Scan last 100 candles

[Vincent Goette]

Hello, I want to build a function to determine if we are currently trending or moving in a range. My idea is to compare the close price of the last 100 candles to an EMA Value of the close time. Is the close of the last candle higher or lower than the EMA value of the same sift value? Compare Close Shift 5 to EMA shift 5.... I hope you understand. The Goal is to get a percentage of how many of the last 100 candles where higher than the EMA and how many where lower. If its like 50/50 than we are in a range, if its 80/20 we are trending.  Do you have a good idea on how to do this?

You are on the MQL5 forum. You write in the main MQL5 thread. Remember that the MQL5 style implies one-time creation of the indicator handle in OnInit and receiving data (using CopyBuffer) in OnTIck.

You can make a panel and visualize the percentage of 'Close' prices and iMA values... We need to think about how to do it in the easiest and most beautiful way...

Add: Percentage of CLose and iMA prices

Excuse me? I wrote no code. “get EMA(iBar)” is not code, it describes in English what OP needs to do, not how to do it.
