Change volume bar color based on price and volume range

[TiP2012]

Hi,

I wanted to code an indicator which changes the color of the volume bars based on criteria derived from the range / volume of each bar.

e.g.

Value2 = Volume *Range;
If Value2 = Highest(Value2,20) then BarColor = ClimaxColor;

BTW - This is taken from http://emini-watch.com/free-stuff/volume-indicator/

However when I try to program this in NT I can't get the Highest value of Volume * Range to compare to the current value as a result of a problem parsing the Value3 to the MAX() function.

EG:

double Value3 = Volume[0] * Range()[0];


if (CurrentBar < 1) // First bar?
{ // Yes.
Values[0].Set(Volume[0]); // Plot it as an "equal" volume.
return; // Done.
}
if (Value3[0] == MAX(Value3,20)[0])
Values[2].Set(Volume[0]); // Yes. Plot it as an "Churn" volume.
else
Values[0].Set(Volume[0]); // Yes. Plot it as an "equal" volume.
}
}

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

I suggest debugging your indicator as per here: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=3418

OK - Found the problem and I am almost there...

One question though, how can I create an If() statement which contains two conditions, e.g.:

if ((V2MAX == Value2[0]) && (V3MAX == Value3[0]))
Values[4].Set(Volume[0]);

Using "&&" doesn't seem to work.

Sorry for the really basic question, my programming experience is somewhat limited as you can tell although growing every day.

Thanks.

Cancel that, I see it was a problem with the plot order.

Thanks Dwalls, I found the other persons code and it is indeed the same thing.
