  Good morning!

  I tried to rewrite the latest great indicator of Vonasi, Five Bar Trend Dashboard, to pro order, but failed. Any one care to elaborate what I am doing wrong, thanks!

  Five Bar Trend Dashboard by Vonasi to Pro Order functionality

  Just like GraHal it works for me. I have removed all references to customclose and referenced m5 instead so that it will work with the various custom prices by // out the prices you don’t need.

  Dear Vonasi,

  Now I am trying to figure out how to calculate the upper line, which I thought was dcount (down, green) or ucount (up, red). I made a simple exit condition, BearCount that you will find in the end of the code. What am I doing wrong?

  Sorry soulintact but I don’t fully understand what you are trying to do. The top line is just the count of bars in a row where all tests have been either all up or all tests have been down.

  The only thing I can say is that if a test results in not all tests being up or not all tests being down then the following code does not reset dcount or ucount to zero.

  if down = 5 then dcount = dcount + 1 ucount = 0 endif if up = 5 then dcount = 0 ucount = ucount + 1 endif BearCount=dcount > 7

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  if down = 5 then dcount = dcount + 1 ucount = 0 endif if up = 5 then dcount = 0 ucount = ucount + 1 endif BearCount=dcount > 7

  Thank you Vonasi for your prompt reply. Sorry for not being clear enough.

  As of the included file, I want to be able to calculate the numbers 3(green) 1 (green) 1 (red) 8 (red) 1 (red) 1 (green) 4 (green) 1 (green).

  By the code I wanted to exit the position when the number of red/down was greater than 7. I enclose the code again with your suggested modification.

  That wasn’t a suggested modification – that was the bit of your original code that I cut and pasted in where values are not set to zero at any time!

  In the original code it was like this:

  flag = 0 if down[1] = 5 and down <> 5 and up <> 5 then drawtext("▲",barindex,2,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(0,128,0) a = dcount[1] drawtext("#a#",barindex,3,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(0,128,0) dcount = 0 flag = 1 endif if up[1] = 5 and down <> 5 and up <> 5 then drawtext("▼",barindex,2,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(128,0,0) a = ucount[1] drawtext("#a#",barindex,3,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(128,0,0) ucount = 0 flag = 1 endif if flag = 0 and up <> 5 and down <> 5 then drawtext("○",barindex,2,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(0,0,255) endif

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

  flag = 0 if down[1] = 5 and down <> 5 and up <> 5 then drawtext("▲",barindex,2,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(0,128,0) a = dcount[1] drawtext("#a#",barindex,3,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(0,128,0) dcount = 0 flag = 1 endif if up[1] = 5 and down <> 5 and up <> 5 then drawtext("▼",barindex,2,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(128,0,0) a = ucount[1] drawtext("#a#",barindex,3,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(128,0,0) ucount = 0 flag = 1 endif if flag = 0 and up <> 5 and down <> 5 then drawtext("○",barindex,2,SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(0,0,255) endif

  If we remove the graphics and replace them with variables then we can get something like:

  flag = 0 if down[1] = 5 and down <> 5 and up <> 5 then direction = 1 a = dcount[1] dcount = 0 flag = 1 endif if up[1] = 5 and down <> 5 and up <> 5 then direction = -1 a = ucount[1] ucount = 0 flag = 1 endif if flag = 0 and up <> 5 and down <> 5 then direction = 0 a = 0 endif

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

  flag = 0 if down[1] = 5 and down <> 5 and up <> 5 then direction = 1 a = dcount[1] dcount = 0 flag = 1 endif if up[1] = 5 and down <> 5 and up <> 5 then direction = -1 a = ucount[1] ucount = 0 flag = 1 endif if flag = 0 and up <> 5 and down <> 5 then direction = 0 a = 0 endif

  So now we have a variable ‘direction’ that can be either -1, zero or 1 and the variable ‘a’ which is the quantity of the same direction in a row or zero if all directions are not the same.

  Thank you Vonasi for your patience!

  What expression would I use to be able to “catch” the red 8, or rather 8 lines of green dots and one red dot of the following line?

  I tried a few, and the following is not correct, but with the best performance: BearCount=(direction=1) and (a < 1)

  What am I missing? Thanks!

  There is a critical bit of my original indicator code that does not seem to have found its way into your code. The calculation of dcount and ucount!

  if down = 5 then dcount = dcount + 1 ucount = 0 endif if up = 5 then dcount = 0 ucount = ucount + 1 endif flag = 0 if down[1] = 5 and down <> 5 and up <> 5 then direction = 1 a = dcount[1] dcount = 0 flag = 1 endif if up[1] = 5 and down <> 5 and up <> 5 then direction = -1 a = ucount[1] ucount = 0 flag = 1 endif if flag = 0 and up <> 5 and down <> 5 then direction = 0 a = 0 endif BearCount=(direction=1) and (a > 7)

  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 27 28 29 30 31 32

  if down = 5 then dcount = dcount + 1 ucount = 0 endif if up = 5 then dcount = 0 ucount = ucount + 1 endif   flag = 0 if down[1] = 5 and down <> 5 and up <> 5 then direction = 1 a = dcount[1] dcount = 0 flag = 1 endif if up[1] = 5 and down <> 5 and up <> 5 then direction = -1 a = ucount[1] ucount = 0 flag = 1 endif if flag = 0 and up <> 5 and down <> 5 then direction = 0 a = 0 endif BearCount=(direction=1) and (a > 7)

  Sorry about that! Although it does not work with the edited code as enclosed. Strange! Any more ideas? Thanks!

  It works fine for me.

  I took your code and just added ‘buy at -close limit’ to turn it into a dummy strategy. I rem’d out all references to L1, L2 etc to make it work and then graphed BEARCOUNT  – having changed it to ‘BearCount=(direction=1) and (a > 3)’ and every time there is a run of more than 3 red candles it returns a positive value for BEARCOUNT.

  Dear Vonasi,

  Sorry for being so slow in mind and persistent, but I still do not follow fully. Do the statement below really correspond to the definition in words?

  BearCount=(direction=1) and (a > 7) := (direction is now negative with a least one red dot) and (previously more than 7 of the same direction in a row of green dots)

   

  Cheers!

  No

  BearCount=(direction=1) and (a > 7) would be that we have just had a run of 8 (sets of 5) red dots and this set is not a set of 5 red dots nor a set of five green dots.

  Aha, thanks!

  And how would we formulate the expression to “catch” the red 8 as enclosed.
