New help coding indicator, should be simple for you coders out there!

Hello, i've looked online for this type of indicator but cannot seem to find it anywhere. It's quite simple to code i think, hopefully one of you coders can help me out, i have no idea how to code it.

The idea is this:

1. When a candlestick closes within the top or bottom 25 % percent of the high-low range (of that 1 candle) an arrow is formed:

---> As a blue up arrow under the low of the candlestick if it closes in the top 25 %.

---> As a red down arrow over the high of the candlestick if it closes in the bottom 25 %.

Would be great if the size of the arrow can be changed.

Also it would be really awsome if the arrow can be formed WHILE the candle is beeing formed/moving, and not after the time period is over (if that makes sense). I don't know if this is possible, but it would be great if it is.

I would be incredibly gratefull if anyone can help me code this!

Regards,

Serra

Also it shouldn't be so expensive for you to post it as a job in Freelance.

I am new to the forum and did'nt know about this Freelance option. Money is tight so maybye someone will help me out here, again i think it is fairly fast and simple to code.

Is it easy (or difficult) to …?

Fernando Carreiro, 2017.08.30 21:43

This post could be considered a “rant”, but I would like to take the opportunity to relay to those that ask similar questions, the difficulty involved in answering such a simple query – “Is it is easy (or difficult) to …?”

“Easy” would imply that anyone can do it, but that is obviously not the case.
“Easy” depends on the ability, skill, knowledge and experience of the one that is tasked to do it.
That ability, skill, knowledge and experience took time to establish and it had a cost, and if you sum it all up, it can be quite high.
So, “easy” means that if you don’t know how to do it yourself (or not able to do it yourself), then you will have to “compensate” someone else to do it for you.
You will be “compensating” him or her for all the effort and cost that went into acquiring the ability, skill, knowledge and experience and NOT for the actual time spent carrying out the task.

So, even if the task is just changing one line of code; remember that you are “compensating” the person for his knowledge and skills and not for just one line of code.

The same applies to those that request for something “simple” to be done for free. It is NEVER “simple”. If it were that “simple” then you would be able to do it yourself.

So, respect the hard work and effort the coder went through to gain his skills and knowledge and “compensate” him/her for it. Wanting it for free is being totally disrespectful!

PS! In conclusion, learn to use the Freelance Jobs section and recognise and respect those more skilled, knowledgeable and experienced than you!

EDIT: Please note that I use the term "compensation" and not "payment", because there are many ways to "compensate" for work done. Sometimes a coder will be "compensated" with gained or shared knowledge instead of money, or by an exchange of ideas or other things. It is not always about the money but it is about the "compensation"!

If you think it is worth than post it as a job (15-25$), cded with sound alarm, and sell it as your product in the market.
