Add() question

[CaptainAmericaXX]

Hello,
I'm attempting to add a 2 range bars object to my indicator for certain calculations. The primary bars object is a 4 range bar. Here is my code:

 
protected override void Initialize()
        {
            Add(PeriodType.Range,2);
        }
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            double mAverage = SMA(sMA)[0];
            //in 4 Range
            if(Close[0]<= Open[0] && Close[1] > mAverage && Close[0] <= mAverage)
            {
                BarColor = Color.Yellow;
            }
            //in 2 Range
            if(Closes[0][1]<= Opens[0][1] && Closes[1][1] > mAverage && Closes[0][1] <= mAverage)
            {
                DrawDot("tag1", true, 0, High[0] + 1, Color.Red);

            }

Everything worked fine for the primary bars object. When I added the 2nd I'm getting yellow bars that correspond to a 2 range chart, but I didn't ask for yellow bars I asked for a red dot. Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks

1) Look up 'BarsInProgress' in the help or a forum search here.

The 4 range should be 0, and the 2 range should be 1.

Thanks for your help sledge I changed my code to check for BarsInProgress. However I'm still not getting the dot on the 2 range. The Print() is showing that the condition is true in the right spots but no red dot. Correction there is a red dot on the very last bar of my chart. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 protected override void Initialize()
        {
            Overlay                = true;
            Add(PeriodType.Range,2);
        }
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            double mAverage = SMA(sMA)[0];
            //in 4 Range
            if (BarsInProgress == 0)
            {
                if(Close[0]<= Open[0] && Close[1] > mAverage && Close[0] <= mAverage)
                {
                    BarColor = Color.Yellow;
                }
            }
            //in 2 Range
            if (BarsInProgress == 1)
            {
                if(Close[0]<= Open[0] && Close[1] > mAverage && Close[0] <= mAverage)
                {
                    DrawDot("tag1", true, 0, Close[0] + 1, Color.Red);
                    Print(Time[0].ToString());
                }
            }

Perhaps not a solution, but please first add this statement at the beginning of OnBarUpdate:

if (CurrentBars[0] == 0 || CurrentBars[1] == 0) return;

Second, is the moving average based on the primary or secondary series?

Thanks.

CaptainAmericaXX, I would expect the red dot only seen one time now, for the last time the condition to draw / update was true. That's because of your draw object tag - "tag1"

Try using for example a tag id like "tag1 + CurrentBar", so you create unique id's for each object you want to show.
