Draw command when Close hits channel

[sandman]

I have a simple High-Low channel based on Lin Regs. Now I'd like to have it draw a dot when it hits either the High or Low but it does not compile.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

// Checks to make sure we have at least 1 bar before continuing
if (CurrentBar < 1)
return;

LRLow.Set(LinReg(Low, period)[0]);
LRHi.Set(LinReg(High, period)[0]);
LRClose.Set(LinReg(Close, period)[0]);

if (Close[0] >= LinReg(High,period)[0])
{
DrawDot("tag1", true, 0, High[0] + 2 TickSize, Color.Red);
}

if (Close[0] <= LinReg(Low,period)[0])
{
DrawDot("tag2", true, 0, Low[0] - 2 TickSize, Color.Green);
}
}

An image of the code is also attached. I have looked over the {} and [] and ":" ad nauseum but can't find what I am doing wrong. Any help/advice?

Hello,

Please change the following syntax in both places it is used:

2 TickSize

to

2 * TickSize

If you want 2 Ticks, you would multiply two Times TickSize, the operator is missing from the syntax you are using currently.

In the image, you can see the "Hint" or red line under TickSize, this indicates the error may be near what is currently Red Underlined. It is not 100% accurate but should give you a general idea on where the actual error is. As shown the error message does not say TickSize at all, but only that the structure of the file is incorrect.



I look forward to being of further assistance.
