If previous bar=bull/bull then

Hi,

I would like to add an extra criterea into my EA's buy/sell logic, currently I am using;

double signalup=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"YangTraderMain",1,1);
double signaldown=iCustom(Symbol(),0,"YangTraderMain",2,1);
&

if (signalup!=EMPTY_VALUE&&signalup!=0)
{
Order = SIGNAL_BUY;
}

if (signaldown!=EMPTY_VALUE&&signaldown!=0){
Order = SIGNAL_SELL;
}
I wish to add a filter, I would only like to buy or sell if the signal bar is either a bull/up bar (if buy) or bear/sell bar (if sell).

I really hope someone can help me out :-)

It all depends on what your definition of a Bull/Bear bar is? here is a very simple way of adding a one bar delayed Bull/Bear filter

if (signalup!=EMPTY_VALUE&&signalup!=0 && Close[1]>Close[2] )
{
Order = SIGNAL_BUY;
}

if (signaldown!=EMPTY_VALUE&&signaldow n!=0 && Close[1]<Close[2] ){
Order = SIGNAL_SELL;
}

Great, thank you!
