ZigZag--DrawText Boolean results

[tacticaltrader]

Hi,

Doing some work on the ZigZag....

Wanting to DrawText on the chart when the isOverHighDeviation and values are true...

bool isOverHighDeviation = (deviationType == DeviationType.Percent && IsPriceGreater(highSeries[1], (lastSwingPrice * (1.0 + deviationValue * 0.01))))
|| (deviationType == DeviationType.Points && IsPriceGreater(highSeries[1], lastSwingPrice + deviationValue));



// Display true/false result
if (!isOverHighDeviation)
{
DrawText("highDeviationTag" + CurrentBar,false,"",0,High[0] + (TickSize*3),0,Color.Blue,new Font("Arial",7,FontStyle.Regular),
StringAlignment.Center,Color.Empty,Color.Empty,5);

}
else
{
DrawText("highDeviationTag" + CurrentBar,false,"H T",0,High[0] + (TickSize*3),0,Color.Blue,new Font("Arial",7,FontStyle.Regular),
StringAlignment.Center,Color.Empty,Color.Yellow,5);
}


It all works fine when I first load the indicator but doesn't continue to DrawText as the candles are land down.

I've only added the draw text code!!

Any ideas?

Thanks
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

ZigZag is mainly for identifying historical chart structures. It's values are redrawn as new bars come in, making it unsuitable for real time programmatic access. If you reload NinjaScript after some real time bars have been drawn, it will then recalculate over these now historical bars.

Hi Ryan,


Must of been a glitch I had as it seems to be working ok...

Thanks for the feedback.
