Candle size

[punkiy2111]

Hello, I am looking for an indicator that calculates the size in ticks of the body and the wicks of the previous candle or the previous candles that I define, 10-20-30... I am attaching an image. Is there something similar? thank you so much

Hello punkiy2111,

You would need to create this custom logic.

To measure the candle size in ticks, subtract the low from the high and divide by TickSize.

Print( (High[0] - Low[0]) / TickSize);

You can use a for loop to loop through previous bars.

Thanks Chelsea but I'm not a very good programmer. Could you give a brief indication if you would be so kind? Thank you very much in advance.

I'm not aware of a script that already does this.

I've moved your post to the NinjaScript File Sharing Discussion section. If this is a script you are developing yourself and are wanting assistance with the code, please let me know and I will move this back.

This thread will remain open for any community members that may know of an existing indicator with this custom behavior.

Please can someone help me? The total ticks of the green candle should be down and the total ticks of the bearish candle should be up. Thanks in advance.
