DrawRegion() Problem

[poseidon_sthlm]

Hi!

I can't make the DrawRegion() method work properly. I provide an "as simple as possible" example that I thought would work, but doesn't, and I can't figure out why. Can you help?

namespace NinjaTrader.Indicator
{
    [Description("")]
    public class DrawRegionTest : Indicator
    {
        #region Variables
        // PARAMETERS
        double trendThreshold    = 25.0;
        
        // Helper Variables
        private int trendStartBar     = 0;
        private int trendInstance     = 0;
        private BoolSeries trend;
        #endregion

                
        #region Initialize()
        protected override void Initialize()
        {            
            trend            = new BoolSeries(this);
                        
            Add(new Plot(Color.Lime, PlotStyle.Dot, "ADX(14)"));
            Plots[0].Pen.Width          = 1;
            Plots[0].Pen.DashStyle     = DashStyle.Dot;
            
            Add(new Line(Color.Magenta, trendThreshold, "TrendThreshold"));
            Lines[0].Pen.Width         = 1;
            Lines[0].Pen.DashStyle     = DashStyle.Dot;
            
                        
            Overlay             = false;
            PriceTypeSupported     = false;
            DrawOnPricePanel     = true;
            PaintPriceMarkers    = false;
            CalculateOnBarClose = true;
        }
        #endregion
        
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            
            Values[0].Set(ADX(14)[0]);
            trend.Set(false);        // Set inital value
            
            if ( CurrentBar < 15 ) return; // ADX period + 1
                    
            // ADX(14) above trendThreshold and positive slope
            if ( Values[0][0] > trendThreshold && Slope(Values[0], 1, 0) > 0.0)
            {
                trend.Set(true);
                PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Blue;
                
                // Color region between ADX(14) and trendThreshold
                if ( trend[1] == false) // First bar in the new trend
                {
                    trendStartBar = CurrentBar;
                    trendInstance += 1;
                }
                
                [COLOR=Red]DrawRegion("trendInstance" + trendInstance, CurrentBar - trendStartBar, 0, Values[0], trendThreshold, Color.LightGray, Color.Blue, 7);[/COLOR]
            }
            
            //Trouble Shooting
            
            Print("");
            Print("CurrentBar: " + CurrentBar);
            Print("Time[0]: " + Time[0]);
            Print("trend[1]: " + trend[1]);
            Print("trendStartBar: " + trendStartBar);
            Print("trendInstance: " + trendInstance);
            Print("CurrentBar - trendStartBar: " + (CurrentBar - trendStartBar));
            Print("Values[0][0]: " + Values[0][0]);
        }

                
        #region Properties
        #endregion
    }
}

Hello,

Your issue is here:

DrawOnPricePanel = true;

Therefor the region is drawing on the main price panel which is out of the visable range so you dont see the Region.

Set this to False here.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks! That did it.
