    Hi,

    I am a new member at this great community although I already engage myself in coding PRT setups since about 2 years. Up to now I always got ahead by reading the good manuals and researching into this forum.

    But currently I am following an idea which I cannot code offhanded by myself anymore. I rather have doupts if it is possible to develop my setup in PRT at all.

    So here’s my Idea for the long setup, mainly dedicated to indices:

    A sloping Trendline has to be identified by touching three highest highs of different time periodes (for instance 40, 20, 5) within a tolerance range of a few points. If it would be possible to save every barindex and every high of these three candles it would also be possible to describe this line as a linear graph with the basic function y=mx+b inside cartesian coordinates (x=time; y=price).

    A breakout could be identified by setting a stop buy order a few points above the trendline. The price level of the order is defined by calculating the intersection point of the sloping line and a vertical line on current time level.

    My major issue is: How can I resort to time and price of the three needed highest highs? The rest is already coded in my mind 😉

    Can anybody give me a first approach for such an entry setup?

    I hope I explained understandable. If not please feel free to come back to me anytime.

    Many thanks in advance for your support.

    Kjell

    Hi Kurusu

    If you put on here the code that is ‘in your mind’ then I’m sure help would soon be forthcoming.

    Cheers

    Someone asked me the same thing recently. I put this on hold because of the problem of comparing time scale and price scale in ‘y=ax+b’ , if you have any idea, I’m not too far ..
