DrawRegion - Need to Change Color Based On Indicator

[dkrumholz]

I want to change the color of my DrawrRegion depending on the slope of one of my indictors. So if my indicator is rising I want the region to be blue but red if the indicator is falling.

I am using the (non-working) construct:

if(SmoothMidBandPlot[0]>SmoothMidBandPlot[1])
{
DrawRegion("tag1", 1, 0, OuterUpperPlot, SmoothMidBandPlot, Color.Empty, Color.RoyalBlue, 2);
}
else
{
DrawRegion("tag1", 1, 0, OuterUpperPlot, SmoothMidBandPlot, Color.Empty, Color.Salmon, 2);
}

I also tried drawing from CurrentBar to 1. How can I get the desired result?

You are not changing the tag, so recreating same drawregion of 1 bar length each time....

Try channging this ;

DrawRegion("tag1"+CurrentBar,

dkrumholz, as pmaglio has pointed out, if you keep the tag the same, it will be redrawn every time the DrawRegion() method is called. Please try changing the tag on every bar ("tag1"+CurrentBar) and see if you get the behavior you want.

Pablo - yes, thanks!! That slipped my mind.
