4 green bars followed by a very long one

Stratus6 · 2016-08-20T13:14:47+00:00

I’d be really grateful for any assistance as to why this simple code doesn’t work. Above is a screen shot of the eur/usd showing 4 green bars followed by a very long one. All I want the code to do is detect 3 consecutive green bars – the final one of which is a large multiple of the one before – e.g. 5x then sell. Thanks all Linden c1 = (Close[1] - Open[1]) > 5*(Close[2] - Open[2]) c2 = (Close[3]) > Open[3] ) IF c1 and c2 THEN SELLSHORT 1 lot at market endif

c1 = (Close[1] - Open[1]) > 5*(Close[2] - Open[2])
c2 = (Close[3]) > Open[3] )
IF c1 and c2 THEN SELLSHORT 1 lot at market

endif

Hi stratus,

Not tested, but it would operate properly I believe:
```
c1 = summation[4](close>open)=4
c2 = range>range[1]*5

if c1 and c2 then 
 SELLSHORT 1 LOT AT MARKET 
endif
```
