How do I check for a double top or double bottom

[iscuba11]

In my EA, I wish to check to make sure that the current currency price is above the last 4 bars High before I enter a buy trade. How would I test for this in a MQ4 statement? Thanks in Advance!!

I did not test it, so do your own debugging to make sure it works.

About a month ago, I started saving snipets of coding. I would love to see what someone has suggested, an encylopedia of snipets. This would help us weak programmers a bunch! I would gladly share my snipets to help others. Can the administrator of this site please do this for us soon!

With Appreciation for this dynamite forum! The best of the best!

Double-bottom, Double-top alert?

Is there any available indicator out there to identify double bottom and double top patterns and alert user?

If not, I am thinking to create one, but I can't think of the algorithm

I am not sure but look at the following threads:

Double top indicator (by Alexander Gettinger)

The indicator finds single and double tops and bottoms.

In the indicator parameters are specified:

- minimum height/depth,

- the maximum distance between the tops/bottoms (for twin tops/bottoms),

- the minimum number of bars after the top/bottom.
