  Hi,

  I am trying to identify the big body candle out of last 12 candles, but the code is returning “nil or none”. Any help would be much appreciated.

  Regards,

  Big Body Candle

  DEFPARAM CalculateOnLastBars = 1000 Bullish = close > open Bearish = close < open BigBody = HIGHEST[p](abs(close-open)) //BearishBigBody = HIGHEST[p]((open-close)) // // UP trend detection //Count1 = 0 i = 0 WHILE Count1 <= p AND i < BarIndex i = i + 1 IF Count1 = 0 THEN IF Bullish[i] THEN Count1 = 1 MyHigh = BullishBigBody[i] ENDIF ENDIF WEND d1=Bullish d2=BigBody UCond= d1 and d2 d3=Bearish DCond= d2 and d3 cond=0 if Ucond then cond=1 elsif Dcond then cond=-1 endif return cond as "BigBody"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

  DEFPARAM CalculateOnLastBars = 1000 Bullish = close > open Bearish = close < open BigBody = HIGHEST[p](abs(close-open)) //BearishBigBody = HIGHEST[p]((open-close)) // // UP trend detection //Count1 = 0 i      = 0 WHILE Count1 <= p AND i < BarIndex i = i + 1 IF Count1 = 0 THEN IF Bullish[i] THEN Count1 = 1 MyHigh = BullishBigBody[i] ENDIF ENDIF WEND d1=Bullish d2=BigBody UCond= d1 and d2 d3=Bearish DCond= d2 and d3 cond=0 if Ucond then cond=1 elsif Dcond then cond=-1 endif return cond as "BigBody"

  “p” is a variable having value as 12

  Try replacing line 4 with:

  BigBody = abs(close - open) = HIGHEST[p](abs(close-open))

  1	BigBody = abs(close - open) = HIGHEST[p](abs(close-open))

  Many thanks Robert. It worked. Appreciate your fast and reliable response. Just a question, why there are 2 “=” signs in

  BigBody = abs(close – open) = HIGHEST[p](abs(close–open))

  Because it first checks that the body is the highest one within the last p bars:

  abs(close – open) = HIGHEST[p](abs(close–open))

  1	abs(close – open) = HIGHEST[p](abs(close–open))

  then the boolean value returned (true or false) is assigned to variable BigBody.

  Many thanks Robert. However, when I created the boundary (Upper Line and Lower Line) of the BigBody and then tried to identify the Bounce from those lines based on the conditions as per enclosed PRT, it is missing the correct signals and generating false or Late signals somewhere else as shown in the enclosed chart. Can you please enlighten what is wrong here.

  Hello Robert,

  Thank you for your response, however there is no “TZ” or “UTC” in the code. Where did you find them? I am again pasting the code for your reference.

  It’s your TZ.

  Mine is UTC + 1 DST (currently Utc+2), so when I see a candle in your pic at 11am, what 11am is it? it is UTC+???

  Moreover, are you with IG?

  Sorry Robert, I thought you are asking about TZ and UTC as variable in the code.

  Our time zone (TZ) is UTC+ 10

  Yes, we are using PRT (v10.3 – 1.8.0-_202) from IG

  I can’t see anything wrong with those candlesticks. If you think some of them are wrong (late or missing), please let me know, for each candle (use their time tag):

  • the value of that candle
  • the highest value calculated to compare them.

  Moreover:

  • you are mixing some computations on HA candles  (lines 38-44) and regular japanese candles (the rest of the code)
  • lines 19-25 show two dfferent conditions, but the value you assign to variables is the same for both.

  If you explain the details of waht you want to achieve I might be able to help you better.

  Hello Robert, thank you for your response. Appreciate. I am trying to do the following steps:

  1. Identify Big body bar

  2. Identify the high and low of the Big body bar to draw horizontal high line (HL) and low line (LL) on its high and low

  3. Identify whether the Big body bar is bullish or bearish

  4. Identify bounce Short opportunity: If bearish big body (B) and any heikin ashi bar (A)’s high, after the bearish big body (B), is higher than the high line (HL) (red line) and heikin ashi close (HC) of the same bar (A) is lower than high line (HL) then print OBS as -64

  5. Identify bounce Long opportunity: If bullish big body (BB) and any heikin ashi bar (AA)’s low, after the BB, is lower than the low line (LL) and heikin ashi close (HC) of the same bar (AA) is higher than low line (LL) then print OBS as 64

  Trust this help.

  The missed signal’s time stamps are as below:

  Symbol: GBPUSD mini

  Date: 30.07.2020

  Time: 11:05, 12:50, 13:55, 14:40, 15:40
