Get the support and resistance levels of a Moving Average in MQL4

New comment
 

Hello forum, good day.

How can the lowest/highest point in each of the previous wave of a Moving average be detected counting from the current bar in MQL4? In other words, it would be like getting the support and resistance levels of a Moving Average instead of getting them from the price levels of the bars/candles.

Your help will be much appreciated.

 

Best regards and thank you in advance,

something like use MA on M1 timeFrame and gets high and low

These points can be detected.

You have to walk the value of MA in the previous n candles and stored in two variables, comparing, highest value and lowest

Hello josemiguel1812, good day.

I think that the following code only gets one support and one resistance:

 

int    bars_count = 100;
double MA_Lowest  = 0,
       MA_Highest = 0;

for ( int i = 0; i < bars_count; i++ )
  {
    double MA = iMA( NULL, 0, MA_Period, 0, MA_Method, MA_Price, i );

    if ( MA_Lowest == 0 || MA < MA_Lowest ) MA_Lowest = MA;
    if ( MA_Highest == 0 || MA > MA_Highest ) MA_Highest = MA;
  }


What I need is to get the lowest and highest value of each wave (3 waves for example); would it be better to store the values inside an Array and then retrieve the highest and lowest values? Your help will be much appreciated.

 

Best regards,
