Why some objects not painting?

[saroj]

I wrote an indicator to mark bars for which the CCI crosses the zero line. In the image attached only 2 out of the 4 that should have painted are... Does this have to do with using a variable and not a DataSeries? or is it a question of not creating unique markers? If the later, how do I do that so the markers persist? I want all such instances to show up on the chart rolling back.

Non BoolSeries is CCIx100_1.cs
Got the BoolSeries to paint (CCIx100_2.cs), but still only on last two instances...

saroj, for this you'll need to use unique drawing tag Id's for each diamond, otherwise you just modify the previoulsy created one, thus you see only the max. number of 2 displayed.

Please check tip 2 from this link for how to achieve this - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verview28.html

good link... thanks

Here's the example they give in that link:
DrawDot(CurrentBar.ToString() + "Buy", 0, High[0] + TickSize, Color.ForestGreen).

Seems that it is missing the 2nd parameter "true" / "false".. is that not necessary or ??

Documentation rehaul

WOW... that's a big project... Huge actually... but definitely will reduce frustration on part of users and questions/answers for the support staff...

Here's a suggestion (maybe you are already doing this, but being a small company...): Assuming you have a QA process... there is likely a document (virtual hopefully) that tracks any change through that process with sign-offs by various "roles" who are involved.. the "designer" (whomever has that role in a particular change order... for small ones, this could be a programmer) has to research and indicate how the change will impact the user documentation... make links to all places that would be impacted. Then, as part of the sign-off to the change required before being released to the public, the doco can be updated by your "technical writers" (probably your support staff)... (during BETA testing)... at least they know where to go to make the changes.

I really like how you provide the doco in pdf format, but it will be out of date unless it is totally automated... if you decide to continue with that practice, you might just put in a comment to let the user know to reference the online doco until you do a complete overhaul. Frankly, creating a pdf format puts a heavy load on and has limitations for hyperlinks, etc. Unless you are IBM or MSFT, it is probably too expensive for you.
