Hi,

I need to create a logic

IF ( CLOSE BELOW YESTERDAY CLOSE )
THEN .....

IF ( BELOW TODAY'S OPEN )
THEN ...

IF ( BELOW TODAY'S 50% DAY RANGE ) // basically simple (high-low)/2
THEN ....

How to code the logic in NT?

ssg10,

I am happy to assist you.

Do you mean :

If ( Current Close < Yesterday Close )
then ....

If ( Current Close < Todays Open )
then ....

If ( Current Close < Todays 50% )
then ....

Are you trying to test for all three at the same time before you execute something, or are you executing something after testing each one?

What time-frame chart are you trying to run this on?

[ssg10]

I am trying to execute something after each one. Simple things. I just want to write a text saying that currect close is below yesterday close, etc.

The logic is correct that you explained.

I am running on intraday, such as 15 min chart.

Thanks.

Please find a basic outline of what you want below.

private double current_close=Close[1];

if ( current_close < Bars.GetDayBar(1).Close )
{

}

if ( current_close < Bars.GetDayBar(0).Open )
{

}

If ( current_close < (Bars.GetDayBar(0).High + Bars.GetDayBar(0).Low)/2 )
{

}

Do not forget to do a null reference check for GetDayBar().

Good stuff. Thanks!

By the way, for Bars.GetDayBar

This depends on time frame selection , right? (RTH, default 24/7, etc)

ssg10,

It depends on your current session since its a "virtually" created bar.

Please have a look at the following link.

Thanks.

From that link:
!!! This method should ONLY be used for accessing prior trading day data. To access current trading day data, use the CurrentDayOHL() method.


Instead of using Bars.GetDayBar(0) like you said above, don't we have to use CurrentDayOHL ?

Hi ssg10,

Yes, good point. GetDayBar() is only used for prior sessions. For the current session there is dedicated CurrentDayOHL()
