  Hi,

  How do I test whether, as an example, 5 out of the last 7 candles were red (in a downtrend) . Any green candles can be ignored unless they break the previous high.

  Opposite for uptrend.

  In a downtrend, something like this:

   

  FiveSevenRed=0 RedCandles=0 FOR i = 0 TO 6 DO IF (Close[i] < Open[i]) THEN RedCandles=RedCandles+1 ELSE if close>high[i+1] then Break ENDIF FiveSevenRed=1 NEXT If RedCandles<5 then FiveSevenRed=0 Endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  FiveSevenRed=0 RedCandles=0   FOR i = 0 TO 6 DO            IF (Close[i] < Open[i]) THEN                  RedCandles=RedCandles+1            ELSE if close>high[i+1] then                  Break            ENDIF            FiveSevenRed=1 NEXT   If RedCandles<5 then FiveSevenRed=0 Endif
