Value of plots

[soyjesus]

Hello,

I have developed an indicator that has two Plots with two colors (red and blue).

So, I have used "ContainsValue" to check the state of my indicator and I can know wich of both colors are active.

But this information is delayed one bar. For example, if the actual bar has my indicator with red color and I check ContainsValue, I get "false", but in the next bar, this value is "true".

Why?

And how can I to check the value of my indicator when I use two plots?

Thanks in advance.

Hello soyjesus,

Thank you for writing in.

What is your indicator's calculate on bar close property set to?

With this set to true, any logic that you have within OnBarUpdate() will not display until the bar has closed, as OnBarUpdate() will only be called at the close of each bar. With it set to false, OnBarUpdate() is called on each tick that comes in and operates in real time.

When using two plots, you can call the ContainsValue() method on each of the DataSeries object contained within the Values collection: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t7/?values.htm

Example:

// first plot
Values[0].ContainsValue(....);
// second plot
Values[1].ContainsValue(....);
