start calculate after latest moving average cross
What you need to do is first locate the last crossover of the price with the SMA(50). To do this, you can compare Close[i] with the value of iMA(...) and scroll back through the candles until you find where it changes from up to down (or vice versa).
Once you have that index, simply start adding High[] and Low[] from the candle following that crossover to the most recent closed candle.
Something like that
// Bullish: price was below MA and crossed up if(close[i-1] <= sma_values[i-1] && close[i] > sma_values[i]) // Bearish: price was aboxe MA and crossed down if(close[i-1] >= sma_values[i-1] && close[i] < sma_values[i]) return i;

this isn't a good approach because
sma_values[i]
is the current repainting value
i want to calculate sum high and lows just after latest(most recent) price crossing sma 50 but i don't know how to get that index of candle that price cross MA in most recent cross
thanks
Hello,
To calculate the sum of Highs and Lows after the most recent price crossing of the SMA50, follow these steps:
-
Identify the latest crossover: Look for the last candle where price crossed above or below the SMA50 (previous candle on one side, current candle on the other).
-
Determine the starting index: Record the index of this last crossover; this will be the starting point for summing.
-
Sum Highs and Lows: From that candle to the most recent one, add up the High and Low values of each candle.
This approach ensures you analyze price behavior immediately after the most recent SMA50 crossover, providing accurate insights for trading or statistical purposes.
Best regards,

Hi i Made that with custom Function for get index of candle that cross over happen but i have a problem in for loop for start and end in loop to show fractals from cross over and also future code for calculating high and lows
