DrawRegion for Opening Range

[kenb2004]

I'm trying to DrawRegion for Opening Range. I am using the following code:

if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= ToTime(9, 45, 01) && ToTime(Time[0]) <= ToTime(16, 15, 00)){
DrawRegion("OpenRangeRegion" + Time[0].Date.ToString(), CurrentBar - rangeEndBar, 0, RangeHigh,
RangeLow, Color.Transparent, Color.White, 2);
}

The Region draws exactly as it should with one exception. When I scroll back on the chart to the previous day it has today's region not yesterday's. I know the "tag" property is the issue, but I don't know how to fix it. Is there a simple solution?
Thanks

Try using this as the tag: "OpenRangeRegion" + Time[0].Date.ToString("d")

Thanks, I thought that was a great idea, but the result was the same. The current day is the only day that the region draws correctly. Any prior days have the same region as the current. What's interesting is that if I scroll back to a prior day on my chart and reload NinjaScript the region is redrawn correctly as the current day. And then each following day draws correctly as the "current day". But any prior days are incorrect.

Thanks again

Not sure that I understand Ken. Do you mean that there is always only one colored DrawRegion?

I'm using a DrawRegion to display an opening range. So if today's opening range on the ES was RH=1550 and RL=1545, then the today's DrawRegion would draw between 1550 and 1545. The problem is that if I scroll back on my chart to yesterday's opening range, it draws the same 1550 to 1545 DrawRegion , when yesterday's opening range was NOT 1550 to 1545.

I have RangeHigh and RangeLow plots that work fine. I have DrawText that work fine and they all reflect the individual data of each day, with the exception of the one DrawRegion for the opening range. And they all use the tag code from post #1. I hope I'm being clear enough.
Thanks

Ken, if you would like to upload the indicator, I'd be happy to look at it for you and see why it's not drawing the regions correctly. You can PM it to me if you prefer.

My first guess would be that RangeHigh and RangeLow might not be updating correctly. However, what sounds so peculiar is that when you scroll back, all regions on the chart and to the right of your scroll position are drawn correctly? I would love to figure out what is causing that...

Look in the Pivots indicator code to get around this.

// This namespace holds all indicators and is required. Do not change it.
namespace NinjaTrader.Indicator
{
/// <summary>
/// Pivot Points.
/// </summary>
[Description("Pivot Points.")]
public class Pivots : Indicator

Thank you for your input. The issue has been resolved by adding:
= new DataSeries(this, MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite);
to each of the DataSeries. This is to overide Ninja's caching up to 256 bars.
