Check a condition for a period since last trade was closed

[trader.philipps]

Here I have something for the advanced folks.

Let's assume I have a moving average. If price is above the MA I assume the price is trending up. If it is below the MA, I assume the price trending down. So far so good.

I want to check the condition now, if since the last trade was closed (eg. long trade) the price ever was closing below my MA. Any idea?

Probably I need some looping and maybe custom code. But any help I appreciate.

Hi @trader-philipps!

Here's how I would approach this. It might still have some bug, I'm too lazy to properly test anything.
Blocks:

1. Load the last closed trade
2. Save its ticket number
3. Use custom code to get the trade closing candle ID
4. Do something closed_ID times. When this process starts the first time:

• set our final condition to FALSE,
• set iteration ID to closed_ID

When the process makes an iteration, decrease iter_ID by 1.

5. Now we can just check the condition with MA indicator, using iter_ID in the Candle ID fields.
   If this condition is a success, modify variable belowcondition to TRUE
   

Hope this helps.

If you import the .mq4, you get the correct variables as well.

@roar Thanks. That is a good start. Is there a way to get the order type as well? As it influence the condition to check.

@trader-philipps I would put a "Check type (last closed)" before the condition, and copy the condition and then just flip the comparator for the case of sell order:
