Hello fellow traders!

I am trying to find a indicator that can point out the size of the wig.

Like, if the wig is X % of the range then paint bar.
X should be a input.

Anyone who know how to find?

Best regards
Gibban

Gibban,

if you mean "wick" this should be fairly easy to code (I am guessing that wig is a typo, as I can't place it on anything trading related). Are you looking at the distance from High to Low and compare it to the body of a candle or only the wick part outside of the candle body? Or do you mean something completely different?

ABCTG,

Yes you are right, its a typo! I mean wick

What I mean is the size of the wick in % of the range of the candle.

Like show me indicator, paint bar if the wick is => than 20% of the total range of the bar.

Gibban

Gibban,

I lift my wig then .
This should get you going.

 

Code

Inputs: BarColor ( yellow ), WickPercentage ( 20 ); Variables: BodyRangeRelation ( 0 ), WickPercent ( 0 ); once begin WickPercent = IFF( WickPercentage >= 0 and WickPercentage <= 100, WickPercentage / 100, 1 ) ; WickPercent = 1 - WickPercent ; //we simply turn the check around, check if the body is smaller than 100 - WickPercentage end ; //compute body percantage of the candle if ( High - Low ) <> 0 then BodyRangeRelation = AbsValue( Open - Close ) / ( High - Low ) else BodyRangeRelation = 1 ; //plot paint bar if BodyRangeRelation < WickPercent then PlotPaintBar( High, Low, Open, Close, "PB", BarColor ) ;

Thanks ABCTG!

Definitely something to get me going.

If I find the Holey Grale, I send you a line
