Find this type of Candles

[Uregon]

Hello, I´d like to program a strategy that triggers when this candle is forming.

How can I limit the pips between the close and the open ?

So as example when close is greater then open (but only if its less then 1 pip) , then condition xy.

I´d like to find this cross candle types.

Hello Uregon,

What you described would require using math. Your condition would be if the close is greater than open and then if (Close[0] - Open[0]) > 0 && (Close[0] - Open[0]) < (2 * TickSize) for example. That would check that its a positive amount and that the amount is less than 2 ticks.

NinjaTrader_Jesse Thank you. This is what I made:

// set 1
if (HeikenAshi81.HAClose[0] >= (HeikenAshi81.HAOpen[0] + (1 * TickSize)) )
{
CandleOutlineBrush = Brushes.Yellow;
}

and this happens:


As you can see I made a cross form candle highlighted yellow but also the big ones and thats the issue

What do I need to setup ?

Hello Uregon,

You would need to use a Print and see what the calculated values are and then compare that to the manually calculated values you made. That would let you know what part of the condition you need to adjust.

Hello Jesse, please tell me more about what to print ? Do you mean to print a text to see the output ?

[NinjaTrader_Jesse]

Hello Uregon,

In the code you provided that would be the two values you are using in the condition.

Print(HeikenAshi81.HAClose[0] + " >= " + (HeikenAshi81.HAOpen[0] + (1 * TickSize)));

That would let you see what values you are comparing to know why the condition was true.

You are the creator of this script HeikenAshi8

I hope you can help me.

I just like to filter out Doji candles in XAU/USD

So make every candle yellow where the price is maximum 0,10 greater or lower then the close price

I´m very confused with the offset settings actually.

I work with strategy builder only, can you send me a finished strategy from your side ?
