Custom Indicator - Strange Result

[mjc4118]

I have a custom indicator that uses the following code sample to color specific bars using this.BarColor under specific circumstances ... in 6.5 this works..in 7 the result is strange ... The CANDLE OUTLINE on all subsequent candles is set wrongly to the specified color.

The inside bar color of the bar that I want to change the color of is set correctly and the following candles inside color seems unaffected (as is correct)... It is only the outline /wick color on the subsequent candles that is effected incorrectly.

protected override void Initialize()
{

...
xcolor = Color.Lime;
mjc_xbar = new DataSeries(this);

}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

//... code snippet start

if (High[1] = High[2])
{
BarColor = xcolor;
mjc_xbar.Set(1);
}

I'm not sure why this would be version specific, but the only issue I see is that your if condition is trying to set High[1] to High[2]

It should read

if(High[1] [B]==[/B] High[2])
{
}

I hope this helps.

Thanks mrlogik, could not reproduce here mjc4118 - could you please recheck your bar coloring conditions and retest?

The problem is PAINT COLOR, not the if statement that was a mi type mjc_xbar.Set(1); is setting the OUTLINE/WICK color of ALL subsequent candles ...

I can email this indicator directly so you can see it in 6.5 and see how it PAINTS differently in 7 . It Works FINE in 6.5 I just have no interest in posting all my indicator code and It does paint differently in each version and that is strange.

mjc4118,

We would not be interested in the complete indicator logic, just a core example with no frills that demonstrates your issue. Please email us at support[at] ninjatrader[dot] com with "Attn: Josh" and reference this thread with a stripped down, simple-as-possible indicator example that we could test on our end. Thank you.

Thank you for the file. I was able to reproduce.
