I am trying to build an EA that defines a zone and counts the number of the tests to the zone. I calculate the highest/lowest point of the last 200 bars. Use it as the upper/lower border and calculate lower/upper border with the 3*atr. The goal is to find out how many times a price zone is tested. Also the tests to the zone must be at least 10 bars apart. But somehow the code keeps giving me mixed results. Sometimes it prints a signal where it shouldn't, sometimes it doesn't print where it should and sometimes prints a signal at a level depending on the outputs even debugging shows that it should anyway.

  2. int intervalPredicate(double close, double open, double high, double low){…}


double extreme_point (int intervalPredicate, double &higharray[], double &lowarray[]){
   if (intervalPredicate == 1) {
    Do not post code that will not even compile. If it's a function, how can it be a variable?
