DrawRegion on the price action

[Blash]

Hi
I have an indicator I created, I just took the DM indicator that comes with Ninja and added
DrawRegion to it to shade between the +DI and -DI. I used the call DM(IDataSeries input, int period) to call the function/indicator when I made the indicator. Also I used DrawOnPricePanel = false so the shading
would show up in the indicator panel. I also have a version that I am trying to overlay right on
the price action itself so I have change DrawOnPricePanel = true and Overlay = true but the shading
does not show up when I place this indicator on top of price.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Here is the code for the for the one that lays on top of price.

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Green), PlotStyle.Line, "DMplusplot"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Red), PlotStyle.Line, "DMminusplot"));
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Purple, 3), "ADXplot"));
Add(new Line(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.YellowGreen), 75, "Upperline"));
Add(new Line(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkViolet), 25, "Lowerline"));
Overlay = true;
CalculateOnBarClose = false;
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
}
/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
// plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
DMplusplot.Set(DM(Period).DiPlus[0]);
DMminusplot.Set(DM(Period).DiMinus[0]);
ADXplot.Set(DM(Period)[0]);
 
/*DrawRegion("Rontag", CurrentBar, 0, DMplusplot, DMminusplot, Color.Empty, Color.Green, 2);*/
 
if (DM(Period).DiPlus[0] > DM(Period).DiMinus[0])
{
DrawRegion("Rontag" + CurrentBar, 1, 0, DMplusplot, DMminusplot, Color.Empty, Color.Green, 2);
}
else if (DM(Period).DiPlus[0] < DM(Period).DiMinus[0])
{
DrawRegion("Rontag" + CurrentBar, 1, 0, DMplusplot, DMminusplot, Color.Empty, Color.Red, 2);

Hi Blash,

DM won't calculate values similar to price, so it's likely a difference in scale. You have it set to draw on price, but the values of the indicator may not be anywhere near price levels.

Make sure the ScaleJustification for the indicator is set to either Left or Overlay through the Right Click > Indicators screen.

Oh yeah I did that it is left justified I should of said that I'm sorry. Here is a pic. Hopefully this pic along with my code and we might be able to find an answer to why there is no shading in the DM on top of price.

I think I found a bug regarding DrawRegion. In this case I have the indicator plotted on top of the price action with the left scale while the price is on the right scale. The lines of the indicator plot just fine using the left scale but the DrawRegion part of the indicator filling in between, shading, the +DI and -DI is plotted with the right scale so it is way way down at the bottom because it is plotted on the ES and it's 1300ish right now. Please see the attached pic to better understand. Remember to look at the right scale and understand where it is and why you will not see price, it's because on the ES it will be located way up and out of view.
Thanks

Thanks for the follow up, Blash. There does seem to be a difference with DrawRegion() and other draw objects. We are currently looking into this.

Unfortunately you are running into a current limitation with DrawRegion(). It is on our suggestion list, assigned ID #793. Thank you for reporting this.
