I’m playing with the backtest feature – it’s pretty awesome, but I’m not from a programming background and the Simplified creation doesn’t enable me to do the below.

Basically I want to the current price to have increased by 5% of the price 10 candles before. Can anyone help?

Current price > Previous price x 1.05

Would it go something like this?: c1 = (close[1] > close[10]*1.05)

I hope that make sense. Thank you!

```

```
Would be the close of the previous candle is greater than the close of the candle 9 candles before that. The current candle is candle zero so you you need:
```
 c1 = (close[0] > close[9]*1.05)
```
If you don’t place any [ ] after close then if defaults to the current candle so you can also just use:
```
c1 = (close > close[9]*1.05)
```

I’m going to have to try and learn this coding, seems fun.

And that worked perfectly, many thanks.
