NBarsUp

[BuhoTrader1]

I wanted to calculate the range of the indicator NBarsUp, but I dont know how to express the low of the first bar of the series. for example

for (int i = 0; i < BarCount + 1; i++)
{
if (i == BarCount)
{
gotBars = true;
break;
}

if (!(Close[i] > Close[i + 1]))
break;

if (BarUp && !(Close[i] > Open[i]))
break;

if (HigherHigh && !(High[i] > High[i + 1]))
break;

if (HigherLow && !(Low[i] > Low[i + 1]))
break;
}
if(gotBars)
Value.Set(Low[ " FIRST BAR OF NbarsUP ] + High[0]) ;

}

Not sure if you someone can help me with that coding line, or if you know of an existing indicator that does this range calculation of N bars Up.

I appreciate your collaboration.

BuhoTrader,

One thing to be aware of :

NBarsUp :

Checks for n number of consecutive higher closes. Returns a value of 1 when the condition is true or 0 when false.

This series only returns 1 and 0, so I am not sure how you mean you want to calculate the range of this indicator. Could you clarify?

Thank you Adam for your reply. What I was thinking of doing was changing the code of this indicator a little bit. What I am trying to do is great an indicator that will detect 3 or more consecutive bull candles and then calculate the range of that series of bars, by taking the low of the first Green bar and subtract the high of the last green bar of that series, wether there is 3 or 9 consecutive bars for example.

So i changed the code of the NbarUp indicator since it does the first part of my logic. It finds 3 or more consecutive green candles.
So i changed the original code of

Value.Set(gotBars == true ? 1 : 0);

for
if(gotBars)
Value.Se((High[0] - Low[2]);
and it works fine as long as there are 3 bars, but when there are more than 3 it will only calculate the range of the last 3 green bars and I want the range of the whole consecutive green bars the NbarUp finds. So, if there are 5 consecutive bars, I want the high of the current green bar - the Low of 5 bas back(which will be the first green bar in the series of consecutive bars) . Does it make sense?

Thanks again for taking the time to look into this.

BuhoTrader,

I would probably do something like this (just as an example of consecutive green bars) :

if ( Close[0] > Open[0] )
{
counter++;
}
else
{
counter = 0;
}

if ( counter >= 3 )
{

Value.Set((High[0] - Low[counter]);

}
else
{

Value.Set(default);

}

Let me know if I am not understanding correctly. It just looks a bit easier to me than using the NBarsUp, but there are multiple ways of doing this.
