Can someone let me know how would I implement this into my code (Im very new to this)

Question

Hey hope you are doing great!

To summarize my script it basically looks for engulfing candles and once it finds that it checks if the 13ema crosses thru the bodies of both candles. If that is true then a signal shape immediately appears on the open of the next candle.

So what I'm trying to implement is something that makes the signal shape only appear if the 50ema is at least 10 pips away from the close of the candle right before the signal appear. I will do my best to give some examples!

https://www.tradingview.com/x/fCKcHdD4/ (Buy Example) Btw the shape would be facing up and green for buys

---

Lets say the 50ema happens to be:

-Above the 13 ema for the sell signal

-Below the 13ema for the buy signal

I want it to calculate the at least 10 pips using the close of the previous candle but instead of the 50ema it uses the 200ema.

https://www.tradingview.com/x/1M3qxoHw/ (Buy Example)

---

Lets say the 50ema and the 200ema happens to be:

-Above the 13 ema for the sell signal

-Below the 13ema for the buy signal

I want it to calculate the at least 10 pips using the close of the previous candle but instead of the 50ema or the 200 ema it uses the 800ema.

https://www.tradingview.com/x/zqQaKFPj/ (Sell Example)

https://www.tradingview.com/x/hTyBGsyn/ (Buy Example)

---

If on a buy signal all ema are below the buy it doesn't call it vice versa with a sell. I already did this so don't worry about this part!

I got a hint that I need to use syminfo.pointvalue to do this but I'm very new to this so I'm not sure how to implement it in the script.

I tried reading this but even this breakdown is a bit advanced for me to understand. https://kodify.net/tradingview/info/syminfo-pointvalue/

Thank you in advance!! :)

Answer 1

A pip is dependent on how you define it.
For EUR/CAD, a pip is defined as 0.0001 (4 digits after comma)

However, TradingView displays it as 0.00001 (5 digits after comma)
That is the value found in syminfo.mintick.

That means that 1 pip equals 10 ticks on TradingView.
See my addition to your code below.
You can set the number of ticks in 1 pip in the input variable ticks_per_pip.
You can also set a threshold, expressed in pips, in the input variable pip_threshold.

Is this what you were looking for?
