Hey Guys,
I need some help for a screening idea.
The screener has to show me all stocks (or other things) where the high fractal is 5 candles in the past.
I used this indicator code
// Visualisation des fractales avec flèches
Arrow = 0
// Nombres de bougies constituant la fractale (impair)
Ncandles = 5
// Nombres de bougies de chaque côté de la bougie extrême
Nside = (Ncandles - 1) / 2
// Définition de la fractale supérieure
IF high[Nside] >= highest[Ncandles](high) THEN
Fup = high[Nside]
Arrow = -1
ENDIF
// Définition de la fractale inférieure
IF low[Nside] <= lowest[Ncandles](low) THEN
Fdown = low[Nside]
Arrow = 1
ENDIF
// Tracé des flèches
IF Arrow = 1 THEN
DRAWARROWDOWN(barindex[2],low[2]-Averagetruerange[5]/3)coloured(255,0,0)
ELSIF Arrow = -1 THEN
DRAWARROWUP(barindex[2],high[2]+Averagetruerange[5]/3)coloured(0,150,0)
ENDIF
Return Fup as "Fractale UP", Fdown as "Fractale DOWN"
Dropped the drawing code, so it looked at the end like this:
// Visualisation des fractales avec flèches
Arrow = 0
// Nombres de bougies constituant la fractale (impair)
Ncandles = 5
// Nombres de bougies de chaque côté de la bougie extrême
Nside = (Ncandles - 1) / 2
// Définition de la fractale supérieure
IF high[Nside] >= highest[Ncandles](high) THEN
Arrow = -1
ENDIF
// Définition de la fractale inférieure
IF low[Nside] <= lowest[Ncandles](low) THEN
Arrow = 1
ENDIF
// Beispielcode Screener
SCREENER[Arrow[5] = 1]
So problem is: it does not work. Is anybody out there who can tell me what I am doing wrong? 🙂
This is the code that should work in this case:
// Nombres de bougies constituant la fractale (impair)
Ncandles = 5
// Nombres de bougies de chaque côté de la bougie extrême
Nside = (Ncandles - 1) / 2
// Définition de la fractale supérieure
fractal = high[Nside] >= highest[Ncandles](high)
// Beispielcode Screener
SCREENER[fractal[5]]
Bear in mind that Fractals appear on candlesticks in the past, so even scanning a fractal occurrence 5 bars ago doesn’t mean that the fractal will be displayed 5 bars ago from the current bar.
