simple bar painting based on open/close positions

[paschall]

Good evening. New NinjaScript developer here. I'm trying to develop a very simple piece of code:

1. paint the bar blue if the bar open occurs in the bottom 1/3 of the range and the close occurs in the top third of the range.

2. paint the bar pink if the reverse (opens top third and clsoes bottom third).

It should be pretty simple. I'll attach the file to the post.

What am I leaving out? The compile errors state:
Indicator\RangeBars.cs Method name expected CS0149

I'm sure it's just a simple declaration I'm leaving out somewhere. Can anyone offer some assistance? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

paschall, Welcome to the forums!

Instead of:
if (Open[0] >= (Low[0]+ .66(Range)) && Close[0] <= (Low[0]+ .33(Range)))

Try this:
if (Open[0] >= (Low[0]+ .66*Range()[0]) && Close[0] <= (Low[0]+ .33*Range()[0]))

The other line will have to be tweaked just like the one above.

thank, NT_Austin!

Thanks, NT_Austin, I'll give it a try.

It seems that my MATLAB got in the way of my NinjaScript. Not at all unlike when I was in Brazil. My "Portunol" (a unique blend of spanish and portuguese spoken only by me, it seems) made it almost impossible to communicate, even though people generally FELT like they knew what I was trying to say. hahaha.

Thanks agian. I'll try it out as soon as I finish here.

cheers,
