    Will this code work correctly or creat problems?
    Code:
    [FONT=Courier New][B][SIZE=4][COLOR=#ff0000]&& Bar_Kees().Kees_Short_Bar[[FONT=Courier New]1[/FONT][FONT=Courier New]] != [/FONT][FONT=Courier New].5[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][/FONT]
    My goal is to paint the first bar that meets the above conditions but not any bars (or at least the next bar) after that even when the same conditions are met.

    duck_CA,

    Unfortunately I have no way to evaluate this for you since we have no idea what Bar_Kees() is or how to use it. Right now what your code is saying is when that particular indicator's value on the previous bar is not equal to 0.5, do something.

      Bar Kees

      Hey Josh,
      Bar_Kees() is the name of this indicator. so it's referencing itself.

      which is
      Code:
      ([FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]Close[[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]]< Open[[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]][/SIZE][/FONT]

        for referencing the indicator itself you can use c# keyword "this"
        For example
        this.Name will return the name of the indicator.

          this.

          what's the diff between using
          Code:
          && this.Bar_Kees().Kees_Short_Bar[1] != .5
          and
          Code:
          [B][SIZE=4][COLOR=#ff0000]&& Bar_Kees().Kees_Short_Bar[[FONT=Courier New]1[/FONT][FONT=Courier New]] != [/FONT][FONT=Courier New].5[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]
          please keep in mind that i'm trying to reference the very same indicator that is also being built here

            Why don't you just use Kees_Short_Bar[1] != .5 ?
            or Values[0] [1] != .5 ?
            or Value[1] != .5 ?
