Color a region between two lines in a strategy

[Kalle]

Hello,

I want to color a region between two lines in a strategy, any idea how to make it work?

Please use DrawRegion().

Josh,

that's what I did, but it had no effect. I think I'm doing something wrong:


OnBarUpdate()
...

DrawRegion("test", CurrentBar, 0, StrategyPlot(4), StrategyPlot(5), Color.Black, Color.Blue, 2);

The strategy has 10 plots in total and they work perfectly.

Kalle,

Please try without StrategyPlot and just do Close price to some value. See if that works.

I simply pasted the following line of code from the NinjaTrader help section to the strategy @ OnBarUpdate():

DrawRegion("tag1", CurrentBar, 0, Bollinger(2, 14).Upper, Bollinger(2, 14).Lower, Color.Empty, Color.Lime, 2);

It does not work either. The chart disappears (blank), but the data window still shows values. Does DrawRegion work with strategies?

Kalle, please check the attached file - does this work properly for you?

Yes, it works fine.

But if I paste your strategy code into my own strategy and deactivate my DrawRegion command, the result still remains the same. It does not work. I get a blank chart window, nothing else.

Does it have to do with the fact I am using StrategyPlot() for the line plots?

Thanks for your help!

Kalle,

Please post a screenshot of what you are seeing along with simple as possible code. Strip it down completely. Thank you.

Bertrand ,
Is this something that could be converted to an indicator and plotted on a
chart ? Wouldn't mind coloring the area between to EMA's .
