So the question I have, is how to use a custom input to use for an EMA in MQL5.
I want to use the real body in pips from only the green candles.
double greenCandle = close > open;
double openGC = greenCandle ? open : 0;
double closeGC = greenCandle ? close : 0;
double GCRBAdif = GCRBAclose - GCRBAopen;
So "GCRBAdif" is the real body of only green candles. but how would I use "GCRBAdif" to plot an EMA?
This is how it looks in pine script if it helps anyone:
//---------------------------------
// taking the open and close of only the red candles
openGC = greenCandle ? open : 0
closeGC = greenCandle ? close : 0
// calculating the exponantial moving average of the open and close from the green candles
// RGRBA = GreenCandleRealBodyAverage
GCRBAopen = ta.ema(openGC, 100)
GCRBAclose = ta.ema(closeGC, 100)
// defining the size of the real body
GCRBAdif = GCRBAclose - GCRBAopen
If someone could help, that would be great. Thanks in advance!
