what is the best option for candle body or wick for (candle 0)?

[khalids222]

In this example I want the EA to work on the zero candle(0)(H1).
I want to make a comparison between the ten candle and one candle
If one candle is bigger than ten= buy. After two minutes, After two minutes, there will be a check on the candle again
  I want to know what is the best option for candle body or wick? What is the right choice for comparison?
So I put an option but I think it is incorrect

If the "candleS" value is supposed to be the value of the size of one candle in pips, it doesn't make sens to use it as an "applied price" in block 167, in your case you are trying to compare candle 0 with candle 0. Is that what you want ?
Otherwise i think you should find a way to load the ID of the "candleS" you are focusing on, as a value, and put this value in the "candle ID" box.
Then from what i see "NEXT_ORDER_SIZE and "LOTS" are always equal to 0 ?
but maybe i'm wrong

First of all, I thank you for your time and effort and want to make it clear
I think I couldn't deliver what I wanted properly.
But I will try to explain with pictures as well

If you look at the index for a period of ten days and for one day, you will find that it changes within seconds according to high and low.
I want to compare these prices right now(0), but I don't want to use Close,OPEN, HIGH, LOW .
I don’t know what is the best comparison option FOR APPLIED PRICE?
I put the total size of the candle, if it is bigger or equal than four PIPS As the definition of a candle .
I want to know the best way to compare the current prices is (candle body - wick - candle size anything)
After that, the comparison will go through one per minutes which will check every two minutes on the path it changed, or not .
If the path changes, it will open a reverse deal.
I hope everything is clear

What i understand is that you want your EA to open a buy position whenever :

• the value of the Force Index periodicity 1 of actual cdl > the value of the value of the Force Index periodicity 10 of actual cdl
• the size of the body(or total size) of the current candle is bigger than 4 pips or equal.

And do the opposite whenever what was above is below.
Here is what i've made : https://fxdreema.com/shared/dFVglLCBc
Note that there is not "applied price" option, i'm on mq5, it seems that this option is not relevant...

@seb-0 Thank you very much, but is it possible to apply it on mq4
  I have some questions.
What is the difference between tick volume & trade volume ? I guess this varies between the index value and the tick value

@khalids222
No problem, I honestly don't know i don't use this indicator

Tick volume = how many price updates per candle
Trade volume = how much $ were traded per candle

You'll need to look at your indicator and see what price calculation it uses. I would assume that it uses CLOSE information. To check, you can use one option at a time, run it in strategy tester, and then go back into the visual chart and see if it crossed correctly by opening the correct trade.

Thank you very much seb & roar, but can I put that on mq4 with body candle = 4
or tick volume in mq5 prefer

I'm going to do that, but I'm confused about what's the best choice for measuring a candle right now.
I want to compare two candles according to the used indicator.
Should I make a comparison between the body of the two candles, or between the wick of the two candles, or ticks?
The most important gives accurate information.

@khalids222

You shouldn't worry about tick volume. Reason is that ticks are UP and DOWN PER TICK. So a 1 pip candle can have 1000ticks and another 1pip candle can have 2000ticks.

They are both the same size but the tick volume will be different depending on what was happening.

As for Body Size and Wick to Wick Size. That depends on the strategy.

Just test both options and see which one works better or what Pros and Cons each one has.

I'm guessing your strategy will use the Body and the Closing price format.
