Modify NBarsDown

[wprosser]

Looking to modify NbarsDown.

Currently the value is a Bar- but i am looking to make it a support line that I can use in a strategy.

It reads:
Value.Set(gotBars == true ? 1 : 0);

I can change the return to return the first bar Open


Value.Set(gotBars == true ? High[3] : 0);

However I dont know of a way to re-code the indicator to remove the 0. AKA dont need IF true High[3], else 0. I need if true, High[3].


Is there a simple way to to do this?

I would love it to eventually look like this :

Hi wprosser,

It sounds like you want an if statement here.

if (gotBars)
Value.Set(High[3]);

Thank your very much- just figured that out.

Is there a way to extend the dot by 5 more bars? and only 5 bars?

TIA

Unfortunately not a simple change I could think of that would extend the dots by 5 bars. You would likely need to make some changes to that for loop or start over and build the expression from scratch based on what you want to see.

Cool beans. Thanks for your help.

maybe use a CrossAbove with an offsetting look back in my strategy code.....

Thanks again Ryan for your timely response
