Here's the working code... Vars: ldb (0), btd (0), //date of the bar that started the box btp (0), //top of box value btt (0), //time of bar that box started bbp (0); //box base input: Body(2), TrendPrice1(Open), TrendFilter1(Lowest(open,5)), Stp( 80), Tgt( 150), FloorAmt ( 85), TrlgStp ( 73), TypOfStp ( 2), BoxTop(high), BoxBase(low), BoxBuy(high), BoxSell(low), BoxBars(3), BoxBuffer(0), TrendPrice(close), TrendFilter(highest(close,20)), BoxATR(20), BoxMax(2), BoxMin(.5), EODBox(1) ; Condition1 = csbullengulf(body,trendprice1,trendfilter1) ; ldb = tti_longdarvasbox(BoxTop, BoxBase, BoxBuy, BoxSell, BoxBars, BoxBuffer, TrendPrice, TrendFilter, BoxATR, BoxMax, BoxMin, EODBox, btd, btt, btp, bbp); { STEP 2 OF 2: Replace "Exit Name" (leaving the quotes) with a short name for the exit. The exit name will appear on the chart above/below the trade arrows and in the trade by trade performance report. } if Condition1 and High[1] >= btp then begin Buy next bar at market ; End ; Setprofittarget( Tgt ); Switch ( TypOfStp ) Begin Case 1: Setstoploss( Stp ); Case 2: Setbreakeven ( FloorAmt ); Case 3: Setdollartrailing ( TrlgStp ); end; print( " Date=", Date:0:0, " Time=", Time:4:0, " MktPos=", MarketPosition:0:0, " Condition1=", Condition1, " ldb=", ldb:0:2, " btt=", btt:0:2, " btp=", btp:0:2 ) ;

I actually figured this out through the TS forum as you mentioned. I will post the code tonight or tomorrow FYI.

I have the S/R code in indicator and function form. Here is the code I currently have in my strategy without using the S/R levels, this is candlestick pattern only: input: Body(5), TrendPrice(Open), TrendFilter(Highest(open,5)), Stp( 80), Tgt( 150), FloorAmt ( 85), TrlgStp ( 73), TypOfStp ( 2); Condition1 = csbearengulf(body,trendprice,trendfilter) ; { STEP 2 OF 2: Replace "Exit Name" (leaving the quotes) with a short name for the exit. The exit name will appear on the chart above/below the trade arrows and in the trade by trade performance report. } if Condition1 then begin Sellshort next bar at market ; End ; Setprofittarget( Tgt ); Switch ( TypOfStp ) Begin Case 1: Setstoploss( Stp ); Case 2: Setbreakeven ( FloorAmt ); Case 3: Setdollartrailing ( TrlgStp ); end; The function I want to use looks like this: inputs: BoxTop(high), BoxBase(low), BoxBuy(high), BoxSell(low), BoxBars(3), BoxBuffer(0), TrendPrice(close), TrendFilter(highest(close,20)), TopAlert("Top"), BaseAlert("Base"), BoxATR(20), BoxMax(2), BoxMin(.5), LongBoxColor(yellow), TextColor(white), Line(1), TxtOnOff(1), EODBox(1), CurrentBoxOnly(0),DecPlaces(2); vars: ldb(0), btd(0), btt(0), btp(0), bbp(0), app(0), ratio(0), count(0), boxrange(0), onceonly(0), onceonly2(0); app=GetAppInfo(aiApplicationType); ldb=tti_longdarvasbox(BoxTop, BoxBase, BoxBuy, BoxSell, BoxBars, BoxBuffer, TrendPrice, TrendFilter, BoxATR, BoxMax, BoxMin, EODBox, btd, btt, btp, bbp); at the end of the above code, the output btt and btb are the actual top and bottom of the Darvas box (this is the indicator version). I want the strategy to enter a trade when a certain bar in the pattern makes contact with the btt/btb line. The other issue is that the candle that makes contact with the line may not necessarily be the last bar in the pattern. In a shooting or morning star, it is the 2nd of three candles that would hypothetically make contact with that line, so how do I distinguish that in my strategy?

I am an EasyLanguage Newb, but have been trading FX for some time manually. I know what I want from my EasyLanguage Strategy, and have actually written one that works the way I want with a single variable. For instance, I procured 83 candlestick formations that come in function and indicator form. I have my strategy going long in a bullish trend, and short in a bearish one. I have a breakeven stop placed and a profit target. It behaves exactly like I want it to. I want to add another point of confluence to be present to initiate a trade. I procured another piece of code that creates a Darvas Box around strong areas of support and resistance and has several outputs to include the top and bottom levels of the box. At this time, I just have the code written to buy or sell when the candle pattern forms (condition1 = CandlestickFormation). I want the ability to utilize the support or resistance area to initiate the trade when the pattern forms and either touches or breaks the support or resistance area. How do I do this in EasyLanguage speak? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
