Updating Plot

[Trader_Mark]

Don't want to wear out my welcome but I have one more issue and I will stop for the week.

Moving average that has a color based on the angle. The display is updated on a change in price.

If the angle causes a down color of red and later in the bar price increases to cause a steeper angle and thus a color of green, the red line between the last bar and the current bar remains along with the now steeper line that is green (and a gray (flat color) in between).

There must be a way to erase the now incorrect color portion but I can't find any examples.

I have attached a pic showing exactly what I mean.

Hints?

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

Seeing the residual plot like you have pictured would be unexpected, I wanted to see if you have an example that demonstrates the syntax used to see this?
If you are using multiple plots potentially this could be expected if the value was not reset or set to the same value as the other plot, if you are using one plot I would not expect this.


If you could upload a sample of the syntax required along with the steps you used to see this we could further review what may be happening there.


I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks Jesse,

I have attached the indicator here. To reproduce, you need live data changing the value of the moving average/angle. If the value changes enough to change the color while a bar is still building, you will see the residual color from the old data which stays even when the next bar opens. I am using this on a 4 range chart but have seen the behavior on other charts as well. To test, use small values for angle1 and angle2, like 5 and 30.

Thanks again.

Jesse,

Still messing with this but curious if you had time to look over code for any glaring errors?

Thanks,
Mark

I haven't looked at the code but the picture seems to clearly show multiple plot problems in NT6.5 code that must have been converted to NT8. You would need to use one plot for the line and just change the plot color according to the angle.

Hello,

Thank you for providing the file.

After further review, It looks like this is one of the items I previously noted or using multiple plots. In this case, this could be expected, the plots would be a result of the logic being used.

eDanny provided the correct answer, it would be easier to create a single plot and then color only that plot based on your logic. As it is currently it looks like you have multiple plots and in some cases when one is not set, it leaves the line as you see it. A single plot would not have this problem as you would not need to ensure the plots values are exactly the same.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thank you both. I have done as Danny suggested and not only is the code working now, it is a lot cleaner!

Thanks again.
