minSizePrevious & barSizePrevious

[massgainstradingwi]

I had coded these into one of my strategies and wanted to confirm I didnt make a mistake, I am trying to compare minimum candle size open to close for "minSizePrevious" and the maximum candle size for "barSizePrevious".

I started questioning why I did that when in another strategy I have:
&& (Math.Abs(High[0] - Low[0]) / TickSize < 80)
&& (Math.Abs(Close[0] - Open[0]) / TickSize > 8))

I don't think that I am measuring what I think I am as described above with minSizePrevious & barSizePrevious am I? What exactly do they measure and are they measuring by ticks in default? I do not have that called out anywhere.

I tried to search for an index that describes all of this and all other commands but I could not find one.

Thanks in advance.

Hello massgainstradingwi,

It looks like you have the correct math however you also have a conversion to ticks by dividing by the tick size. The High[0] - Low[0] is the total range of the bar which would be the amount of difference between high and low. The same would go for the Close - Open giving you the difference between those two prices.
