Show only the last counting arrow

New comment
 

Hi, unfortunately I'm not a programmer and I have this indicator where it inserts an arrow each time there are 4 consecutive candles, but I would like the indicator to only display the last counting arrow. It's possible? Thank you

#property indicator_buffers 2
#property indicator_color1 DodgerBlue
#property indicator_color2 DarkOrange
#property indicator_width1 1
#property indicator_width2 1

extern int Consecutive_Bulls = 4; // How many consecutive Bulls
extern int Consecutive_Bears = 4; // How many consecutive Bears
extern int ArrowDistance = 5;

extern bool SoundAlert=false; // Do you want to Sound Alert?

double downArrow[];
double upArrow[];
int PipFactor = 1;
int Bull_count = 0;
int Bear_count = 0;

padikison: , unfortunately I'm not a programmer ... It's possible?
  1. Of course it's possible.
  2. You have only four choices: We're not going to code it for you (although it could happen if you are lucky or the problem is interesting.) We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using SRC) and the nature of your problem.
