Condition based on the size of the bar

I need to open a trade when my indicators met the specific conditions, but I need to add another condition concerning the size of the bar (shift 1).

The trade will be open if the indicators met the specific conditions and the size (open-close) of the bar (shift 1) is less/more than "x" pips (for example, 20 pips). How to do that with the tools of Molanis?

Thanks for your help.

2 ways I would do it:

1. In an MQL block in SB, use (iClose[i+1]-iOpen[i+1])>your desired price distance in 0.00000 format for non-JPY pairs if you have a 5 digit dealer and 0.000 for 3 digit JPY pairs, for example. Use < for opposite direction and entry.

2. Build an indi in TIB using iClose[i+1]-iOpen[i+1] and simply import it into SB. Here, the condition would be something like > User Defined Number 0.00200
