triangles arent plotting

[simpletrades]

i just tried your suggestion in post 10.

i added this
if (CurrentBar < 1)
return;

this made the simplified line work when the current bar was higher than the prior bar, but when i deleted that sample line and reinserted my real 3 parts of condition 1, it didnt work.

i tried each of my 3 parts of cond 1 alone and only this last line worked when by itself
if (Low[0] > Low[1]-1.0)

neither of these other 2 lines worked alone as the if statement--ignore the lack of parentheses in these.

Low[2] <= Low[3]+.25
High[1] >= High[2]+.5


is it anything to do with the fact that in the 2 lines that dont work, both tested bars are not the current bar but instead are 1 or 2 or 3 back but in the line that did, one is Low[0]--the current bar?

THAT IS THE PROBLEM because when i change those nonworking lines to always compare just bar[0] with bar[1] for the comparison highs or lows, they worked together.
So how does it get fixed?

i thought about it and went in and changed this to read 4 bars instead of just 1 since the furthest back i tell it to go to compare lows is 3 bars but i might want another filter later.
and it works. thanks.

if (CurrentBar < 4)
return;

now can you help me filter out repeat triangles 2 bars in a row?
i want it to read as another requirement of my 'condition set 1' that the condition one bar ago=false or something. here is the relevant part of the current code.

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar < 4)
return;
//Condition set 1

if (Low[2] <= Low[3]+.25
&& High[1] >= High[2]+.5
&& Low[0] > Low[1]-1.0)

DrawTriangleUp etc......

Hi

A few options...
1. You designate a to have the new triangle automatically delete the old object and redraw it by naming the new object with the same same, by removing the "+ CurrentBar" in the tag name

DrawTriangleUp("My triangle up", false, 0, Low[0]- (TickSize*dist), Color.Lime)

instead of

DrawTriangleUp("My triangle up" + CurrentBar, false, 0, Low[0]- (TickSize*dist), Color.Lime)

or you can remove specific objects by their name with RemoveDrawObject()

thats the opposite way. i want the second consecutive triangle to not appear, not to delete the earlier one.

Hi simpletrades,

You can create a condition that looks back an extra bar, (Low[3] instead of Low[2] for example) then use the RemoveDrawObject()

Unfortunately, I can not write the specific code logic for you.
