Another 123Down question

[cpatte7372]

Hi All,

The attached efs sends a signal after the 3rd down bar. I was wondering if someone would assist me tweaking it so it sends a signal after the 3rd lower high?

Cheers guys

You did not attach the efs

Oops!

Yep, I forgot to attach the efs.

Any here it is.

This efs look to me like it signals when there have been three bars with a lower or equal high in a row. If you need 3 lower highs in a row,


if(vHighs[i] < vHighs[i+1]) {

is all you need.

I changed this too


} else if(nStateTotal == 3) {

Isn't three lower highs what the efs already uses to trigger the signal?

No,

It just signals when you have 3 lower lows in a row. Not 3 lower highs - which is what I would like.

Thx.

Alex,

This still appears to give me 3 lower lows. Also, it appears to end after the 3rd low. In the original, the efs would continue to highlight when the price went even lower than the 3rd low. So, for example even if we had 9 lower lows it would continue to highlight it in green.

Thx.

The code you posted does not deal with lows at all, just highs. Perhaps you
posted the wrong efs?

There is also a comment in the efs about it

/*
* This functions shows when there are 3 or more bars with lower highs
* It is a pure color study.

Uhmmm,

May be I should have posted the attached 123Up. Although, the 123 down basically highlights green after the 3rd down bar. Also, that is what the programmer says in his comments.

Anyway, I have posted the 123 Up. You will notice the difference.

Alex,

You're correct. That means the code isn't working because its not highlighting after 3 lower highs but just after 3 lower lows. Would you agree?

Forgot to attach the 123 Up (although you don't really need it now that we know that its the 123 down that I want)

[dloomis]

123up was not posted

No I would not. The green background appears at the third (and following) lower high as far as I can see

Alex,

Just posted it.

Did you see my last comment about possibly the 123 down being improperly programmed?
