How to identify highs and lows

[Humble_Fx]

I want to create a robot that can buy whenever a candle closes above a high and sell whenever a candle closes below a low

please, how can i achieve this robot?

ok, how do you know where is low or hi?!!! and after that, you want to know if the close price is higher or lower.

You could try new top/bottom in trend.

@jstap those blocks are not working really.

see here

The blocks work but it depends on what you need, these blocks will move to a new high/low when found. That's why I said try, if it fits your needs then good, but if not I have no other way.

@jstap thanks, let me try it

@jstap Please, in the past candle count. what number should i put there if i want the bot to take trades as soon as the current candle closes above the top or below the low?

Use other blocks, condition candle close < or> high/low value, and save this into a variable every time a new top/bottom appears.
