Alright so I was using this indicator to draw arrows for a rising condition checking if the Close was higher than the previous for green arrows, and if the close was lower than the previous, it would draw a red arrow. Also, I tagged on some other helpful conditions like Average Time per bar, if the average time per bar was very fast, then it would make the overall condition true.
Anyways this code was working very well, then eventually it would disappear from my charts. I tried recompiling the charts and reloading the ninjascript by pressing F5. It wouldn't work. I even tried a reset and repair of the database. I removed all ninja script assemblies so the list is clear.
Can anyone chime in on this?
Keep in mind in the indicator properties, the panel is of course "same as input series".
Perhaps I made a change to the code and was forgetful about it. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing, but I have been testing this indicator on different settings and charts. It would always work up until now.
