Can someone help me understand Candle ID?

[fxbam]

I want to place a trade when it is 30+ pips in the opposite direction and target the open of the previous candle. Let us say I just had a Bullish candle close with 32 pips. Now I would like to open a Sell and my Take-Profit would be the Open of the Bullish candle.

Wouldn't I choose >Candle Open, Candle ID 1 for TP?

I've tried this numerous times and it didn't work in the tester, so I would appreciate any feedback that may explain what I'm doing wrong? https://fxdreema.com/shared/m7Gvc82Bd

it shoul work but i think ur top block need to be candle 1 or 2 you cand put a close of cand 0. cand 0 will never have a close value beacuse thats the running candle

I've tried changing the blocks to candle 1 and 2 but haven't had any luck. I also changed the construction a bit to see if that would help but haven't had any luck. https://fxdreema.com/builder I'm still trying to make sense of this but this is what was in my Mt4 journal, so it makes me wonder if this is part of my problem too.

the condition block at the top makes no sense.

find the light blue, check distance block. Check the distance high to low of C# instead.

@tipsywisdom He can still that that condition blocks, but not there certainly. Additionally, he should select 'as price fraction' option on the right operand itself.

while that may be true, hes logically just doing a distance check. Theres a block for that. Keep it simple! Nothing to troubleshoot after that,
