Storing specific candle high, low and pip size
-
Hi, would anyone be able to help with the above? I am wanting to store Monday daily candle high, low and pip length. I have tried doing this by using a weekday filter and rejecting Monday and accepting Tuesday onwards. And then creating 3 variables based on candle '1' for the high, low and pip length. However, I think as time moves on and we get to wednesday for example then these values would now store Tuesday values. Any helpuch appreciated!? Cheers

What if we rejected every day other than Tuesday?

Thanks Roar,
Would that not impede my ability to trade Tuesday-Friday though?I basically have the same thing as you only I'm not rejecting Wednesday-Friday and then I've for my condition blocks after the variables -
Yes, that would affect the later trading, but only if you put the condition blocks after the filters.. Why don't you just create a whole new tree for the condition blocks?

@roar Thanks, I seem to be struggling to get this to work though for some reason. What I basically want to do is to use the High or Low and the Pip size in order to be able to take a trade on the high or low and to use the pip size to work out the stop loss.
For example if I want to buy on the high I would do a buy pending order with the variable 'high' and so I would choose the attached settings but buy pending order never seems to place when i try the strategy tester, any ideas? Cheers

Further to this it looks like as the default value is zero then this Weekday filter doesn't seem to be working as if I manually change the Monday Daily High default from zero to a price on the chart I can see if buys at that price so it looks like this variable isn't doing what I want it to do ie work out the Monday Candle High value, anyone any ideas? Thanks

Can anyone provide me with any wisdom on this? It looks to me that as I have more than one weekday filter that the second block of weekday filter is negating the first block of weekday filter that I am using to store Monday high/low/pip value even though I don't have them joined up, arrrghh!

Finally figures this out - Just needed to add an and block after Modify Variables.
