High Lo

I'm trying to code this indicator to show me anytime I have a HL followed by a LH. I've attached the code below but it only appears to plot LH followed by HL. I've tried but nothing seems to work.

 

Attached is the code (not sure where I got the code from, most likely off a message board here) and a visual of what i'm looking to accomplish.... any assistance would be much appreciated.

 

// This indicator labels HH, HL, LL, LH on the chart.
//

inputs:  
LeftStrength( 3 ),
RightStrength( 3 ), 
LookBackLength( 100 );

variable:  
ID(-1), 
Offset( 0 ) , 
HighValue1(0),
HighValue2(0),
LowValue1(0),
LowValue2(0);




Offset = .15 * Average( Range, 5 ) ; 

if PivotHighVSBar( 1, High, LeftStrength, RightStrength, RightStrength + 1 ) <> -1 then 
begin 
HighValue1 = PivotHighVS(1, High, Leftstrength, RightStrength, LookBackLength );  
HighValue2 = PivotHighVS(2, High, Leftstrength, RightStrength, LookBackLength );  

if HighValue2 <> -1 and ( ( HighValue1 >= HighValue2 - Offset ) and ( HighValue1 <= HighValue2 + Offset ) ) then  
begin 
	ID = Text_New(Date[RightStrength], Time[RightStrength], High[RightStrength] + Offset, "DT");  
	Text_SetStyle(ID, 2, 1 ) ; 
	Text_SetColor(ID, black);

	Value1 = 1;
end ;  

if HighValue2 <> -1 and HighValue1 > HighValue2 and value1 = 0 then  
begin 
	ID = Text_New(Date[RightStrength], Time[RightStrength], High[RightStrength] + Offset, "HH");  
	Text_SetStyle(ID, 2, 1 ) ; 
	Text_SetColor(ID, blue);
end 
else 
if HighValue2 <> -1 and HighValue1 < HighValue2 and value1 = 0 then
begin
	ID = Text_New(Date[RightStrength], Time[Rightstrength], High[RightStrength] + Offset, "(LH)");
	Text_SetStyle(ID, 2, 1 ) ;
	Text_SetColor(ID, blue);
end ;
Value1 = 0;
end ; 

if PivotLowVSBar( 1, Low, LeftStrength, RightStrength, RightStrength + 1 ) <> -1 then 
begin 
LowValue1 = PivotLowVS(1, Low, Leftstrength, RightStrength, LookBackLength );  
LowValue2 = PivotLowVS(2, Low, Leftstrength, RightStrength, LookBackLength );  

if LowValue2 <> -1 and ( ( LowValue1 >= LowValue2 - Offset ) and ( LowValue1 <= LowValue2 + Offset ) ) then  
begin 
	ID = Text_New(Date[RightStrength], Time[RightStrength], Low[RightStrength] - Offset, "DB");  
	Text_SetStyle(ID, 2, 0 ) ; 
	Text_SetColor(ID, black);

	Value1 = 1;
end;  

if LowValue2 <> -1 and LowValue1 < LowValue2 and Value1 = 0 then  
begin  
	ID = Text_New(Date[RightStrength], Time[RightStrength], Low[RightStrength] - Offset, "LL");  
	Text_SetStyle(ID, 2, 0 ) ; 
	Text_SetColor(ID, white);
end 
else 

if LowValue2 <> -1 and LowValue1 > LowValue2 and Value1 = 0 then
begin
	ID = Text_New(Date[RightStrength], Time[RightStrength], Low[RightStrength] - Offset, "(HL)");
	Text_SetStyle(ID, 2, 0 ) ;
	Text_SetColor(ID, white);
end;
Value1 = 0;

// Experimental

if LowValue2 <> -1 and LowValue1 > LowValue2 and HighValue2 <> -1 and HighValue1 < HighValue2 and value1 = 0 then
begin
	plot1 (high, "HL LH");
	Alert("short reverse");
end;



end ;

This code was originally written by Ant,

I modified it with the bracketed text.

Both the original code and the modified code have been posted to various boards by different people.

TAMS - that must be where I got it then, thanks. Do you have any ideas on how to get this to plot the show me when I have a HL followed by LH?

 

yes it can be done.

 

if you can imagine it,

visualize it,

quantify it,

articulate it,

you can code it.
