Plotting Lines through Zones

[zeller4]

Hello,

The attached sketch shows lines I've drawn using the following simple code:

if (!newblueline && GoodDirection[0] == 1 && GoodDirection[1] != 1) 
			{
					newblueline = true;
					newredline = false;
					barcountstart = CurrentBar;
					startline = Close[0];
			}
			if (newblueline && GoodDirection[0] != 1 && GoodDirection[1] == 1) 
			{
					barcountend = CurrentBar;
					endline = Close[0];
					//newblueline = false;
					
			}
			if (!newredline && GoodDirection[0] == -1 && GoodDirection[1] != -1) 
			{
					newredline = true;
					newblueline = false;
					barcountstart = CurrentBar;
					startline = Close[0];
			}
			if (newredline && GoodDirection[0] != -1 && GoodDirection[1] == -1) 
			{
					barcountend = CurrentBar;
					endline = Close[0];
					//newredline = false;
					
			}
			
			if (newblueline) DrawLine("newlineblue"+CurrentBar,true,(CurrentBar - barcountstart),startline,(CurrentBar - barcountend), endline, Color.Blue,DashStyle.DashDot,3);
			if (newredline) DrawLine("newlinered"+CurrentBar,true,(CurrentBar - barcountstart),startline,(CurrentBar - barcountend), endline, Color.Red,DashStyle.DashDot,3);

GoodDirections are DataSeries indicated by backcolors (1 is blue, -1 is orchid/purple, 0 is blank)

Please advise what needs to change with the code to plot one red line in the orchid/purple zone, one blue line in the blue zone, and no plots in the blank zone.
Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

Although I cannot offer exact code you would need to change to do this I can point you in the right direction to do this on your own.

It appears you are using DrawLine() to do this therefor you needed to add code so that you do not start Drawing a Line during this time or that and existing line does not have a start time before the time and an end time after the time. Since you defint the start point and end points of each line you draw you would need to make this change in your code you use to decide to DrawLine() or not to DrawLine().

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
