Drawing region

[outsource]

Hi,Support and All,

could you please provide an example on how to draw a region until conditions change.Let`s say,for a channel until upper or lower band breached?

Thank you

ok-- this now makes more sense with this post here:

There are plenty of examples in the NT7 indicator forum here.

Here's one such example:

Hi,Sledge,

i use exactly the same drawregion command as per example you`ve provided,but it doesn`t shade the bands according to the signal.It does shade for the bar[1] and bar[0] only,and not between signals


if(drawChannelArea){
DrawRegion("regionup" + CurrentBar, 1, 0, Upper, Lower, Color.Transparent, upChannelAreaFillColor, 5);
}

Hello,

There is another example on the forum called SMARegions which contains logic for signals.

http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/local_links.php?action=sendtofriend&catid=4&linkid=491

This draws a region and is based on a single condition in which sets two bools BreakOut and BreakDn.

Depending on which bool is activated, the Regions are drawn for the period of bars in which that bool remained active.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks,Jesse,

but it still not shading the area properly,but shading it sort by chunk - randomly.

Hi,Jesse,

it seems that the drawing region issue resolved,but i have another question.How would you draw arrows or text once,taking the SMARregions example?I`d like to additionally draw arrows or text,but it draws on each and every bar that shaded after xover.

Could you please provide an example on how to draw arrows or text just once,until conditions change, using SMARregions indicator?

Thanks in advance

Hello outsource,

Attached to this post is a modified SMARegions script that demonstrates how this can be done.

You will notice a new boolean variable called drawOnce. This will keep track if an event has occurred (CrossAbove or CrossBelow in this case) and will set it to true.

Once the arrow has been drawn, the boolean is reset back to false.

I would suggest comparing both the modified and original scripts to compare the changes.

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Hi Zachary,

thanks for the example,i tried the same,but it still draws arrows on every bar.Could you please look into the script(attached) and suggest an example,provided the shading logic it has?I use the same diff formula,so it probably could be the reason why it draws on every bar.

Thank you

One thing i`d like to add to the diff formula is:

if( diff >= ntt && diff <= wtt && Close[0] > Upper[1])

And have only one arrow till the opposite signal occurs.How would i do that?

Thank you

Hello outsource,

The latest script you have provided me does not have any logic that draws arrows.

Can you please clarify what you are asking for?

If you would like an arrow to be drawn once, I would suggest using a boolean that will keep track when an arrow is drawn and will change from true to false (or false to true) when the opposite signal comes so you can draw the arrow only once again.

Example:

private bool signalTracker = true;

if (/*signal logic*/ && signalTracker)
{
     DrawArrowUp(....);
     signalTracker = false;
}

if (/*signal logic*/ && !signalTracker)
{
     DrawArrowDown(....);
     signalTracker = true;
}

Hi Zachary,

thanks,i think this example did.How would you add bool now to turn arrows on/off?

Thx
