How to detect a change of the candle color

 

Hi folks,


I want to detect wether the color of a candle with a shift of 2 in the timeseries is different than the color of the candle with shift 1.


It was said, that somewhere in this forum the problem has already ben dicussed, but I searched for hours now and couldn't find it.



Any Help would be great

No big problem, you dont need to know the colour, the open/close values dictate which is which 'colour'

...

if Open[2]<Close[2] // is 'up' bar, e.g. 'blue'

else // is down bar, e.g. 'red'

...

if Open[1]<Close[1] // is 'up' bar, e.g. 'blue'

else // is down bar, e.g. 'red'

FWIW

Oh shit,


I'm really blind because of not seeing this obvious thing.


Thank you for quick answering
