I'm trying to figure out how I can identify that a 1 previous Heiken Ashi bar has a Wick and whether it's a Red or Green Candle.
I suppose if Open[1] is less than Close[1] then it's a Green Candle, however how can I tell whether there is a Wick at the bottom of this Green Candle or not?
I thought to use: if (Low[1] < Open[1]) { WeAreWicky = true; }
And by the same thinking, if Open is really where price opened, then would the extra Green space below the Open be the Low?
If that's the case then how can I identify any wicks since it would be the new low and I would have no idea where the actual body starts? Would I have to create my script oneachtick and record the first Low then see if during the growth of the candle there was a lower low?
Whoa Lower Lows within a Candle. I need sleep. But I swear I'm making sense and there is a simpler answer.
Thanks!
