Plotting the difference between two Conditions met over time

[HJSInvesting]

Hello,

Can someone help me to find a way to creat a script that can:

Plot the value of the difference between

1) a Condition met and 2) the last time that Condition was also met in the past?

Here is a very simplistic example of what I would like to do.

Condition set

If Close [0] < Open [0]
&& Close [1] > Open[1]
&& Close [2] > Open[2]

Then

Plot the value of the difference between

Close[0]

And

Close[i]

... Where Close[i] is

The Value of the Close when that same condition was met last in the past. One or even several Bars Ago.

Close [i] < Open [i]
&& Close [i1] > Open[i1]
&& Close [i2] > Open[i2]


Thanks in advance

Hi HJSInvesting,

Thank you for your post.

You would want to use a FOR loop to run this calculation.

[CODE]
for ( int i = 0; i < CurrentBar; i++)
{

if(my condition statement)
{
//do something here...
//after your actions are done break the loop to stop it
break;
}
}
[CODE]

Two efficient ways I can think of offhand. There are other less efficient methods that I can think of.

1. You can use MRO().
2. You can use 2 tracking variables, and update the first one every time you get the condition, and after you make the calculation.

Thank you K,

I see how MRO() could help. I was reviewing the Syntax and I will try a few things with it.

Having said that, I see the first challenge. Under Condition, how could I enter three Conditions in the Syntax?

Following my original example:

If Close [0] < Open [0]
&& Close [1] > Open[1]
&& Close [2] > Open[2]

These three conditions should be evaluated as "True" within the MRO() to get the desired Outcome ...

Would this be valid? ... = MRO(delegate {return Close[0] < Open[0] && Close [1] > Open[1] && Close [2] > Open[2];}, 1, 20)

Thanks again in advance

That looks correct, though for readability, I would evaluate the condition as a separate line, then use it. I may even use a private property to evaluate it.
