Ray Problem

[Richard Von]

I am using the code below to draw a ray on the price chart when a certain condition is met. The intent is for the ray to be drawn only from the latest occurrence. However, the ray is showing up only once, at a prior occurrence, in a seemingly random choice of occurrences. Can't figure this out.

if ((RSI(2,1)[2] < 20) && (RSI(2,1)[1] < RSI(2,1)[2]) && (Close[0] > Close[1]))
{
DrawRay("Tag1",8,Close[0],0,Close[0],Color.Yellow,DashStyle.Dash,3);

}


Another approach would be to draw a ray from, say, 8 bars back and end it a certain number of bars forward, but I can't figure out how to do that either. If so, I could draw multiple bars, one for each occurrence by changing the Tag1 name.

Richard, correct in your code case the ray would be drawn the last time the condition evaluated to true to get a history of ray's, please a unique tag id for each.

Unfortunately you can't plot programmatically into the future.

Thanks for the reply. I thought I had the problem is that the ray is NOT being drawn at the last occurrence. But may have a problem with the condition code. Working on it.

I appreciate the help.
