Problems with a High formula set

[olres7]

Hi!

I want to go short when the previous High[1] more than 16 Highs in a row.
I tried many times, however all the time I have a error.
Please help me to fix this issue

if( High[1] > High[2] ...High[21] )
{
EnterShortLimit(GetCurrentBid(), "Short");
Print(Time[0]+" Sell");
}

Expand the if statement so that we can see what you have written.

[olres7]

if( High[1]>High[2] &&
High[1]>High[3] &&
High[1]>High[4] &&
High[1]>High[5] &&
...
High[1]>High[21] &&
High[1] - Low[1] <1
{
EnterShortLimit(GetCurrentBid(), "Short");
Print(Time[0]+" Sell");
}

However this formula doesn't work right. It doesn't go short whenever previous high higher than 21 highs and the range between high and low less than 1 point

So what is the error?

Hello olres7,

Thank you for your post.

As sledge asked, what is the full error you receive?

I am making a program of sell short conditions.

It go short whenever previous bar high[1] higher than 21 highs in a row and difference between previous high[1] and low[1] less than 2 points

protected override void Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
SetStopLoss("", CalculationMode.Ticks, 4, false);
SetProfitTarget("", CalculationMode.Ticks, 15);

}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if(

//First Condition - Previous High[1] Higher than 21 highs
High[1]>High[2] &&
High[1]>High[3] &&
High[1]>High[4] &&
High[1]>High[5] &&
High[1]>High[6] &&
High[1]>High[7] &&
High[1]>High[8] &&
High[1]>High[9] &&
High[1]>High[10] &&
High[1]>High[11] &&
High[1]>High[12] &&
High[1]>High[13] &&
High[1]>High[14] &&
High[1]>High[15] &&
High[1]>High[16] &&
High[1]>High[17] &&
High[1]>High[18] &&
High[1]>High[19] &&
High[1]>High[20] &&
High[1]>High[21] &&

//Second Condition - Difference between previous High[1] - Low[1] <2 points
High[1] - Low[1] <2)
{
// Go short when 2 conditoins are true
EnterShortLimit(GetCurrentBid(), "Short");
Print(Time[0]+" Sell");
}

}//End OnBarUpdate

Even it complies correct however it doesn't give me correct results. It doesn't go short when the previous high higher than 21 highs and the difference between high and low lower than 2 points.

It go short on a completely wrong price

High[1] - Low[1] <2

Just to say very quickly that you need to generalise this to whatever market you trade. (2 in the ES isn't the same as 2 in EUR/USD).

Suggest you change this to:

High[1] - Low[1] <2 * TickSize
