Find Last Red Candle

New comment
 

Hi,


Any one can help me with this situation as i'm new to mql4 programing.


I would line to find the last red candle as it is showing in the attached photo. I know only one way to do that. But the problem is (What if the Red candle it is not in fifth bar back??) for Ex: if it in 4 or 3 or even in 7?

This is the way I do.

if(Close[1] > Open[1] && Close[2] > Open[2] && Close[3] > Open[3] && Close[4] > Open[4] && Close[5] < Open[5])




 
use an increasing while loop to check back through the candles. Stop when the 1st read candle is found.
 

hi GUMRai,


Thank you for your response, As I told i'm new to mql4 programing and I read some article and see some video about loop BUT i'm not able to do that .

I found this code which is show the numbers of bar down or up. But i can't figure how to find the last down candle?

Any help will be appreciated. 

int n, upbar, downbar;
   double candleclose, candleopen, isitupordown;
   for(n=50; n!=0; n--)
   {
      candleclose = iClose(Symbol(), 0, n);
      candleopen = iOpen(Symbol(), 0, n);
      isitupordown = candleclose - candleopen;
      if(isitupordown>0) upbar= upbar+1;
      if(isitupordown<0) downbar= downbar+1;
   }
  
  int last_red_candle_index=1;
  while(true)
     {
     if(Open[last_red_candle_index]>Close[last_red_candle_index])
        break;
     last_red_candle_index++;
     }
  Comment("Last Red Candle Index Is "+(string)last_red_candle_index);

Study and I hope that you will understand

 

Thank you very much GUMRai,

Hi GUMRai,

I'm trying to use the code you post with (iOpen and iClose) But the application stop respond .


     int last_red_candle_index=1;
        while(true)
           {

         if(iOpen(Symbol(),0,last_red_candle_index) > iClose(Symbol(),0,last_red_candle_index));

Why have you removed the break? Without it it is an endless loop
 

Thank you for response


you mean this is the right one


 
if(iOpen(Symbol(),0,[last_red_candle_index]) > iClose(Symbol(),0,[last_red_candle_index]));
 
Sorry break;
 

Hi GUMRai

  int last_Red_candle_index=1;

      while(true)
       {
        if(iOpen(Symbol(),0,last_Red_candle_index) > iClose(Symbol(),0,last_Red_candle_index)) break;
        last_Red_candle_index++;
       }

   double Close_Above_Red_Candle_High  = iClose(Symbol(),0,1) > iHigh(Symbol(),0,last_Red_candle_index);

   if( last_Red_candle_index < 3 
       && Close_Above_Red_Candle_High 
        && Volume[0]==1)
   Alert(" Close Above Red Candle High  "+Symbol(),"    ",TimeToStr(CurTime(),TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES),"   M",Period(),"  ");


I have one problem with the above code, it keeping alert me with every candle that close above red candle until new red candle format, I try many way but i couldn't find the solution as i'm new to MQL4.

finally i limit it with this code, 

last_Red_candle_index < 3

but this not what i need

appreciate your help
