working with loops

[elmo007]

hi coders

I want to know how to loop through a set of candles .

for example I'm using highs and lows to detect a breakout . if price breaks a previous swing high i want the EA to look back from the current swing low to the high of the candle that broke the previous swing high and find a bullish engulfing patter, then draw a rectangle as a zone on that bullish engulfing

That's an ambitious loop to implement. Have you created a first version of it?

@l-andorrà I'm trying to implement with zigzag to save the swing highs and lows as variable then use that to draw the zones.. I hope will work

GReat for you, but please notice that ZigZag is a VERY trick indicator. You'll have to be patient when working with it.
