I am looking to code a specific technical setup called a 'Gartley' and due to my limited coding experience I am having trouble. The basic definition of a Gartley:

I am looking to create a strategy in which I would buy point 'D' as defined in the Gartley pattern when this pattern presented itself. Is there anywhere I can find specific technical patterns like this to code?

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Although it seems that there's no existing C# code for the Gartley 222 pattern, you might want to take a look at these old chartscripts:

ChartScript - Conway's Gartley222 fix days exit no stops (with trading)
ChartScript - Gartley 222

Try running them through WealthScript Translator or translating manually.

Thanks. Is there any place I can see a coding example of how to enter multiple conditions where some are seperated by 'OR' statements and others are seperated by 'AND'. With the 'OR' statements being nested with in some of the 'AND' statements?
Thanks for help.

I've manually translated the Conway's Gartley222 fix days exit no stops" chartscript and uploaded it to the web site. Now from the "Open Strategy" dialog of WLP6 you can simply select "Download" to get the code.
