I would like to get the HIGH of the last UP fractal and the LOW of the DOWN fractal to be used in writing a strategy. How could it be achieved?

In Visual jforex, for fractal indicator, these info are available for the last fractal (as shown in the diagram) viz.

Input values
instrument
period
shift
no. of bars on sides

Output values
maximums10
minimums10

Hi,

Do you need this High and lows starting from the moment you launch the strategy or you need to get previous values from a given range of candles ? If so how many candles needed ? What are the parameters of your fractal (will you keep the default ones ? 2,2) ?

What is the main issue that you faced in trying to achieve this in VJF ?

cheers

Thanks.
I need the high of the last up fractal and the low of the last down fractal. 2,2 candles parameters is okay.

Thinking through I think i could get the high from maxmimum10 and low from minimum 10.
Please correct me if I m wrong.

In the diagram attached previously, we have a down fractal, that occur 4 candles back, Will the LOW of that fractal still hold or it can be used only at immediate candle after 2 candles from fractal occurence.

Also, How to best provide the logic when the price cross either the high or low. Im using if logic for price crossing low of down fractal as follows:

last Ask candle: candle close < minimums10
last tick: tick bid >= minimums10




Regards,

Hi,

Here is an example of how to get the high and lows from the fractal indicator. It retrieves the values starting from the moment when the strategy is launched. Any value of the indicator that belongs to the past is not considered in this example. If you wish to include past data you need to use the shift values.

Your logic get the fractal values from the start of the strategy, If I want to get the fractal values from the last 10 candles, how to get it?

As said, you need then to play with shift values to get the previous set of data
