Programming BW fractal buys and sells

[mckeni]

I am trying to figure out how to program another of the profitunity signals - the fractal buys and sells. To do this I need (I think) to set up a loop - in block form something like this:
for n -1 to -5
if high(n) > high()
exit
else
if high(n) <high()
ct_neg = ct_neg +1
for n 1 to 5
if high(n) > high()
else
if high(n) <high()
ct_plus = ct_plus + 1
if ct_plus >=2 and ct_neg >=2 drawShapeRelative(0, high(), Shape.UPARROW, etc, etc)

Is this possible in EFS?

Below is a quick and dirty EFS snippet to get you going...

Also, check these places - EFS's for BW's Fractal already exist...:

function preMain() {

/*
// Looks into the future - great for after market to show exactly where it happened.
// But doesn't work in realtime too well.
function main() {
if(high(0) > high(-1) && high(0) > high(-2) && high(0) > high(1) && high(0) > high(2)) {
return 1;
}

// Better alternative for realtime. Will tell you about the fractal as the last bar of the fractal forms
// double check my offsets! Use @ your own risk...
function main() {
if(high(-2) > high(-3) && high(-2) > high(-4) && high(-2) > high(-1) && high(-2) > high(0)) {
return 1;
}

if(low(-2) < low(-3) && low(-2) < low(-4) && low(-2) < low(-1) && low(-2) < low(0)) {
return -1;
}

return 0;
