Gravestone Doji

Really!!!!

 

well in that case I will stop chasing the cat around so I could give it a big kick. I'll calm down and have another look.

(High > last 5 bars ago )

 

 

can be written as:

 

High >= Highest (High, 5)

[Tams 20]

var:

gravestone(false);

gravestone = (open = low) and (open = close) and (High > last 5 bars ago ) [1] ;

If Gravestone = True

then begin

Plot1 ( Close, "Gravestone" ) ;

SetPlotColor (Red) ;

Alert ( "Gravestone" ) ;

end ;

 

 

It now verifys upto 5. Does not like it. Would I need to put in some sort of Inputs field re the no of bars back??

 

 

 

Setplotcolor sytax is incorrect.

That's why I know you have not looked up the dictionary. ;-)

 

Setplotcolor is not a necessity at this stage, but since you were looking up the dictionary, I thought I would throw that in as well. It will come in handy when you have to distinguish gravestone up from gravestone down.

var:

gravestone(false);

gravestone = (open = low) and (open = close) and (High > last );

If Gravestone = True

then begin

Plot1 (Close, "Gravestone" ) ;

SetPlotColor (Red ,1);

Alert ( "Gravestone" ) ;

end ;

 

 

Well this Verified. however did not work. got this error message:crap:

 

This analysis technique attempted to change the plot information for a a plot which does not exist.

[Tams 20]

I have highlighted the errors

 

 

var:

gravestone(false);

gravestone = (open = low) and (open = close) and (High > last );

If Gravestone = True

then begin

Plot1 (Close, "Gravestone" ) ;

SetPlotColor (Red ,1);

Alert ( "Gravestone" ) ;

end ;

Well, Praise the Lord and all the Saints and you too Tams. The darn thing only works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Shame we did not get that nice little down arrow. Still very pleased here. Had a feeling this post was going to be as long and boring as all the arguements re VSA.

 

Thanks again.

 

 

Will probably write an indicator for dragon fly Doji's next. will only take me a couple of mins.:rofl:

[Tams 20]

Good to hear it is working.

 

Your wife might divorce you because you will be spending too much time creating new filters.

 

:-)

 

you can experiment with these variations:

 

 

Plot1 (High + Range, "Gravestone" ) ;

 

or

 

Plot1 (Low - Range, "Gravestone" ) ;

 

 

 

enjoy !

For the benefit all... you should post your rendition.

[Mickey Caine 10]

Well it's not that great, but it works.

 

So here it is if anyone is interested.

 

 

var:

gravestone(false);

gravestone = (open = low) and (open = close) and (High >=Highest ( High,5 ));

If Gravestone = True

then begin

Plot1 (Close, "Gravestone" ) ;

 

Alert ( "Gravestone" ) ;

end ;

 

 

You have to alter Scaling to Sub Graph one. Also I changed it from a dot to a fat cross. Made it easier to see.

Great work. Thanks for posting it.

 

Whoever wants to further the learning can add to it.

FYI .Re the code. The update value intrabar needs to be switched off, otherwise it plots incorrectly.
