3bar trend

[waveslider 10]

maybe you could do a counter and have it stop plotting after 10 bars..

that or you could use an array, which would have been the proper way to do this indicator in the first place - I didn't know how to do arrays then - now I do thanks to blueray..

Thank you WaveSlider for your suggestions

 

In fact I am really bad in coding,

 

even EL is (supposed to be) easy, everything is new for me

 

So...

 

I don't know how to do arrays and also what arrays are !!! :crap:

 

A counter will stop after x bars and not exactly when the support/Resistance is reached

 

I was thinking of when the dots meets a price that stops the line

 

It should be more in your logic ;

 

A pivot starts to be interesting when it is a beginning of a wave

 

And the idea of choosing a 3 bars is pertinent

 

breaking his support/resistance supposes a reversal

 

Sometimes it takes long time

 

It should be interesting to view S/R untill it reaches price

here's a tutorial in array.

 

I have not read it in detail, but I think it has the basic info you need.

I have no excuse now !

 

So array is a loop to read values

 

Well...

 

It is definitly out of my competence

 

If someone knows how to do that he/she will be welcome

No. The array actually is is the 'list' values. An array is simply a collection of data elements of the same type. Because these elements are indexed you can use a loop to access them in sequence.

to avoid OT, I have set up a thread on Arrays:

any questions on Arrays may be posted there.

How do you all define 3 bar? Say, for example, in a down trend.

I tried other ways but the original one works better

 

// Down

if high < high[1] and low < low[1] and

high[1] < high[2] and low[1] < low[2] then begin

 

I think that plot is not the right way to do it

 

TL_New is a solution but I'm not competent to do it...
