Currently, what pips is the candle? I want to display this on the chart!

Hello. This is Chobi-to FX.

Well, as the title suggests,EA Createbased on the source code output by it, I made something that shows how many pips the current candlestick has moved.

It’s convenient for checking data display when you want to avoid misreading it at a glance.

In rough terms,EA Createuses the “candle structure: wick” in its condition settings.

EA Createuses the following function found in a file created under certain conditions with it.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
// Candlestick components (wicks) calculation process
//   Purpose: Calculate the components of the given candlestick
//   Arguments: currency pair, timeframe, candlestick position, candlestick components (0: upper wick, 1: body, 2: lower wick, 3: range)
//   Return: pips calculated from the specified candlestick components
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
double getCandleStickPips(string symbol, int period, int shift, int hige)
{
   int digits   = (int)MarketInfo(symbol, MODE_DIGITS);
   double open  = iOpen(symbol,period,shift);
   double close = iClose(symbol,period,shift);
   double high  = iHigh(symbol,period,shift);
   double low   = iLow(symbol,period,shift);

   // If bullish
   if (open < close) {
      if (hige == 0) {
         return (NormalizeDouble(PriceToPips(MathAbs(high - close)), digits));
      }
      else if (hige == 1) {
         return (NormalizeDouble(PriceToPips(MathAbs(close - open)), digits));
      }
      else if (hige == 2) {
         return (NormalizeDouble(PriceToPips(MathAbs(open - low)), digits));
      }
      else if (hige == 3) {
         return (NormalizeDouble(PriceToPips(MathAbs(high - low)), digits));
      }
      else {
         return (NormalizeDouble(PriceToPips(MathAbs(high - close)), digits));
      }
   }
   // If bearish
   else {
      if (hige == 0) {
         return (NormalizeDouble(PriceToPips(MathAbs(high - open)), digits));
      }
      else if (hige == 1) {
         return (NormalizeDouble(PriceToPips(MathAbs(open - close)), digits));
      }
      else if (hige == 2) {
         return (NormalizeDouble(PriceToPips(MathAbs(close - low)), digits));
      }
      else if (hige == 3) {
         return (NormalizeDouble(PriceToPips(MathAbs(high - low)), digits));
      }
      else {
         return (NormalizeDouble(PriceToPips(MathAbs(high - open)), digits));
      }
   }
   return 0;
}

Since I want to display it on the chart, insideOnTick(),Comment

void OnTick()
{
   Comment(
      "\n",
      "\n Current candlestick: ", getCandleStickPips(Symbol(), 0, 0, 3),
"\n 1 candlestick ago: ", getCandleStickPips(Symbol(), 0, 1, 3),
      "\n"
   );

}

That's it.

How about that? Pretty simple, right.

EA Create’s engine really provides wonderful functions.

See you next time.
