removesince...

[tonynt]

Hello,

I want to have in my indicator

if (BarsSinceDrawObject("My remove draw object") == 3)
{
RemoveDrawObject("My remove draw object");
}

But I get an error-message when compiling.

I know from the videolibrary and strategy wizard how to do "BarsSinceEntry" but not when there is no entry and I want to remove eg an arrow 3 bars after the bar it has been plotted.

Thanks.
Tony

Hello tonynt,

You have to custom code this, as there are not built in methods for tracking drawing object placement and removal.

An example might be something like this, where you capture current bar with int variable myDrawBar at the same time you draw it. Compare this variable value to CurrentBar to decide when to remove.

if (Close[0] > Open[0])
{
DrawArrowDown("My down arrow" + CurrentBar, false, 0, High[0], Color.Red);
myDrawBar = CurrentBar;
}

else if (CurrentBar - myDrawBar == 3)
RemoveDrawObject("My down arrow");

Hello,
I have added "my draw bar....." but when compiling I get the message "The name ´myDrawBar´does not exist int the current context." (???)

Thanks

You have to declare in variables region.

#region Variables
private int myDrawBar;
#endregion
