This may seem silly but I am trying to place a value of 1 when true and 0 when false. this is what I have, but it does not provide the right data. Where am I going wrong? I know the answer must be simple.

public class MyCustomIndicator : Indicator
{
#region Variables

#endregion
protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Bar, "Plot0"));
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
Overlay = false;
}
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(Open[0] - Low[0] >= (0.75))
{
Plot0.Set(1.0); // sets value to #1 if true
}
else Plot0.Set(0.0);
}
#region Properties
[Browsable(false)] // this line prevents the data series from being displayed in the indicator properties dialog, do not remove
[XmlIgnore()] // this line ensures that the indicator can be saved/recovered as part of a chart template, do not remove
public DataSeries Plot0
{
get { return Values[0]; }
}
#endregion
}

Hello,

Start over and create a new indicator, then delete everything that is in OnBarUpdate and replace it with this:

if(Open[0] - Low[0] >= (0.75))
{
Plot0.Set(1.0); // sets value to #1 if true
}
else
{
Plot0.Set(0.0);
}

It looks like you were missing an "}" after "else". This worked for me on the ES.

Vel,

First, check the LOG tab for any errors.

Then, I would take the Open[0] - Low[0] code, define a variable, and print the result to ensure the value is scaled as you think it is.

So

double somevalue = Math.Abs(Open[0] - Low[0])
Print("somevalue = " + somevalue.ToString());

let us know.
