An other Use of close[ ]

New comment
 
Hi to all! I have a simple question. I need in my ea to enter buy, for example, if ALL the last 3 candles are Above a moving average. 

Example: 

If ((Close[1]&&Close[2]&&Close[3])>ima(......))

Is there another method instead of out all this close&&..? 

Like Close[1+2+3]?

Manu Hanks to you
  
  1. If ((Close[1]&&Close[2]&&Close[3])>ima(......))

    Bogus. True = non-zero and false = zero so you get true && true && Close[3]>ima 

    if( 3 < 2 < 1 )
if( false < 1 )
if(     0 < 1 )
if(     true  )
    		 
    if( 3 > 2 > 1 )
if(  true > 1 )
if(     1 > 1 )
if(     false )

  2. Like Close[1+2+3]?
    Equivalent to Close[6]

  3. There are no short cuts. Try one of these: 
    if (Close[1])>iMA(…)
&&  Close[2])>iMA(…)
&&  Close[3])>ima(…)) …

    double ma=iMA(…);
if (Close[1])>ma
&&  Close[2])>ma
&&  Close[3])>ma) …

    template<typename T>
T MathMax(T a, T b, T c){ return MathMax(a, MathMax(b, c)); }
⋮
if (MathMAx(Close[1], Close[2], Close[3]) > iMA(…)) …

3. This won't catch it. Actually you need:

template<typename T>
T MathMin(T a, T b, T c){ return MathMin(a, MathMin(b, c)); }
⋮
if (MathMin(Close[1], Close[2], Close[3]) > iMA(…)) …
