Paint Bar

[duck_CA]

i have 2 indicators that paint bars when conditions are met.

trying to have indicator #1 look to see if indicator #2 has been triggered within the last 5 bars before painting bar.

more info

indicator #1 has the following once conditions are met

[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]Purple_Short.Set([/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080].75[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]); [/SIZE][/FONT]

trying to add indicator #1 to indicator #2

&& Purple_Short.[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#008000][COLOR=black]MAX(High,5)[0]== .75[/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

trying to see if indicator #1 has been triggered within the last 5 bars.

if indicator #1 has been triggered within the last 5 bars...and of course all the conditions on indicator #2 have been met...then a bar will be painted

i know how to paint bars and add plots, but can't seem to combine these two

&& MAX(Purple_Short,5)[0]== .75

was hoping this would work, but seems to be missing something..it does compile, but wont paint any bars

Hello,

I am sorry, you will need to debug it. I do not know why this is happening.

this may work

this seems to work. it's the complete title or name of indicator as opposed to just the "Set" deal

I have found that it is always best to use a dataSeries for this. It makes life a lot easier.
