Adding values to a move(leg)

[tkaboris]

Hi I am trying to show volume above the bars in a move. what is the recomended way to single out move that is between the reversal bars?
would it be using loop?
MOve is series of same bars, long bars or short bars.

string volumeDisplay = (VOL()[1]).ToString();
if(Close[1] < Open[1] && Close[2] > Open[2] ){
Draw.Text(this, "Tag33" + CurrentBar, true, volumeDisplay, 0, High[0] + (5 * TickSize), 0, Brushes.White, theFont, TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);
}

Hello tkaboris,

If I'm understanding correctly, if the current bar is down (close less than open) and the previous bar is up (close was greater than open), then this is reversing.
if the current bar is up (close greater than open) and the previous bar is down (close was less than open), then this is reversing.

After a 'reversal' you want each new bar where the close is less than the open to have the volume of that bar printed above the bar.

Is this correct?

Use a bool to know the trending direction.
(Adjust barsAgo by 1 if you are using Calculate.OnEachTick/IsFirstTickOfBar)

private bool trendingUp;

if (Close[0] > Open[0] && Close[1] < Open[1])
trendingUp = true;

if (Close[0] < Open[0] && Close[1] > Open[1])
trendingUp = false;

if (trendingUp == false && Close[0] < Open[0])
Draw.Text(this, "Tag33" + CurrentBar, true, volumeDisplay, 0, High[0] + (5 * TickSize), 0, Brushes.White, theFont, TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);

Hi, I would like to record volume in each leg, Leg can have 1 or 10 bars in it. I am stuck with these for loops. I was going to use for loops to keep consecutive bars together in a leg and then print total volume at the end of each leg
I attached a sample code too.

string volumeDisplay = (VOL()[1]).ToString();
            if(Close[1] < Open[1] && Close[2] > Open[2] ){
            Draw.Text(this, "Tag33" + CurrentBar, true, volumeDisplay, 0, High[0] + (5 * TickSize), 0, Brushes.White, theFont, TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);
            }
            consecutiveBullBars = 0;
            consecutiveBearBars = 0;


            for (int i = 1; i < CurrentBar; i++)
            {
                if (Close[i] > Open[i])
                {
                    consecutiveBullBars++;

                    consecutiveBearBars = 0;
                }
                else if (Close[i] < Open[i])
                {
                    consecutiveBearBars++;
                    trendingDown = true;
                    consecutiveBullBars = 0;
                }
                else
                {
                    consecutiveBullBars = 0;
                    consecutiveBearBars = 0;
                    trendingDown = false;
                    trendingUp = false;;
                }
                Print("consecutiveBullBars"+consecutiveBullBars);
            }​

Hello tkaboris,

private int legVolume;

if (Close[0] > Open[0] && Close[1] < Open[1])
{
trendingUp = true;
legVolume = 0;
}

if (trendingUp)
legVolume += Volume[0];

Print(legVolume);
