Indicator that shows Wick size

Hey Folks!

Wondered if anyone could help me round off this last piece of a puzzle for me...

CJA was super kind enough to code this up for me and did an awesome job, I just need to get a slight adjustment to it.

The original code - Works out the percentage of wick EITHER SIDE of a candle.
If the result of the wick size is LESS then an arbitrary predetermined percentage on BOTH sides - an arrow is generated. (Configured to 5% on this - but that figure should be able to be adjusted by the individual)


What I need to be able to do is this now:
IF the candle is BULLISH - Give me a bullish arrow IF the TOP of the wick alone, is LESS then the predetermined percentage figure the user has entered.
IF the candle is BEARISH - Give me a bearish arrow IF the BOTTOM of the wick alone, is LESS then the predetermined percentage figure.

***If anyone is feeling super cocky - maybe make it so that there could be an option to make BOTH functions TRUE. *** But that is truly just a plus....


I honestly am zero at coding and am just looking for the help to complete this already sweet bit of code.
I have a great adaptation on a really good method for momentum trading that I want to apply this indicator to, and just need a hand to finalise it.

I've attached the indicator that CJA was awesome enough to code.
In it I had a damn good crack at trying to work out what was happening to see if I could make it work myself but I couldn't do it.
Boderline screwed it good before I reverted it back to my last best effort!

First off massive thanks for CJA's help in getting this far...
Secondly apologies in advance for the imposition but the communities help here is really appreciated....


Thanks alot!!!!

Man I cannot thank you enough! You are hero!

Dude PM me any time if your interested in how this works out... (Spoiler alert... It works out awesome!)

The code is insanely clean and perfect! Love your work!!!!

Hi,

great code as always but i'm having a prob with the settings, if wick of candle is > 50% or 60 % 80% etc of the candle (so more wick than body) how do I make it alert me of this, I'm not getting the expected result... or is this the wrong indi for the job.

Not fussed whether its above or below, just want to know if % of wick is greater than body

many thanks

Hi guys,
i'm working on CandleWickDisplay.mq4 and modified it for my purpose (it now show the length of candle's body)
My problem is that this indicator show values between 0<X<3 that i dont wanna see in meta window..
beside, when I modify the program to solve the issue when the distance between Open & Close goes above 3 and then comes back to 0<X<3, it shows me 3 & doesnt remove it. can someone here help me to fix these problems? Thanks

Guys, Any Idea???

mdswamp-
Looked at it but don't see what you are talking about.
Could you post up a screenshot?

as you can see in this pic, it shows me body length with length of 1 & 2 that I don't wanna show...
beside, there is a refreshing problem; just look at the last candle in live test, we see 2 values, above & under the last candle that it should show just the value that is under the candle, but when ever i refresh/reset the indi manuely, it is solved.

There are 2 problems.
First "* Poin" is not needed
(DisplayLengthLimit * Poin)

Second the naming convention is causing the problem with the objects.
"Red-" and "Green-" is used so if a candle starts out as Green/Bull then goes Red/Bear the Green object does not get deleted and updated instead a new object is created.
Simple solution - use same prefix for both Bull and Bear candles

Hey Cyber1

I modified it, I want the length of bull candle show above & the length of bear candle show under the candle, but the problem of last candle hasn't solved (the body length of last candle is 1 that should show nothing above or under the candle, but after rising the body length of the candle & then fall it to 1, 3 freezed above the candle) ...

mdswamp-

Define an up color and down color input for the first part.

Second part - immediately after you create the name of the object delete if exists and remove it from where it is now. That should do it.
name = "Aqua-" + TimeToStr(Time[i], TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES);
if (ObjectFind(name) != -1) ObjectDelete(name);

OK, ive modified it again and again, & now it works like a charm, thanks cyber1, I really appreciate it..
i changed "name = "Aqua-" + TimeToStr(Time[i], TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES);" to "name = TimeToStr(Time[i], TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES);"
& immediately use "if (ObjectFind(name) != -1) ObjectDelete(name);" after it, but defined color in "ObjectSetText" command... & ive just used color for showing bear & bull candles.

thanks again man

Doesn't work for me. Should sell right?

Hello guys!

Could someone help me with the following issue - Is it possible for Wick-O-Gram to show the previous wicks as well like the attached picture? I mean next to "Wick 3.9 -0.6" to show the previous wicks size.

Thank you!

can some one make arrow when bar cross up/down reversal

Hi I know this is an old thread but let see if I have any luck,

Could someone modify the indicator wick 0.3, it does not autorefresh and I have to constantly change timeframes for it to update
Kind regards

I had no reply previously but Im going to try again

Would it be possible to place a line on the high and low of the bar that the wick goes above below the atr of the wick0.3 indicator on the previous post?

Thanks
Kind regards

Hi,

an old thread resurrection but seems the right place to ask about wick indicators.

I'm looking for an indicator that highlights wicks that are less than x pips. I don't want to know about the long ones, just small ones.

An arrow on the chart and an alert would be something of anyone knows where this might exist (I figure most things have been coded on the MT 4 platform but I can't find it

like this pic I created

Do you have one similar as below for MT5?
