Hi,

I am trying to plot a simple dot formula on the chart under 2 conditions.

I want condition one to exist and then plot a simple dot formula either with one color or another color.
If condition one does not exist, plot nothing.

1) How can I test to see if the current bars typical price is within the previous bars high to low range please?

2) How can I then change the color of the simple dot formula?
- plotting one color for when the previous bars close is less than or equal to the simple dot formula.
- else plotting a different color when the previous bars close is greater than the simple dot formula.

Thanks

Hello tradethebonds,

1. You may Print out some data that will help you determine that inside of the Output window (Tools -> Output). Here is a thread that you may view for more information about this.

2. To change the colors of a single plot you may use the PlotColors method inside of NinjaTrader. Here is a link to our Help Guide that Demonstrates this.

Happy to be of further assistance.

Thanks,

How might I ONLY plot this if

Low[0] < Low[1]

up = (Low[0]*2) - Low[1];

please?

Hello tradethebonds,

You would use an if() statement with that condition and then inside of the if statement place our code to plot the value.

if(Low[0] < Low[1])
{
    // Do something like Plot0.Set(Close[0]);
}

You may view a tutorial similar to this inside of our Help Guide at the following link.
