Hello,
I’m looking for help in order to define price zone via a rectangle draw. Let’s say that in my indicator I calculate 5 price variables
variable1=200, variable2=150,variable3=196,variable4=207,variable5=110
do you have any idea how I can, sort and group variables together based on distance threshold (so in my exemple only variable1,3,4 would be grouped together because there is less than 15 point distance between them)? The idea finally would be to draw a rectangle between 196 and 207.
thx for your ideas
To sort 5 variables you’ll have to write:
Var1=200
Var2=150
Var3=196
Var4=207
Var5=110
//
V1=max(Var1,max(Var2,max(Var3,max(Var4,max(Var5)))))
If V1=Var1 then
Var1=0
ElsIf V1=Var2 then
Var2=0
ElsIf V1=Var3 then
Var3=0
ElsIf V1=Var4 then
Var4=0
ElsIf V1=Var5 then
Var5=0
Endif
//
V2=max(Var1,max(Var2,max(Var3,max(Var4,max(Var5)))))
If V2=Var1 then
Var1=0
ElsIf V2=Var2 then
Var2=0
ElsIf V2=Var3 then
Var3=0
ElsIf V2=Var4 then
Var4=0
ElsIf V2=Var5 then
Var5=0
Endif
//
V3=max(Var1,max(Var2,max(Var3,max(Var4,max(Var5)))))
If V3=Var1 then
Var1=0
ElsIf V3=Var2 then
Var2=0
ElsIf V3=Var3 then
Var3=0
ElsIf V3=Var4 then
Var4=0
ElsIf V3=Var5 then
Var5=0
Endif
//
V4=max(Var1,max(Var2,max(Var3,max(Var4,max(Var5)))))
If V4=Var1 then
Var1=0
ElsIf V4=Var2 then
Var2=0
ElsIf V4=Var3 then
Var3=0
ElsIf V4=Var4 then
Var4=0
ElsIf V4=Var5 then
Var5=0
Endif
//
V5=max(Var1,max(Var2,max(Var3,max(Var4,max(Var5)))))
If V5=Var1 then
Var1=0
ElsIf V5=Var2 then
Var2=0
ElsIf V5=Var3 then
Var3=0
ElsIf V5=Var4 then
Var4=0
ElsIf V5=Var5 then
Var5=0
Endif
//
// V1...V5 are now sorted, in descending order
//
// should you need to have the original variables sorted, just write:
Var1=V1
Var2=V2
Var3=V3
Var4=V4
Var5=V5
Thx very much robertogozzi, that’s already very valuable!
then I guess I can do:
Var1-var2<15 then
Rect1=var1
Rect2=var2
Endif
If Var1-var3<15 then
Rect1=var1
Rect2=var3
Endif
If var1-var4<15 then
Rect1=var1
Rect2=var4
Endif
If var1-var5<15 then
Rect1=var1
Rect2=var5
Endif
And repeat that 4 more times (var2-var3<15 etc).and it should work.
problem maybe is that I have more than 50 variables, so it could become a very very long code.
So anyone has an idea in order to optimize that by first filtering all variables with price too far from the latest price? But then you add a level of complexity because you don’t know anymore how many variables do you have…
Yes, it’s very complex due to lack of arrays.
In a future major release they should be added, maybe before the end of 2020?
Anyway… your code is fine to find the boundaries of the rectangle.
You can move line 2 before line 1 and remove lines 6, 10 and 14, since the Rect1 will always be = Var1.
Also in my code lines 60 through 70 are useless, being the last variable.
