I wanted to modify this code found on earnforex so that it gives me alerts on MT4 when the following condition is encountered:
Receive an alert when 2 heiken ashi candles of the same color follow a heiken ashi candle of a different color.
I thought that with this code as a starting point Chatgpt would do this for me easily. But no, after several attempts I've cracked and come here to ask for help.
If any member has a clue as to how I can code my little indicator, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
here is the sample code:
