draw arrow based on another drawing object

[duck_CA]

i am trying to have a arrow drawn only if the prior condition was met (which would be a diamond plotted on chart) within 7 bars

here is the code so far

if ((EMA(22)[0] >= SMA(89)[0]) //mc is above 89
&& (Low [0]< EMA (22)[0]) //low is below mc
&& (Diff[1] <= 0) //ST macd is below 0
&& (Stochastics(5, 3, 3).K[0] <= 40) //stochs is below 40
&& (LTMACD(5,25,170,25)[0] > 0)) //LT macd above 0
DrawDiamond(Time[0].ToString(), 0, Low[1] - 3.25* TickSize, Color.Pink);



if ((Diff[0]>DiffAvg[0] && Diff[1]<DiffAvg[1]) //cross of 1 and 5 sma's [diff(yellow); diffavg(cyan)]
&& (EMA(22)[0] >= SMA(89)[0]) //mc is above 89
&& (Diff[1] <= 0) //ST macd is below 0
&& (Stochastics(5, 3, 3).K[0] <= 40) //stochs is below 40
&& (LTMACD(5,25,170,25)[0] > 0)) //LT macd is above 0
/// this is where i would like to have a condition of that diamond within the last 7 bars///
DrawArrowUp(Time[0].ToString(), 0, Low[1] - 5.25* TickSize, Color.Lime);

What's the question?

lol... sorry, i'm trying to add the condition where the font is in "orange"

You could create a variable that stores the "CurrentBar" number of the last time you called DrawDiamond()...

// Declare a variable outside of OnBarUpdate()...
private int diamondBarNumber = 0;

if (condition to draw diamond is true)
{
DrawDiamond();
diamondBarNumber = CurrentBar;
}

if (diamonBarNumber != 0 && CurrentBar - diamondBarNumber >= 7)
DrawArrowUp();
