Bruce,

I've tried to format this in as close as possible to description given in the Trader's Tips to show that programming this can be done in a pretty straightforward manner.

'# SegmentCount = UserInput.Integer = 5

If CurrentIndex >= AvgPeriod - 1 Then
Dim averageRange As Single = Price.AVGH(AvgPeriod) - Price.AVGL(AVGPeriod)
Dim segmentDivisor As Single = 100 / SegmentCount
Dim candleRange As Single = Price.TradeRange
Dim rangeMultiplier As Single = candleRange / averageRange
candleRange = candleRange / 100
If rangeMultiplier > 1 Then rangeMultiplier = 1
Dim HO As Single = Math.Round((Price.High - Price.Open) / _
	candleRange * rangeMultiplier / segmentDivisor)
Dim HC As Single = Math.Round((Price.High - Price.Close) / _
	candleRange * rangeMultiplier / segmentDivisor)
Dim OL As Single = Math.Round((Price.Open - Price.Low) / _
		candleRange * rangeMultiplier / segmentDivisor)
	OpenValue = HO
	HighValue = HC
	LowValue = OL
	Plot = OL
Else
	OpenValue = Single.NaN
	HighValue = Single.NaN
	LowValue = Single.NaN
	Plot = Single.NaN
End If

Note that it outputs OL twice because there isn't a data format in StockFinder which outputs just three values.

You can 1-period moving averages and set the Average of to Open to extract HO, to High to extract HC or to Low or Close to extract OL.

Bruce,

Thanks for coding the Condensed Candles. It looks good. But I would like to have the HO, HC and OL as separate indicators. When I create them with the 1-period MA, then drag them  to my new real code condition I get errors after draging the second MA to the condition.

The error is "Protected ReadOnly Property MA() as WBI CommonBlocks ScriptingLine' has multiple definitions with identicle signatures."

Is there a way I can resolve this to get my three indicators on my real code condition?

Bruce,

I created the 3 indicators and created a condition per below.

If MIH.value = 1 AndAlso MIO.value = 2 AndAlso MIH.value = 3 Then pass

But got same error:

"Protected ReadOnly Property MIH() as WBI CommonBlocks ScriptingLine' has multiple definitions with identicle signatures."

They need to have different names. So maybe something like the following instead.

'# MIHO = chart.MyIndicatorHO
'# MIOL = chart.MyIndicatorOL
'# MIHC = chart.MyIndicatorHC

Bruce,

It looks like it is working. Thanks! Now on to more testing.

Jim

You're welcome.
