nBar Back

[Ccowl1]

Hi,
Lately I have been asking a lot of questions, so I do appreacite all the fast answers very much from the NT team.

I have found a indicator that I want to change slightly. I draws a rectangle on the current bar based on the last bar's range. I'll like to draw the rectangle base on the range of the last 3 already form bars.

if publicint NBar = 1;// Default is PriorBar

and a 3 give me only the 3 bar back, how can I set this up to be

NBar = range of last three bars.?

thanks again for all your help. you guys rock!!!

Hello Ccowl1,

Thank you for the feedback and kind words. We appreciate it.

It depends here how the indicator is written and what you would like to do with 3 day range.

You can use built in indicator ATR() to get an average of true range and specify 3 bars.

You can use built in method SUM() to add up the range for the last 3 bars. If you can share more of the code that makes the calculations we can advise further.

I think I explained it wrong.

The indicator is a high/low indicator. It draws around the current bar a rectangle with the high and low of the previous candle. I'd like it to draw a rectangle around the the last 3 and the current candle( so there will be 4 bars total in the rectangle) and showing the highest high and lowest low of those 3 fully formed candles.

here is the code,

Thank you very much.

Hi CCowl,

Unfortunatley we can't assist with the changes needed here. The author overrides the plot method to draw rectangles, which is not supported. I suggest contacting the author of the indicator to see if they're able to change for you.

If you just wanted to draw a rectange around the highest high and lowest low of the last 4 bars, this can be expressed with:

DrawRectangle("myRectangle", 4, MAX(High,4)[0], 0,MIN(Low, 4)[0], Color.Blue);
