A simple inside bar... will be the end of me.
-
I've built multiple EA's in FXDreema and love this platform. Had a REALLY simple idea i wanted to check and thought it would take 5 minutes. 8 hours later i'm contemplating throwing myself in front of a bus.
Can you guys check my logic? All i'm really trying to do is identify an inside bar, and then set a pending buy/sell stop at the high or low of it.

This quick example just shows the basic buy logic i was using. Can i not use "candle total size" to accomplish this? I started doing a simple High[2] > High[1] and Low[2] < Low[1] but that didn't seem to work either.
Any suggestions?

@daedalus
Total size will not check any levels, so it is not very accurate method.
I think it is best to use that simple HH-LL comparison, it should work:

Thank you so much for the help! I think what i'm running up against is I just started using TickStory for 99.9% modeling and i've got some weird thing where the data i exported maybe didn't do both the fxt and hst files or something so the trades just are firing where there aren't candles shown on the chart to trade....
Yet the same EA exported to another broker MT4 the trades function perfectly and show up on the chart where IB's actually are.
Off to annoy tickstory with questions...
Roar - Truly appreciate you taking the time to make sure i'm not insane.
