I need a little help in writing a realcode rule, for an intra-day chart (15 minute chart in my case)1) Price is after making a new low (15 minute low bar), a new low for today and yesterday’s trading range. Call this the “low bar”.2) I want the rule to trigger when price (15 minute bar) is crossing up through the high of “low bar”, anytime in today’s trading range.Example stocks to look at: MELI, Tuesday 10.12.2010 The first candle (9:00 – 9:15) was lowest low candle in today and yesterday’s trading range, I want the rule to trigger when price starts to cross above $62.34 (the high of the 15 minute low bar). It would have triggered between 10:45 - 11:00am.GOLD Tuesday 10.12.2010 The second 15 minute candle (9:15 – 9:30) was lowest low candle in today and yesterday’s trading range, I want the rule to trigger when price starts to cross above $101.44 (the high of the 15 minute low bar). It would have triggered a number of times in this stocks case, between 10:00 - 10:15am, 10:15 - 10:30am, and 10:30 -10:45am each time as it crossed up through $101.44.
