How to code: If at least n of N conditions are met, then

New comment
 
How do I create an indicator with a set of say N conditions, and then say indicator only paints if n of those conditions are true? in mql4. 
 
You could set up a counter, whenever a condition is true the counter will increment by 1. At the end you could check if n conditions are true.

Not a professional coder so really have no idea how that is done. Is this something that I need someone to do for a small fee?

 
Yes. I think so!

    If you don't learn MQL4/5, there is no common language for us to communicate. If we tell you what you need, you can't code it. If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into your code.
