3rd candle of the day

[chicrala]

Hi, how can I identify that "this is the 3rd candle of the day" to start an action (buy for example)?

@chicrala your time frame is very important. in H1 you can check the time after 3hr start market.
buy or sell is in your strategy

this is a sample, how you can find candle time

Nice answer! I got the idea and I think that is an answer!... but, is there a way to do that using the candle id?

I am using the M15 timeframe and day here starts at 09:00 AM.

The candle ID is a dynamic value. There is no fix number ID for candles. What you can do to identify the third cnadle of the day is using a counter (variable) that adds 1 for each new candle created so far. Once the value for that variable is 3 you will have found it.

Create a variable that counts candles, reset it once each day, then check if variable == 3.

Thanks to all "helpers"! I appreciated a lot!

To get the 3rd candle I did that bellow and it worked fine! Considering I am working at M15 timeframe.

Using "Every n bars" object with Bars Count equals to 3, from 09:00 to 09:40, the first occurrency will be the 3rd candle.

... once again, thanks a lot!!
