pretty new to programming. i imagine this is a pretty common thing, so just wondering if anyone can save me the work. thx.
- Get maxima and minima (condition)
- Starts EA just after 6am GMT. How could I do this?
- Errors, bugs, questions
Give an example of what you mean to do.
MathMax and MathMin find the max or min of 2 numbers
i'm looking to identify the highs and lows as the price bounces over and under the mean average. to the eye, it's easy to see where these highs and lows are, but it might be a bit tough to program such a thing. retracements (which must be ignored) and double tops (of which i'd simply want the higher of the two) are a couple of examples of problems with identifying these minima and maxima easily. after that, i'd like to use this function to identify funnels.
I know that some people use the zig zag indicator to help to identify highs and lows.
price bounces over and under the mean average
Is a mean average nastier than a normal average? Or is it just an average average? :)
/** Finds the index of the maximum local extream * i.e.\. moving up hill until you reach the top. */ int max_extreama(int window, ///<[in] Size of a local. int iEnd, ///<[in] One past last. int iBeg=0, ///<[in] Starting index. int dir=MODE_ASCEND) /**<[in] Direction of the search. */{ if(iEnd == iBeg) return iEnd; if(MODE_ASCEND == dir){ int iExtreme = iBeg++; double extreme = High[iExtreme], value; int iLimit = MathMin(iEnd, iExtreme + window); for(; iBeg < iLimit; ++iBeg){ value = High[iBeg]; if(extreme < value){ iExtreme = iBeg; extreme = value; iLimit = MathMin(iEnd, iExtreme + window); } } return iExtreme; } int iExtreme = --iEnd; double extreme = High[iExtreme], value; --window; // iEnd decremented first so window is one smaller. int iLast = MathMax(iBeg, iExtreme - window); while(iEnd > iLast){ value = High[--iEnd]; if(extreme < value){ iExtreme = iEnd; extreme = value; iLast = MathMax(iBeg, iExtreme - window); } } return iExtreme; }
thanks for the help guys
