filter by candle price movement

[SteveReiza]

is there a way to see a chart with only candles of a certain price volume? for example, only candles with 102 ticks or more.

Hello SteveReiza,

Thank you very much for your post.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of an existing script that would filter the candles on a regular chart based on volume.

If you are interested in creating this script yourself or having a third party assist you, please don't hesitate to let me know. I would be happy to send you further information!

thank you for the reply. yes i'd like to develop a script that can do that. it would be really helpful. i know how to describe it: high greater or equal to low + 102 ticks. but, not sure where to start or go with it.

Hello SteveReiza,

Thanks for your notes.

To clarify, are you trying to detect if a bar on the chart has a certain volume?

Do you want to change the color of bars on the chart that have a certain volume?

Are you wanting to create your own custom BarsType?

If you are wanting to detect is a bar on the chart has the specific calculation you shared and change the bar color, you could consider creating a condition that checks if (High[0] >= Low[0] + 102*TickSize) and call BarBrush within that condition.

For example:

if (High[0] >= Low[0] + 102*TickSize)
{
    BarBrush = Brushes.Blue;
}

thanks for the reply. that sounds rad. i could then custom filter the trading time to see as i scroll the blue bar within the timeframe i'm thinking. appreciate the guidance.
