Initiate with bears are bulls

[fideld003]

Hi fxDreema Community,

I would like to request your advice on how to initiate a buy order when there are two continuous bear candles and one bull candle as the initiator. It would look something like this.

What I tried to do before was to use blocks "Bears in a row" and "Bull candle" but unfortunately it did not work. I also tried to use once per bar on the "Bull Candle" block but did not work. It did not even initiate any trade on both scenarios.

@fideld003 You need to specify candle ID 2 on the 'bears in a row' block, and not 1 as it is now.

[fideld003]

@l-andorrà Oh I see, I've made it Candle ID 2 and it works fine now. That really did not occur to me. Thank you for the tip.

@l-andorrà I have another question if you don't mind ... Is there a way to specify that the two bears and the bull candle only be less than 10 pips per bar?

What I did was to add two more conditions that relate to candle body size below 10 Pips. However, I'm seeing it's still selecting bears that are higher than 10 pips.

Result of the config above:

I also tried to remove block "Bears in a row" and just use the condition on block 261 and 263 experimented for candle body size or bull candle body size but the results were worst.

Thanks,

@fideld003 You should use the last condition option (and do not remove the block 'bears in a row') but the pips value should be 'as price fraction, and not 'this value, as is', as is the case in your right operand conditions.

@l-andorrà I used "as price fraction" but it seems to be not doing any trades.

@l-andorrà, It seems that I have gotten it, but I still used "this value, as is". This is awesome, I feel that I've gained another tool to use as I've learned basics on how to control candles because of your assistance. I couldn't have done it without your help, so thankkkssss.

@fideld003 Good for you! Congratulations.

@fideld003

how do the results look of that kind of price action?

[fideld003]

@jsauter86 what do you mean? Kindly elaborate.

[TipsyWisdom]

@fideld003 Sorry, what did your test results look like?

[fideld003]

@jsauter86 Yeah, it was okay. It did what I wanted to do which is only select three candles less than 10 pips. I need to do more experiments and observations to further incorporate this into my project.
