Strat/Indicator wont draw arrows

[billr]

I have a very simple strategy that I want to draw an arrow when conditions are met. When I set the strategy (using wizard) to draw an arrow or triangle, nothing happens. When I change that action to change color background, it works.

Are there some conditions that prevent certain drawing actions? Also I should mention this is on historical data, not live or replay.

thanks.

Hi billr,
Most commonly this is the Y value where it's drawn. Check attached screenshot for an example.

Thanks Ryan, I'm sure that's the problem. On another note, I used the strategy wizard to create what is really an indicator. How difficult is it to convert a strategy into an indicator?

Thanks.

Code should be identical -- just have to copy over each section into an indicator. The one thing that's different is that strategies typically have a 20 bar "minimum bars required" that's not in indicators. This means if you ever index past value with, then you need to handle this separately in your indicator code. More details on this item are available here:
