Need indicator for new idea to measure the trend

HEY EVERY ONE

YESTERDAY AN IDEA CAME TO MY MIND TO DETECT THE TREND EITHER DOWN OR UP

AND HERE IT IS

WE NEED AN INDICATOR THAT HAVE ONE PARAMETER LET'S NAME IT (( NUMBER OF CANDLES ))

LET'S SAY I MADE THE PARAMETER 100

SO THE INDICATOR WILL WORK ON THE LAST 100 CANDLES AND WILL MEASURE THE SUM OF THE ( UP MOVEMENTS ) AND THE SUM OF ( DOWN MOVEMENTS)
AND DRAW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM AS A LINE IN SEPARATE WINDOW ( LIKE THE MACD )

NOW HOW WE MEASURE THE UP AND DOWN MOVEMENT

THE UP MOVEMENT ( FOR EVERY SINGLE CANDLE ) = NUMBER OF PIPS FROM IT'S LOW TO IT'S CLOSE

THE DOWN MOVEMENT ( FOR EVERY SINGLE CANDLE ) = NUMBER OF PIPS FROM IT'S HIGH TO IT'S CLOSE


AND AS I SAY FOR EXAMPLE I MADE THE PARAMETER 100

SO THE INDICATOR WILL CALCULATE THE UP MOVEMENT FOR EVERY ONE OF THE LAST 100 CANDLE AND SUM THEM >>>> LETS SAY IT WAS 450 PIP

AND IT WILL CALCULATE THE DOWN MOVEMENT FOR EVERY ONE OF THE LAST 100 CANDLE AND SUM THEM >>>> LETS SAY IT WAS 600 PIP

AND SO THE DIFFERENCE WILL BE 450-600 = 150

SO THE INDICATOR LINE WILL BE under the zero line and it's value will be 150
and so on at every candle close the keep drawing with the new value

if the line is above the zero line this indicate up trend so we search for any trigger to go buy and vice verse with sell

waiting for coder

I think that the result will be more or less the same than a MA period 100 ...

my indicator drown in separate window not on the chart
it draw the difference between ( up & down movement ) not the average last 100 close

Yes that was well understood. What I meant is that the result (up/down through the 0 line) will certainly be the same (more or less) than the price crossing a 100 MA.

I may be wrong ...

let's try and see

Yes of course. Was not saying to stop you !

check this one
Maybe in combination with a MA(100)

The result is the SMA100 of (2*close - high - low)
The screenshot is A/U H4 squeezed as much as possible to see a lot of PA.
Note the oscillator doesn't look smooth because of the scale. It is only 14 pips peak to peak.
I coded this in java. I don't know MT4.

EDIT: I used a period of 60 bars for the screenshot instead of the 100. The blue line is the LWMA(8) of the indi to make it smoother.

Didn't check the maths but that was my point. Thank you PipMeUp.

thank you very much for your efforts

see the attached picture

i make the parameter of ( candle no ) 5 to make the manual calculation faster for me

this is the d1 chart for gbp/usd for the broker instaforex

as you see i take 14 February candle as example

when this candle close the indicator value must be equal to the difference between ( sum of up moves in previous 5 candles ) and ( sum of down moves in previous 5 candles )

and i mean by previous 5 candles the 14,13,12,11,10 February candles

and in the picture i calculate for every candle it's up and down movement and then i sum all the up movements and it equal 413.1 and then sum all the down movements and it equals 86.7 and the difference between them is 326.4

so the indicator value at the close of candle of 14 February should be +326.4 not +419.9 as the indicator give

thank you again and i am waiting for your good work solving this problem

maybe this one

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you it works very fine now and the calculation is right

there a simple issue the indicator is shifted on word with 1 candle
if you can shift it back 1 candle it would be so fine

i mean for the current indicator : the value of the indicator at ( for example ) 10 march i want it to be drown at 9 march

thank you again very much

What about the other timeframes?
Should i.e. H4 be shifted one candle to the left?

you can simply replace
IndBuff0[bar]=(up-down)/LocalPoint;

with
IndBuff0[bar+1]=(up-down)/LocalPoint;

i will try and till you
