Look back in time for condition

  Hi,

  I would like to create a simple indicator that would simply look back in time basically put a ARROW up on the day of the triggers. The case:

  Has the 20 sma crossed the 50 sma in the last X days.

  • Each day that this would be true for would have an arrow.
  • So if it crossed 3 days ago and x was 5 the indicator would draw an arrow everyday after the cross for 5 days.

  Thanks for you help.

  Gene.

  Here is the code, you can either copy & paste it or import the file. In the attached file I set the variables so that you can change them each time you launch the indicator, without having to modify the code.

  ONCE AvgCross = 0 ONCE DayCount = 0 ONCE Offset = 20 * pipsize //Distance from High/Low to display arrows ONCE FastSma = 20 ONCE SlowSma = 50 ONCE AvgType = 0 //0 = sma (see table at https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/average/) ONCE MaxDays = 5 //Display arrows for max 5 consecutive days FastAvg = average[FastSma,AvgType] SlowAvg = average[SlowSma,AvgType] IF FastAvg CROSSES OVER SlowAvg THEN AvgCross = 1 //1 = bullish crossing DayCount = 0 ELSIF FastAvg CROSSES UNDER SlowAvg THEN AvgCross = -1 //-1 = Bearish crossing DayCount = 0 ENDIF IF AvgCross = 1 THEN DayCount = DayCount + 1 //Increment counter at each new bullish candlestick DRAWARROWUP(barindex, high + Offset) COLOURED(50,205,50) IF DayCount = MaxDays THEN //Stop counting and drawing arrows after MAXDAYS have elapsed DayCount = 0 AvgCross = 0 ENDIF ELSIF AvgCross = -1 THEN DayCount = DayCount + 1 //Increment counter at each new bearish candlestick DRAWARROWDOWN(barindex, low - Offset) COLOURED(255,0,0) IF DayCount = MaxDays THEN //Stop counting and drawing arrows after MAXDAYS have elapsed DayCount = 0 AvgCross = 0 ENDIF ENDIF RETURN

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

  ONCE AvgCross = 0 ONCE DayCount = 0 ONCE Offset   = 20 * pipsize                                  //Distance from High/Low to display arrows ONCE FastSma  = 20 ONCE SlowSma  = 50 ONCE AvgType  = 0                                             //0 = sma   (see table at https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/average/) ONCE MaxDays  = 5                                             //Display arrows for max 5 consecutive days FastAvg = average[FastSma,AvgType] SlowAvg = average[SlowSma,AvgType] IF FastAvg CROSSES OVER SlowAvg THEN    AvgCross = 1                                               //1  = bullish crossing    DayCount = 0 ELSIF FastAvg CROSSES UNDER SlowAvg THEN    AvgCross = -1                                              //-1 = Bearish crossing    DayCount = 0 ENDIF IF AvgCross = 1 THEN    DayCount = DayCount + 1                                    //Increment counter at each new bullish candlestick    DRAWARROWUP(barindex, high + Offset) COLOURED(50,205,50)    IF DayCount = MaxDays THEN                                 //Stop counting and drawing arrows after MAXDAYS have elapsed       DayCount = 0       AvgCross = 0    ENDIF ELSIF AvgCross = -1 THEN    DayCount = DayCount + 1                                    //Increment counter at each new bearish candlestick    DRAWARROWDOWN(barindex, low - Offset) COLOURED(255,0,0)    IF DayCount = MaxDays THEN                                 //Stop counting and drawing arrows after MAXDAYS have elapsed       DayCount = 0       AvgCross = 0    ENDIF ENDIF RETURN

  I only tested it on EurUsd DAILY.

  p1=20 p2=50 X=5 SMA1=average[p1](Close) SMA2=average[p2](Close) IF SMA1 crosses over SMA2 or SMA1 crosses under SMA2 then Position=BARINDEX ENDIF IF Barindex-Position =< X then DRAWARROW(barindex, typicalprice) COLOURED(151,17,228,100) ENDIF Return SMA1, SMA2

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  p1=20 p2=50 X=5 SMA1=average[p1](Close) SMA2=average[p2](Close) IF SMA1 crosses over SMA2 or SMA1 crosses under SMA2 then Position=BARINDEX ENDIF IF Barindex-Position =< X then DRAWARROW(barindex, typicalprice) COLOURED(151,17,228,100) ENDIF Return SMA1, SMA2
