I can tell you it won't work. Don't pay a programmer for this.

He did not ask you if it will work smarty. He just asked you for the code. This may be code to add to a larger program. Maybe he is doing it free, piecewise.

OK let's go back a step. Look at the attached screenprint. This shows green candles as being up body where the close is greater than the open and red candles as being down body where the close is less than the open.

Is this how you have set up the colouring on your Tradestation ? We need to be talking about the same thing.

Does the wick come into it. What do you mean by FULL body candle. Again we need to be clear about this, because you can set up bars and candles to do almost anything you want.

Although it is not necessary, what instrument are you trading ?

When you say buy if there is a green candle, when do you want to buy and at what price - open of next bar ? Market ? Limit ? etc

Do you want to wait until the current bar is closed for the entry and exit ?

This doesn't seem to be a "real" strategy. Is it ? Or are you just after some code to see how you would go about doing this in Tradestation ?

Have you tried to write any code at all yet ? If so please supply what you wrote.

Once we have answers to these questions we might be able to help. For me it would not be until tomorrow evening as I am veri bizzi at present
