PINE LIBRARY
Updated DirectionCalculations
Library "DirectionCalculations"
Direction calculation algorithms for body, bar, and breakout directions
get_body_direction()
Calculate body direction based on open vs close
Returns: Body direction: 1 (bullish), -1 (bearish), 0 (doji)
get_bar_direction()
Calculate bar direction based on close position relative to hl2
Returns: Bar direction: 1 (upper half), -1 (lower half), 0 (middle)
get_breakout_direction()
Calculate breakout direction with outside/inside bar logic
Returns: [breakout_direction, is_outside_bar, is_inside_bar, outside_dir, inside_dir]
get_combined_direction(bod_dir, bar_dir, bro_dir, bro_ob_dir)
Calculate combined direction from body and bar directions
Parameters:
bod_dir (int): Body direction
bar_dir (int): Bar direction
bro_dir (int): Breakout direction
bro_ob_dir (int): Outside bar direction
Returns: Combined direction
is_consecutive_direction(current_dir, previous_dir)
Check if directions are consecutive (no reversal)
Parameters:
current_dir (int): Current direction
previous_dir (int): Previous direction
Returns: True if consecutive (no reversal from +1 to -1 or -1 to +1)
get_all_directions()
Get all direction calculations at once
Returns: [body_dir, bar_dir, breakout_dir, is_outside_bar, is_inside_bar, outside_dir, inside_dir, combined_dir]
get_breakout_distances()
Get distance calculations for breakout analysis
Returns: [HtoH_dist, LtoL_dist] High-to-high and low-to-low distances
get_bar_patterns()
Check for specific bar patterns
Returns: [is_higher_high, is_higher_low, is_lower_low, is_lower_high]
