For me this is complex programing.

I need some help with code.

I guess he means the average of all ticks on the 3 last candles so, for the 3 last candles :

sum of all tick values / number of ticks

[islandrock]

the price

the price... the price at close would be be fine or even the average prci to detirmine price rise or fall.

ma1=iMA(NULL,0,1,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,0);

ma2=iMA(NULL,0,1,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,3);

if (ma1>=ma2) direction=up;

else direction=dn; ?
