mathamatic coding of candle data

[Christopher Leggit]

Currently i am only calling on the bottom wick is longer than the top wick in my second condition

I want to code my condition to the bottom wick is 2x greater or more than the top wick

can someone point me in the right direction


Cheers.

if((Close[0] > Open[0]) // CURRENT CANDLE IS GREEN

&&(Open[0] - Low[0] > High[0] - Close[0]) //BOTTOM WICK IS LONGER THAN TOP WICK

Hello Christopher Leggit,

Thank you for your post.

If you are defining Open[0]-Low[0] as the bottom, and High[0]-Close[0] as the top wick, to check if the Bottom is at least 2x greater than the top you can do the following:

if ( (Open[0] - Low[0]) * 2 > High[0] - Close[0]) )
//do something

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I had tried *2 in-between but not defining the bottom wick with it's own set of brackets is where i was going wrong.

thank you Gabby.

kind regards

Christopher
