Candle Index

MDS · 2016-11-24T14:11:11+00:00

Hi All, I’m trying to develope a TS. The TS enter at market when 3 conditions are accomplished. I need to know ho to get the index of a bar, because when a condition occurs, the other maybe not and I’d like to define a window of validity. Anyway I want a condition is valid for N candles. I tried to get the barindex and store into a variable… but this values follows the evolution of barindex How to can I achieve that? Best Regards, Mauro

It would be useful / helpful to you if your current code is shown on here then we can see better what you are trying to do / need?

Cheers

Thanks, if needed I’ll translate in english. The conditions have to be valid for N candles
```
once divergenzaLongCondizione = 0
once divergenzaShortCondizione = 0
once divergenzaConditionIndex = 0
divergenzaSeniority = window*1.1



if (pHigh[window] - Chikou)*pipfactor>soglia then

divergenzaLongCondizione = 1
divergenzaConditionIndex = divergenzaConditionIndex+1 // tried barindex before, but it's variable
endif

if (Chikou - pLow[window])*pipfactor>soglia then
divergenzaShortCondizione = 1
divergenzaConditionIndex = divergenzaConditionIndex+1
endif


if barindex-divergenzaConditionIndex > divergenzaSeniority then
divergenzaLongCondizione = 0
divergenzaShortCondizione = 0
divergenzaConditionIndex = 0
endif

if divergenzaLongCondizione then

endif

CONDIZIONILONG= divergenzaLongCondizione
CONDIZIONISTOPLONG=0 and spana <> spanb
CONDIZIONISHORT= divergenzaShortCondizione
CONDIZIONISTOPSHORT=0



// Condizioni per entrare su posizioni long
IF NOT LongOnMarket AND CONDIZIONILONG THEN
BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET
SET TARGET PPROFIT TP
SET STOP pLOSS SL
ENDIF

// Condizioni per uscire da posizioni long
If LongOnMarket AND CONDIZIONISTOPLONG THEN
SELL AT MARKET
ENDIF

// Condizioni per entrare su posizioni short
IF NOT ShortOnMarket AND CONDIZIONISHORT THEN
SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET
SET TARGET PPROFIT TP
SET STOP pLOSS SL
ENDIF

// Condizioni per uscire da posizioni short
IF ShortOnMarket AND CONDIZIONISTOPSHORT THEN
EXITSHORT AT MARKET
ENDIF
```

Hi all.

I resolved in this way.

I wanted that a condition was valid for n candles.

So.

Once index=0

Condition =0

If condition then

Index=index+1

Endif

Then there is a reset policy.

Regards,

Mauro

Thx a lot…

Aniway it could be achived using barindex. It’s the very same.
