I'm wondering if there is a more elegant solution than what I've written below.  Essentially, what I'm attempting to code is a True or False condition for turning points.

I'm defining the turning point as a candle where today's close is greater than yesterday's high (C > H1) and the candle prior to that the Close was below the prior Low (C1 < L2).   

(C > H1 AND C1 < L2) OR

(C > H1 AND (C1 > L2 AND C1 < H2) AND C2 < L3) OR

(C > H1 AND (C1 > L2 AND C1 < H2) AND (C2 > L3 AND C2 < H3) AND C3 < L4) OR

(C > H1 AND (C1 > L2 AND C1 < H2) AND (C2 > L3 AND C2 < H3) AND (C3 > L4 AND C3 < H4) AND C4 < L5)

Here is a link of what I am attempting to accheive using ADBE as an example, the red arrows are the turning points.

The above coding does the job, but was just curious if there was a simpler, more elegant way to code it.

Thanks

Maybe the following?

C > H1 AND TrueInRow(C1 > L2 AND C1 < H2, 4) = SinceTrue(C1 < L2, 4)

Thanks again, Bruce, the above formula works great.  Is there a way to convert it for use in Heikin Ashi?  I tried converting it using the standard defintion of Heikin ashi without much success...

(O + H + L +C)/4 > MAX(H1, O1,C1) AND TrueInRow((O1 + H1 + L1 +C1)/4 > MIN(L2,O2,C2) AND (O1 + H1 + L1 +C1)/4 < MAX(H1,O1,C1), 4) = SinceTrue((O1 + H1 + L1 +C1)/4 < MIN(L2,O2,C2), 4)

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks

Wesley

Please try the following condition formula instead.

O + H + L + C > GREATEST(4 * H1, XAVG(O2 + H2 + L2 + C2, 3)) AND TrueInRow(O1 + H1 + L1 + C1 > LEAST(4 * L2, XAVG(O3 + H3 + L3 + C4, 3)) AND O1 + H1 + L1 + C1 < GREATEST(4 * H2, XAVG(O3 + H3 + L3 + C3, 3)), 4) = SinceTrue(O1 + H1 + L1 + C1 < LEAST(4 * L2, XAVG(O3 + H3 + L3 + C3, 3)), 4)

Hi Bruce,

Thank you so much, would it be possilbe to trouble you for a bit more assistance, please.  Could we also convert the following sell signal to Heikin-Ashi as well?

C < L1 AND TrueInRow(C1 > L2 AND C1 < H2, 35) = SinceTrue(C1 > H2, 35)

Please try the following condition formula.

O + H + L + C < LEAST(4 * L1, XAVG(O2 + H2 + L2 + C2, 3)) AND TrueInRow(O1 + H1 + L1 + C1 > LEAST(4 * L2, XAVG(O3 + H3 + L3 + C3, 3)) AND O1 + H1 + L1 + C1 < GREATEST(4 * H2, XAVG(O3 + H3 + L3 + C3, 3)), 35) = SinceTrue(O1 + H1 + L1 + C1 > GREATEST(4 * H2, XAVG(O2 + H3 + L3 + C3, 3)), 35)

Thanks so much, Bruce!

You're welcome.
