Drawline

[wcmaria]

I have the following code which I would like to draw a circle below the bar the crosses and also draw a line.

if (CrossAbove(EMA(14), EMA(145), 1))
DrawDot(CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Color.Red);
DrawLine("tag1", false, 10, 1000, 0, 1001, Color.LimeGreen, DashStyle.Solid, 1);

When I run the indicator it works when just the drawDot line is in, when I add the drawline it does not draw the dot or the line.

Is there a reason for this?

Thanks

wcmaria,

You need to place them within { } brackets for the if-statement.

if (CrossAbove.....)
{
     DrawDot(...);
     DrawLine(...);
}

Thanks for the input.

When I include the following code

if (CrossAbove (EMA(14), EMA(145), 1) )
{
DrawDot(CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Color.Red);
Print((MAEnvelope(0.5,25).LowerBand[0]));
DrawLine(CurrentBar.ToString(), false, 10, 1000, 0, 1001, Color.LimeGreen, DashStyle.Solid, 1);
}

it does not work (shows nothing on the screen), but when I hash out the print and drawline lines it prints the dot in the correct place.

It seems in my case I cannot use both the Drawdot and DrawTriangle within the same if statement. It will only work if I use one or the other.


if (CrossAbove (EMA(14), EMA(145), 1) )
{
DrawDot(CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, High[0] + TickSize, Color.Red);
//Print((MAEnvelope(0.5,25).LowerBand[0]));
DrawTriangleDown(CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Color.Red);

}

Is there a way to draw both a circle below and a several triangles at different prices above the same bar?

The reason is because you are using the exact same object name. You need to use separate names if you want two separate objects.

Try something like this:

if (CrossAbove (EMA(14), EMA(145), 1) )
{
DrawDot("MyDot" + CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, High[0] + TickSize, Color.Red);
//Print((MAEnvelope(0.5,25).LowerBand[0]));
DrawTriangleDown("MyTriangle" + CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Color.Red);

}

Thanks for the responses everyone. It worked.
