Candle recognize questions
hi guys i have a questions about , how recognize for all cross , explane better , example:
if you want recognize if body of candel is up you do a differnces of close-open if is max of > 0.00 is up , is less is down body candel. ok
but if i want distinguish big body candel, i should if differnces is > xxx then , but in this mode if i am in eurusd the xxx is equal for example 0.00100 , but if i am in XAUUSD the difference will be 20.36, is compleatly different value but for my eye in platform is thesame candel (like dimension)
is possible count the body like graphic sign and not consider price ?
thankz
i hope i explain me correct .....sorry
use ATR with big period
you can explan much better have an example ? thankz

you can use https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/chart_operations/charttimepricetoxy
to
get X, Y size in pixels.

You must state your condition in concrete terms or you can not code it. "Big" is not. Larger than n × ATR is
one definition.
hi i try to understund how work the function ChartTimePriceToXY , i create this little script
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| trend.mq4 | //| Copyright 2015, MetaQuotes Software Corp. | //| https://www.mql5.com | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnTick() { int DOT_x,DOT_y; datetime DOT_B = iTime("USDCHF",PERIOD_H1,1); bool ok = ChartTimePriceToXY(0,0,DOT_B,Open[1],DOT_x,DOT_y); Print("OffLineChart: BarTime: ",DOT_B, " x,y: ",DOT_x,", ",DOT_y," Error: ",_LastError," ok: ",ok); }
but how is possible verify if coordinate is correct?
for example if i stop with arrow of the mouse over candel i look open price close price and more info is possible have somthing similar for verify ??
thankz

i think also this function have some limits , i explain :
for me is important have a fix dimention of candel body +shadow , independently of cross and dimention of screen , all solution for calculate this are fallacius, because:
if i calculate with open price and close price (4 body) and if i move expert in other cross, change the different ratio, therfore dimention is differents , also if for my eye and for my analisis is equal.
if i calculate with x,y on the screen if i move or zoom it the value change and but for my eye is always the same candel .
not exist a absolut univoc system for mesure a candel ?
thankz at all
i continue to understund the function ChartTimePriceToXY but i have always strange problem
example i have 2 candel A in position 1 and B in postion 36 A is down candel and B is up candel but is identical dimention body but return 2 value differents why???? o_O

- Why are you passing the time of the last H1 bar (Bar 1) and the open or close of the 36th bar?
- The height of the body is the difference between the open and close — not their sum.
ATR(140) for GBPUSD might be 0.00200
and for GBPJPY it might be 0.20000
ATR reflects the volatility of the pair, but also the relative size (price value) of the pair.
so it's a good indicator of the "size" of one candle
it adapts to the volatility as well as the value of the price
for example how do you know if a candle is "big" or not ? because the size means nothing.
for example:
if (high-low > mul * atr) { "big candle" }
"mul" is the min size you want.
hope it helps

if you want recognize if body of candel is up you do a differnces of close-open if is max of > 0.00 is up , is less is down body candel. ok
but if i want distinguish big body candel, i should if differnces is > xxx then , but in this mode if i am in eurusd the xxx is equal for example 0.00100 , but if i am in XAUUSD the difference will be 20.36, is compleatly different value but for my eye in platform is thesame candel (like dimension)
is possible count the body like graphic sign and not consider price ?
