@biztet in this particular scenario i am just trying to draw some sort of visual aid (trend line) to know when and where three candles have previously shared a common price , the main strategy is still jumbled up in my brain , but the reason i want the ea to place the line on the chart to see where the three candle stuff happened cuz manually looking at all the candles and then calculating to see if the three candle thing happened or not is not too feasible

@biztet On its own its not much useful, its just a small cog in overall bigger machine but the way things are going i dont think it will be a good system , maybe its just a wishful thinking on my part but i always keep trying to find something

thanks a bunch @miro1360 and @seb-0
and sorry i wasnt able to post sooner
what both of you actually helped immensely cuz in the start i only actually needed the Ea to consider the candles where the Candle a wick is smaller then the candle b and candle b wick is smaller then candle c
but after testing what miro posted , i realized that there is a flaw in my strategy , which is that the candle a wick doesnt have to be the smallest as loong as all three wicks has at least one price in common and thats where the example posted by @seb-0 is useful cuz it does just that

@len-1 do you have a subwindow opened on the chart ? because as far as i am aware the EA can not open the subwindow (maybe there is a way but i am not aware of it) so if you want the ea to draw on a subwindow then you will need to have to open the subwindow manually and then attach the EA to the chart

@len-1 yep i did it the way roar suggested , by selecting objects via color

@seb-0 wow , i am speechless , its a bit too complex then what my brain can handle at the moment
i will try to understand what you did and then post questions

@l-andorrà same here most of the time loops dont make any sense to me

@l-andorrà i was really trying to avoid calling anyone on this post because it seems like thats all i am doing lately , in my last few post i always call roar and miro on the post to help , didnt wanted to bother them again but it looks like thats the only option to get out of this jammed situation
@roar could you please help out

@l-andorrà yeah i think loops would be the way to go but i cant figure out how ,
i guess any price will be okay as long as that price is common among all three lower wicks

Hi everyone
i have been struggling with an idea and can't figure out how to achieve this

the idea is to check if the last three candle's lower wick has a common price ?

as you can see in the image , "candle a " has the smallest wick and is a bear candle so lets take the close of "candle a" as price of comparison , which means the EA needs to check if candle b lower wick and candle c lower wick went below the price of comparison
i did try it like this : https://fxdreema.com/shared/qvvhAwi9
but it doesnt seems to be working

any suggestions on how to achieve this ?

@ambrogio
honestly it doesnt make any sense to me

@ambrogio dang it ................i am such a goof
you are absolutely right , i missed your point earlier , we have no idea what the freeze % means , it could be calculating the lot correctly
i just noticed that i can achieve what i want by using "risk % of equity based on the sl "

@ambrogio
based on 2 % risk 0.89 is still wrong i think

@ambrogio sorry to keep bothering you , but tell me if this is correct :

the way i know if the lotsize is correct or not is this , when the ea places the sl then i move the cursor on the sl and it shows how much money would i loose if the sl is hit , let say it tells me that i would loose 2000$ then i do this on calculator [(the amount i would loose/ total equity)*100] and it shows the percentage , if the percentage is at 2% then its correct otherwise its wrong

is this way of checking the lotsize correct ?

@ambrogio how would you set the lot size at 2 percent risk ? other then the freeze percent

@ambrogio nope the lot size is still the same , only thing that changed was the sl , now it placed the sl at 1000 pips instead of 100 pips

@ambrogio
T100.lmax is the nasdaq

@ambrogio
what will be the rule for single digit ?

@ambrogio nope i didnt know that

i am testing something on NASDAQ and when i try and have the ea open the trade based on "freeze % of Equity" and set the value to "2" the lots size seems to be wrong
my testing account have the balance of 103000 and the lot it used was 0.92 when the sl value is 100 pips
which i think is wrong considering its less then 1 percent risk
i think the issue is with the digit after the decimal cuz most brokers have 2 digits after the decimal but my broker has 1 digit after the decimal.

so how can i avoid this issue ?
