(*) as no from tickdata where time >='#{item['entry']}' AND time <= '#{item['exitt']}' and

Answer 1

Your result is in details[0]['mini'], details[0]['maxi'] and details[0]['no']
