algorithmic trading - How to search for a candlestick pattern on multiple timeframes

Question

I have an expert advisor that draws rectangle on a specifically defined bearish pinbar followed by a bullish candle. Please see the code below. It basically shows the rectangle on the timeframe displayed on the chart.

How can I search for this candlestick pattern on timeframes within an H1 candlestick down to M2 in such a way that I can filter the pattern that has the longest bearish pinbar from all timeframes?

string prefix="PBar";
int magicnumber = 12345;

bool drawBearPinbarRectangle(int candleInt,const double top,const double bottom, ENUM_TIMEFRAMES cDuration, color rectColor)
{ 
     bool checkBarCount = true;
     int useCurrDuration = PeriodSeconds(cDuration)/PeriodSeconds();   

    const datetime starts = iTime(_Symbol,_Period,candleInt);

    const datetime ends = starts + useCurrDuration*PeriodSeconds();
    const string name=prefix+"_"+"_"+TimeToString(starts)+TimeToString(ends);
    if(!ObjectCreate(0,name,OBJ_RECTANGLE,0,starts ,top, ends, bottom))
    {
        return false;
    }


   ObjectSetInteger(0,name,OBJPROP_COLOR, rectColor);

   ObjectSetInteger(0,name,OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_DASHDOT);

   ObjectSetInteger(0,name,OBJPROP_WIDTH,1);

   ObjectSetInteger(0,name,OBJPROP_FILL, true);

    return true;
}

bool isBearPinBarType(int candleInt, ENUM_TIMEFRAMES cDuration, double maxLowerWickSize, double maxBodySize)  {

   if (iOpen(  _Symbol, cDuration, candleInt ) > iClose( _Symbol, cDuration, candleInt )) {

   double upperWick = iHigh(  _Symbol, cDuration, candleInt ) - iOpen( _Symbol, cDuration, candleInt );
   double body = iOpen(  _Symbol, cDuration, candleInt ) - iClose( _Symbol, cDuration, candleInt );
   double lowerWick = iClose(  _Symbol, cDuration, candleInt ) - iLow( _Symbol, cDuration, candleInt );

   double totalCandle = upperWick + body + lowerWick;

   if (((lowerWick > 0.0) && (lowerWick <= totalCandle*maxLowerWickSize)) && ((body > 0.0) && (body <= totalCandle*maxBodySize)))
      return true;

   return false; 

   }

   else
      return false;
}

   return false;

   else
      return false;

Answer 1

1. declare all the necessary timeframes ENUM_TIMEFRAMES tfs[];
2. fill it in OnInit() then loop over values: for(int i=ArraySize(tfs)-1;i>=0;i--){showPinbarRectOnDispTime(tfs[i]);};
3. edit the showPinbarRectOnDispTime(ENUM_TIMEFRAMES tf) function: double barOpen = iOpen(_Symbol,tf,i + 1); and so on;
4. think whether you need just to draw the pin bar rectangles or somehow consume that data without drawing.
