How to define "consolidation"

[Hakim314]

I'm working with my friend on EA, but it's trending only.

How to define consolidation in programming language to switch robot to other mode ?

What parameters should I choose ?

What to consider ?

 

Thank You in advance

you could take the current bar and look x bars back

if these x bars were within a range of y pips then you could wait for a breakout of that range and the consolidation could have finished

if your looking from the other side you also only recognize the consolidation when it is already happening for a while or nearly done

So what is the solution to TEACH EA how to recognize it ?

or how to avoid it.

I was thinking about checking X bars back, but it's doesnt work good.
