  Oh…I am sorry Vonasi, I didn’t see that before. It showed up after I refreshed the internet link (F5 Windows). And that was after I posted. I will refresh my link before I post again. I keep learning :-).
  Thanks

  Oh…. I am sorry Vonasi, I didn’t see your posts from 09/08/2019 at 3:58 PM and 09/08/2019 at 4:03 PM. I just found out I have to refresh my link to see the new post. So I just saw them after I posted the last coding. I thought it would refesh automatically. I keep learning.
  I am take your comments and I am working on them rght now, Thanks a lot.

  Hi Vonasi, I attached your past down here again, because I don’t understand the connection between mclst = LM in line 6 and mclst = min(mclst, LM) in line 18. The line 6 is actually not valid because there is no end of the MACD Cycle Low defined. And what is <br> (break line?) at the bottom? Do I need that here?

  //start of cycle MD1 = LM(close) <= Signalline and LM[1] > LM(close) If MD1 then MCL = 1 mclst = LM endif //END OF CYCLE LOW MACD MD2 = LM(close) => Signalline and LM[1] < LM(close) If MD2 then MCL = 0 endif //lowest LM in cycle if mcl then mclst = min(mclst, LM) endif <br>

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

  //start of cycle MD1 = LM(close) <= Signalline and LM[1] > LM(close) If MD1 then MCL = 1 mclst = LM endif //END OF CYCLE LOW MACD MD2 = LM(close) => Signalline and LM[1] < LM(close) If MD2 then MCL = 0 endif //lowest LM in cycle if mcl then mclst = min(mclst, LM) endif <br>

  It’s easier if you post a complete code as otherwise I have to go back and find out what variables actually are!

  I have no idea how the <br> got in the code – delete it.

  Have you found and read the documentation here as most of the answers to your questions can be found in there:

  https://www.prorealcode.com/prorealtime-documentation/

  Here is your code with some notes.

  //start of cycle MD1 = LM(close) <= Signalline and LM[1] > LM(close)//your condition to say we are in a cycle (I have no idea if it is correct!) If MD1 then //we are in a low cycle MCL = 1// set a flag so we know we are in a low cycle mclst = LM// set a first value to compare against for our lowest LM endif //END OF CYCLE LOW MACD MD2 = LM(close) => Signalline and LM[1] < LM(close)// your conditions to say we are out of a cycle (I have no idea if they are correct!) If MD2 then// our cycle has ended MCL = 0 //turn the flag off so we know we are no longer in the cycle endif //lowest LM in cycle if mcl then //we are still in a cycle mclst = min(mclst, LM) //if this LM is lower than last value for mclst then make it the new value endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

  //start of cycle MD1 = LM(close) <= Signalline and LM[1] > LM(close)//your condition to say we are in a cycle (I have no idea if it is correct!) If MD1 then //we are in a low cycle MCL = 1// set a flag so we know we are in a low cycle mclst = LM// set a first value to compare against for our lowest LM endif //END OF CYCLE LOW MACD MD2 = LM(close) => Signalline and LM[1] < LM(close)// your conditions to say we are out of a cycle (I have no idea if they are correct!) If MD2 then// our cycle has ended MCL = 0 //turn the flag off so we know we are no longer in the cycle endif //lowest LM in cycle if mcl then //we are still in a cycle mclst = min(mclst, LM) //if this LM is lower than last value for mclst then make it the new value endif

  Thanks a lot for the ProRealTime documentation link. That is really helpfull.

  What I see is that most of the periods are based on number of bars. Like what is the lowest MACDline over the last 25 bars.

  What I am looking for is how to define a whole period when the MACDline < ExponentialAverage(Mline) and how to define/name the lowest MACDline in that period, and to define and name the Price Low at the bar with the Lowest MACD line. These period don’t happen in a fixed  number of bars.

  This is the essence of what I am working on.

  Something like this?

  //start of cycle MD1 = LM(close) <= Signalline and LM[1] > LM(close)//your condition to say we are in a cycle (I have no idea if it is correct!) If MD1 then //we are in a low cycle MCL = 1// set a flag so we know we are in a low cycle mclst = LM// set a start value to compare against for our lowest LM LowestLMPrice = LM//set a start value for price at lowest LM endif //END OF CYCLE LOW MACD MD2 = LM(close) => Signalline and LM[1] < LM(close)// your conditions to say we are out of a cycle (I have no idea if they are correct!) If MD2 then// our cycle has ended MCL = 0 //turn the flag off so we know we are no longer in the cycle endif //lowest LM in cycle if mcl then //we are still in a cycle mclst = min(mclst, LM) //if this LM is lower than last value for mclst then make it the new value if mclst = LM then//if this LM is the same as the lowest then LowestLMPrice = close//store the price at lowest LM endif endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

  //start of cycle MD1 = LM(close) <= Signalline and LM[1] > LM(close)//your condition to say we are in a cycle (I have no idea if it is correct!) If MD1 then //we are in a low cycle MCL = 1// set a flag so we know we are in a low cycle mclst = LM// set a start value to compare against for our lowest LM LowestLMPrice = LM//set a start value for price at lowest LM endif //END OF CYCLE LOW MACD MD2 = LM(close) => Signalline and LM[1] < LM(close)// your conditions to say we are out of a cycle (I have no idea if they are correct!)

  Hi Vonasi,
  Line 2: I was wondering if the second condition is correct, because when the LM < Signalline there will be a moment when the LM starts to move upwards, but the LM is still below the Signalline. And then we are still in the Cycle low. In your description the cycle low stops when the LM starts to move upwards and the cycle stops when the LM => Signalline.

  My idea to crack this cookie is to find a way to pinpoint the starting and the ending of the cycle low. That is easy. But then to pinpoint the bar with the lowest MACDline value  and the lowest Price in between those 2 points is where I get stuck. See my attachment what I am looking for.

  So the starting point of the cycle is when:
  MD1 = LM(close) <= Signalline and LM[1]=>Signalline[1] ……………….or another way to descibe it ………….Mline crosses under Signalline
  The end point of the cycle low is when:
  D1 = LM(close) >= Signalline and LM[1]=<Signalline[1] ……………….or another way to descibe it ………….Mline crosses over Signalline

  But now I only have pinpointed the start and ending. the next step is to pinpoint the bar with the lowest MACDline between those two points. And that is where I get stuck.

  This is how I would code it for finding the values at the bottom of the cycle. I’ve tested it and it works.

  macdl = macdline[12,26,9] macds = exponentialaverage[9](macdl) //start of cycle If macdl < macds and macdl[1] > macds[1] then incycle = 1 macdlowest = macdl LowestPrice = macdl endif //end of cycle If macdl > macds and macdl[1] < macds[1] then incycle = 0 endif //lowest macd and price in cycle if incycle then macdlowest = min(macdlowest, macdl) if macdlowest = macdl then LowestPrice = low endif endif return macdlowest as "lowest macd in cycle", lowestprice as "lowest price in cycle"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

  macdl = macdline[12,26,9] macds = exponentialaverage[9](macdl) //start of cycle If macdl < macds and macdl[1] > macds[1] then incycle = 1 macdlowest = macdl LowestPrice = macdl endif //end of cycle If macdl > macds and macdl[1] < macds[1] then incycle = 0 endif //lowest macd and price in cycle if incycle then macdlowest = min(macdlowest, macdl) if macdlowest = macdl then LowestPrice = low endif endif   return macdlowest as "lowest macd in cycle", lowestprice as "lowest price in cycle"

  That is awesome !!! How do you test it? I mean where do you insert the indicator? In the chart? In the MACD? I only get a big white areau, no matter where I insert it.

  Just add it as a separate indicator. It simply returns two lines so that you can check the values.

  Yes…. It works. You are a genious Vonasi. :-).
  I am gonna continue to find a way to get a Signal as in the attachment.
  Thanks a lot.

  If you are wanting to compare the latest lowest point in a cycle to the previous one then you have the issue that you will not know what the latest low of a cycle is until the cycle has ended by which time you have missed the boat.

  No I don’t want to compare that.
  .
  What I want to compare is
  WHEN
  -1) a new cycle low has started
  -2) and a candle crosses over the SMA50 after the candle is closed (open < SMA 50 and close > SMA50)

  THEN
  – if the lowest price of that crossing candle is higher thean the lowest of the price of previous cycle low
  AND
  – if the MACD of that crossing candle is higher then the lowest MACD of the previous cycle low.
  .

  See attachment.

  Finding the value of the previous MACD cycle low and price at that point is easy – we just store it when a new cycle starts.

  macdl = macdline[12,26,9] macds = exponentialaverage[9](macdl) //start of cycle If macdl < macds and macdl[1] > macds[1] then macdlowest2 = macdlowest lowestprice2 = lowestprice incycle = 1 macdlowest = macdl LowestPrice = macdl endif //Eend of cycle If macdl > macds and macdl[1] < macds[1] then incycle = 0 endif //lowest macd and price in cycle if incycle then macdlowest = min(macdlowest, macdl) if macdlowest = macdl then LowestPrice = low endif endif return macdlowest as "lowest macd in cycle", lowestprice as "lowest price in cycle", macdlowest2 as "previous lowest macd in cycle", lowestprice2 as "previous lowest price in cycle"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

  macdl = macdline[12,26,9] macds = exponentialaverage[9](macdl) //start of cycle If macdl < macds and macdl[1] > macds[1] then macdlowest2 = macdlowest lowestprice2 = lowestprice incycle = 1 macdlowest = macdl LowestPrice = macdl endif //Eend of cycle If macdl > macds and macdl[1] < macds[1] then incycle = 0 endif //lowest macd and price in cycle if incycle then macdlowest = min(macdlowest, macdl) if macdlowest = macdl then LowestPrice = low endif endif   return macdlowest as "lowest macd in cycle", lowestprice as "lowest price in cycle", macdlowest2 as "previous lowest macd in cycle", lowestprice2 as "previous lowest price in cycle"
