I would like to automate a part of my strategy and start with this simple task:
1. Plot or record the highest high of a long heikin ashi candle until it changes to a short heikin ashi candle. The value for high is valid until broken by a new heikin ashi high.
Vice versa for short.
2. Upon hekin ashi color change (and completion), I would like to receive an email (or sms).
It's really a no brainer, but I have no idea how to start. I tried to play around with metatrader which has email alert support but no luck. I also tried to use ooo calc for the calculations but only got as far as connecting to metatrader's DDE feed but don't know how to save the quotes at certain time intervals (eg).
Where/how to start on this? I have practically zero coding experience.
