I am trying to do this scipt of some one can help me to add line at high
Sma80>sma40
Close > sma 80
To draw line at high of this candle extended for 20 candles
Similar to down side
Sma 80< sma 40
Close < sma 80
I want to draw line at low of this candle extended maybe 20 candles
 
Solution
@halcyonguy I think 1 line from first one has condition true for 20 candles from the first bar that has condition true
Then it should happens again after 20 bars if the condition is true again
I am just using 20 bars as example i can increase it later as much 50 or 60 later if you have better suggestions would be great
I attached a couples of pic to give you idea what i am looking at i usually enter trade after second retest in general nq is moving so fast no way i will get the fill exactly i usually wait the price to retract back to moving avrage or the price at line
This line I consider it as mean if you can put profit taking at equal distance from lowest last 50 bar to that line but to upside or vice vesra
My trade today...

you say, 'this candle' but those conditions will be true for many candles.
do you want diagonal lines connecting all the bars with true conditions?
or lines from just the first one in a series?

from which bar do you want lines extended 20 bars? from the first of many that have true conditions?
from the last bar in a series that is true?

My trade today i entered short around 18120
I exite after i did my calculation at 18072

The second example i entered at 17793 and i take profit at 18058
These is 2 successful trade i had failure as well it tells me i am in wrong direction of trend
I am not really sure if it can be written as script
if you can even simplify one singal until opposite signal is true instead 20 bars
Its high return if you trading in right direction
For me this to work i need 5 moving avrages
40>80>160>320
And the opposite is true
Thanks again

sorry, i still don't understand what you are asking for.

your post 3 has many words, but most of them don't help to describe what you want.
after the first 3 sentences, nothing makes sense, nothing is of any use for guessing at what you want.
i have no idea what i am supposed to learn from looking at those pictures.

i make posts like this , not to be mean, but to try to give people feedback on their poor communication. to hopefully get them to rethink logically how to describe their issue.

think about,
where do you want to see something,
what do you want to see,
when do you want to see it,


where do you want to see something,
. chart
what do you want to see,
. horizontal lines, from high and low of a candle, extending for 20 bars
when do you want to see it,
. starting on first bar that this is true , sma80 > sma40 and Close > sma 80.
. same for opposite conditions


---------------------
i went ahead and guessed at something, based on post 1 conditions.

on the first bar that this is true,
.. sma80 > sma40 and Close > sma 80 (and for the opposite conditions)
it starts drawing a line from the high and low.
it draws 2 lines for 20 bars.
if a line is being drawn, another line will not start during it.

Thank you very much
I really appreciate taking the time to do this work
You are totally right forgive my english is very bad. It took me 1 hr to right these few words . Sometimes is very difficult to explain to my self .this script great visual aid while trading
