Getting an arrow on all bars of chart

[BernWillChris]

Hi programmers,

I'm trying to get an arrow drawn on all bars of my chart, not just the recent. So far, I was able to get it done for the most recent. I'm trying to get the arrows to be shown for all conditions that were satisfied on the entire chart.
How can I do that?

This is what I have in my UpDateBar function

if(CrossAbove(SMA(movingAverage1) , SMA(movingAverage2), 1)){

DrawArrowUp("Long", true, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Color.Green);
}

if(CrossBelow(SMA(movingAverage1) , SMA(movingAverage2), 1)){

DrawArrowDown("Short", true, 0, High[0] + TickSize, Color.Red);
}

Thanks so much

You'll need to add something to the tag as each draw object needs a different one. The most common way of doing this is:

DrawArrowUp("Long" + CurrentBar, true, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Color.Green);

Hello BernWillChris,

Thank you for writing in. Arbuthnot is correct, you will need to add a unique identifier to the arrow tag. Otherwise the program will continuously redraw the two arrows "Long" and "Short" on the current bar instead of creating new arrows on the current bar.

More information on the DrawArrowDown() method can be found here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...warrowdown.htm
and more information on the DrawArrowUp() method can be found here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...rawarrowup.htm

Thanks so much!

I figured that out shortly after posting it and didn't get to deleting the post before y'all were so generous to reply.

Thanks again.
