comparing indicators from different periods

  Hi,

   

  I was looking through the forums and had a query in regard to comparing indicators in different time periods. Say  I wanted to compare an RSI from 6 candles ago to a current close[0]. How would I go about doing this for example could I do the following;

  rsi_level= rsi[14] if rsi_level[6]>rsi_level[0] then ///do somthing endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  rsi_level= rsi[14]   if rsi_level[6]>rsi_level[0] then   ///do somthing   endif

   

  Also if certain conditions are met would it be possible to record a value inside pro real time.

   

  if rsi_level>70 and daytrend>3 and roc_level>3 then SELL SHORT 3 PER POINT AT MARKET //What would be the code to record stochastic sto=stochastic[0] endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  if rsi_level>70 and daytrend>3 and roc_level>3 then   SELL SHORT 3 PER POINT AT MARKET   //What would be the code to record stochastic   sto=stochastic[0]   endif

   

  Really appreciate the feedback and support provided

   

  Kind Regards,

  The documentation found under help can be very useful when you don’t know the format for a bit of code:

  https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/stochastic/

  Your RSI code looks fine but bear in mind that the current candle is 0 so six candles including the current candle is candle 5.

  Hi That’s great thanks for that in regard to the second question is it possible to record a variable ?

   

   

  record_rsi= 0 my_rsi=rsi[14] if roc>14 then //record variable record_rsi=my_rsi[0] endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  record_rsi= 0 my_rsi=rsi[14]   if roc>14 then     //record variable    record_rsi=my_rsi[0]   endif

  Really Appreciate  the input

  Kind Regards,

  Yes of course it is. Just save a value as any variable name just as you have done and that variable will keep that value until you give an instruction to change it.

  So for example you could even save the last five values:

  if ROC > 14 then rsivalue5 = rsivalue4 rsivalue4 = rsivalue3 rsivalue3 = rsivalue2 rsivalue1 = rsi[14] endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  if ROC > 14 then rsivalue5 = rsivalue4 rsivalue4 = rsivalue3 rsivalue3 = rsivalue2 rsivalue1 = rsi[14] endif

  Between lines 4 and 5 this one is missing:

  rsivalue2 = rsivalue1

  1	rsivalue2 = rsivalue1

  Well spotted Roberto – that’s what happens if you try to cook dinner and reply on a forum at the same time!
