Indicator identifying "impulse-candles"

Finn Nielsen 2011.11.24 16:19

I have just scimmed hundreds of indicators in the codebase without result.

I need to identify candles closing in the extreme 20% of the candle's range (high-low).

Example: CandleHigh = 1.3400 CandleLow = 1.3300 - The indy should mark the candle if close is > 1.3380 OR if close is <1.3320

I'm sure its a simple task for the skilled coders in this magnificent forum :)

Thank you in advance!

double  H = High[i],    L = Low[i],     range = H-L;
if ( Close[i] >= H - 0.20*range){ ...   // top 20%

Hi WH,

Thank you for the reply - I did hope for a compiled indicator, but see your codeidea.

Guess I have to learn programming...

Kind regards and thanks again.
