Select only positive or negative bars

[sniper]

Hi,

i have look for this in the guide and forum but I didn't find nothing about this request.

I need a code to select, in the last 20 bars, the range of positive and negative bar.

There is a NT7 command to do this ?

Thanks a lot.

Hello Luca,

Thank you for your note.

You would want to use MIN and MAX to determine those values and then calculate the range.

Example of what you are looking for -

positiveValue = MAX(High, 20)[0];
negativeValue = MIN(Low, 20)[0];

range1 = postiviveValue - negativeValue;

Thanks for you code, but in this way i can see only how long the range is in last 20 bars.

I need of this ... for example:
in uptrend i can find 13 positive bars and 7 negative bars.
The question is : how long is the average range of 13 positive bars? and 7 negative bars?
I didn't find a comand or code to do this.

If you can find the Positive and Negative, I would then assign the high and low values particular to those of the Positive and Negative bars to variables that you want and run the same range calculation that I provided.

range1 = postiviveValue - negativeValue;

There is no command to to what you want. You would have to write the necessary code. The quick and dirty way would be to use a for loop, albeit there are more efficient ways.
