Beginner looking to create 1st script

[frog61]

Hi

So I am a beginner, looking to create a script based on a strategy I have been working on.

I'm trying to find user guides to setup trades based on candlestick directions, moving average, stochastic and 1 other thing. But so far I am pretty confused, wondering if any kind souls out there could help me get started?

Thanks

Certainly not expecting someone to do it all for me, and I fully agree I need to learn to code.

With what specifically, one thing, I cant determine how to have a candlestick trend identified. Basically if Box#1,2 & 3 are red, then do this action, I'll keep looking at it and the links of course.
