Has anyone built a Master Candle EA using the SB?

The master candle strategy is when you have 1 candle (A) that engulfs the next 3+ candles. Look to take trade when price goes above the high or low of the first candle (A).

Create multiple TAs, for example: High (Shift 4) > High (Shift 3), AND, High (Shift 3) > High (Shift 2), AND High (Shift 2) > High (Shift 1), AND High (Shift 4) < High (Shift 0), AND Low ((Shift 4) < Low Shift 3), etc... to reverse the conditions for low engulfing/breakout.

Of course, each additional candle back you want to check will require a copy and paste of the above code with Shift 5... Shift 6, etc. Each mass of TAs need to be separated from Buy and Sell using OR icons.

Copy and paste icons I should say, not code in SB. This is a huge time saver when you have long chains of icons having largely the same content.
