Hi,

Wrote this coded to show the pattern shown in pic, it doesnt work.
what wrong am i doing ? pls help
used conditional wizard to create the pattern. ols check the pic as well. thank you

def IsUp = close > open;
def IsDown = close < open;
def IsDoji = IsDoji();
def avgRange = 0.05 * Average(high - low, 20);
plot PatternPlot =
IsDown[1] and
IsDown[0] and
close[1] < close[0] and
open[1] >= open[0] and
low[0] is equal to Lowest(low[0], 2);

PatternPlot.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
PatternPlot.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(6));

to help figure things out,
..i add a bubble to display variables.
..another thing is to simplify formulas. your plot has 5 conditions. put a # in front of a couple code lines and see what happens.
..after staring at many bubbles, it seems that conditions 2,3,5 are almost never true at the same time. this might not mean anything?

def Pattern1 =
IsDown[1] and
IsDown[0] and
(close[1] < close[0]);
# and
#(open[1] >= open[0]) and
#(low[0] == Lowest(low[0], 2));



a couple of things,
..i think the plot formula is working, it just isn't true very often.
..a boolean green point is on the candle, and may be covered up. so you will probably not see most of the plots.

i added a bubble to display all plot variables, 1 or 0. if they are all true, then plot a yellow bubble.
the bubble is almost never yellow.

i added a cyan triangle , to replace the green point. it is much more noticable.


test with MO on a day chart. shows 3 yellow bubbles on the chart.


Code:

def na = double.nan;
def bn = barnumber();

#def IsUp = close > open;
def IsDown = close < open;
#def IsDoji = IsDoji();
#def avgRange = 0.05 * Average(high - low, 20);
def Pattern1 =
IsDown[1] and
IsDown[0] and
(close[1] < close[0]) and
(open[1] >= open[0]) and
(low[0] == Lowest(low[0], 2));

plot PatternPlot = if pattern1 then high*1.01 else na;
patternplot.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.TRIANGLES);
#PatternPlot.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
#PatternPlot.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(6));
PatternPlot.SetDefaultColor(Color.cyan);
patternplot.setlineweight(5);
patternplot.hidebubble();


input test1 = yes;
AddChartBubble(test1, low,
(IsDown[1] + "\n" +
 IsDown[0] + "\n" +
 (close[1] < close[0]) + "\n" +
 (open[1] >= open[0]) + "\n" +
 (low[0] == Lowest(low[0], 2)) + "\n" +
 Pattern1)
, ( if pattern1 then color.yellow else color.gray), no);

Thank you so much. You are right. my conditions were wrong earlier.
