When the zoning criteria are met, the intention is to instruct the software draw a static zone across the screen (and right margin into infinity) for the given price range. Additional criteria will be added later to direct where to truncate the zone at a specific bar or candle.
My programmer's challenge at present is two-fold, aside from his eagerness to become more adept at understanding the concepts and nomenclature with trading:
1) He has discovered how to reliably draw zones that meet the criteria, however, they are being drawn dynamically (bar to bar) versus plotting statically when the indicator is applied, or when switching instruments on a chart loaded with the indicator. Also, the zone is not plotting off the right edge of the screen to infinity as desired.
2) The zones update as bars or candles progressively form on the chart, however, if you click on a zone manually with your mouse cursor, all zones currently drawn and updating (although I want the zones to be static) cease to update.
I'd appreciate it greatly if anyone has any guidance or resources to help further understand how to move forward towards the desired outcome. Hopefully, I've been clear enough for some advice.
Thanks in advance.
Jim
