How to store and take out data from another graph? [SOLVED]

treksis · Postby **treksis** » 31 Jul 2014

I want to make a code which sells/buys facebook shares when s&p500 drops in price.
Facebook is the 1st/main graph I look at and s&p500 is the second graph I want to refer to.

For example, if FB reaches 20bar high but s&p500 drops in price then sell FB this bar on close.

Code: Select all

condition1=check s&p500

if close > highest(close,20) and condition1 then

  sell "Sell Fb" this bar on close;

How can I make the condition1?

Also, I would like know how I can compare closing prices based on the indicator value.
I can't use adx[...] since I don't know the exact number of bars before ADX was 20 ( assuming ADX now is at 60).
For example, I want to know whether the price increased or decreased while ADX went from 20 to 60.

Perhaps something like this, but the actual implementation is dependent on what your meaning of "drop in S&P500 is". In the code below it's defined as a S&P500 bar that closes lower than the previous S&P500 bar:

Code: Select all


Variables:

  spDrop(False);  

  

spDrop = Close Data2 < Close[1] Data2;



if (Close Data1 > Highest(Close Data1, 20)) and (spDrop = true) then 

  Sell "Sell FB" this bar on close;

In pseudo-code, you could try that with something like this:

Code: Select all


Variables:

  adxBarNum(0);

  

if (ADX = 20) then

  adxBarNum = CurrentBar;

  

Print("Close price of ADX at 20 = ", Close[CurrentBar - adxBarNum]);
