bull bear candles
-
is there a way i can enter the trade for example long in the situation where a the higher part of the bull candle corsses the higher price of the previous bear candle. i did bull candle total size > crosses above bear candle total size id1 but no luck!!! i must be doing something wrong
-
-
in bear candle id 1 you have put in both sides id1 ! is that correct?
-
yes, you want the bear candle to be id1, and bull candle id0
-
your logic seems correct but it does not work. let me attach an image so you can see it more clearly.
-
my example would surely work for the buy part.
unless you test "once per bar", then you have to use older IDs - replace id1 with id2, and id0 with id1 -
yes i have once per bar on the top, i use it all the time with time filter too. you mean i should remove it?? or if i replace id's it will work with once per bar too?
-
Yes, if you use "once per bar", you should use id1, because id0 would always have only candle-open data.
-
but how can i open the trade when the bull candle crosses the bear candle? because now it is lagging and waiting 2 candles before
-
it shouldn't lag 2 candles with this setup
-
can we somehow define the price action of the canlde id0 so we can compare it with the previous bull or bear canlde??? in this way the EA will react instantly if there is a cross above or below. Now we wait the closure of id1 which is compared to id2 so the action is taken in id0 not in id1
-
i took out once per bar and put the setup you said. seems to work now
-
yeah, "once per bar" definitely is slower than every tick action.
But in my opinion, every ea that needs to work faster than once per bar is 100% bullshit
-
maybe i need to rethink my logic -
once the conditions are true, how to place orders evenly within or inside a bar, let say a bull candle of 5 pips.
-
Some more details about what you need would be appreciated. What do you mean by 'place orders evenly within a bar'?
