Doji crosses

What’s wrong with this? errors
and [[Dragonfly Doji X sma(20 , close)] or [(close/open-1 >=.005) X sma(20,close)]]

and [[Dragonfly Doji X sma(20 , close)] or [(close/open-1 >=.005) X sma(20,close)]]


try this for the first part:


and [

[
[Dragonfly Doji is TRUE]

and [close x sma(20,close)]
]

Dragonfly Doji is true/false, while sma is numerical; you can't (edited from "can") compare true/false to a number.


for the second part

or [(close/open-1 >=.005) X sma(20,close)]]

the left hand side is not valid because it's a complete expression, not a recognized variable;

instead, maybe

or

[

[close/open-1 >=.005]

and [close x sma(20,close)]

] ]

Also, you might need to clarify the close/open operation; and use brackets, not parens, which are reserved for built-in functions, like sma( ).

is it

[[close/open] - 1] >= .005]

(i.e. divide the close by the open, then subtract 1 from the result)

or is it

[close/[open - 1] >= .005] ?

(i.e. subtract 1 from the open and divide the result into the close)

I know there is an order of precedence for operations, but I can never remember what it is, so the brackets help make it clear what you are asking for.
