Indicators based on HIGH and LOW values

[tommiehansen]

So i would do this:

1. You do got access to this inside check() in your strategy:
this.candle.high
this.candle.low
...etc...


So...
2. Write a simple func for sma to just run the calc inline and get the sma-values

Here's a simple sma-function:

Code:

// simple sma function
// params: name-of-array, price (of something), number of points (sma lenght)
// returns: the moving average price/value
sma: function(name, price, points)
   {
       // create arr if not exist + generate array
       if( !this[name] )
              {
           let a = 0,     b = [];
           for (a; a < points; a++) { b[a] = 0; }
           this[name] = b;
       }

       let arr = this[name],
           len = arr.length;

       arr[len] = price; // add new to last in array
       arr.shift(); // remove first (old) from array (keeping max order)        
       this[name] = arr; // set/save

       // calculate current average
       let i = 0,
            total = 0;

       for( i; i < len; i++ ) { total += arr[i]; }
   
       let avg = total / len;
       return avg;
   },

Use inside the strategy you're creating.

var strat = {

 // init
 init: function(){
     // your init stuff
 },

 sma: function(){
    // the SMA-code...
  },

 check: function(){
   // get sma-values for candle.high and candle.low
   let sma_high = this.sma('sma_high', this.candle.high, 10);
   let sma_low = this.sma('sma_low', this.candle.low, 10);

   // the rest of your logic, simple sample:
   if( sma_high < sma_low ) this.advice('long')
   else this.advice('short')
 }

}

Do note that this is untested, but you should get the gist of it.....
