new LLs indicator help

[wxtrox7]

hi,

I got this volume indicator and would like to add a condition of only coloring the volume bars when the low of current bar is below the lowest low of the day (9:30 to 4:00). Any tips or working samples are appreciated

thanks

wx, you could for example look into this sample here - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=8600

An alternative approach would be tracking the lowest low seen for your desired time frame in a variable and then comparing to the current bar's close to filter.

I tried below code using the reference examples but I think I am doing something wrong. Any tips? thanks

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if (CurrentBar<3)
                return;
            
            bool sameDay = true;
            
            if (currentDate != Bars.GetTradingDayFromLocal(Time[0]) || currentOpen == double.MinValue)
            {
                currentLow        =    Low[0];
                sameDay         =   false;
            }

            currentLow        =     Math.Min(currentLow, Low[0]);
            
            if (Low [0] < EMA (Close,20)[0] && Volume[0] > Volume[1] && Low[0] < currentLow)

            {
                
                Values[0].Set(Volume[0]);
                Values[1].Reset();
                {PlaySound(soundFile);}
            }
            else
            {
                Values[1].Set(Volume[0]);
                Values[0].Reset();
            }
        }

Hello wxtrox7,
If you try the below code then are you able to get the correct values.

//In Variables

double low = double.MaxValue;

//in OnBarUpdate

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
	if (Bars.FirstBarOfSession) low = double.MaxValue;
	Values[0].Set(VOL()[0]);
	
	if (CurrentBar < 1) return;
	
	low = Math.Min(low, Low[1]);
	
	if (Low[0] < low)
		this.PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Red;
}

Also please do note, the low is always dynamically changing.
