Parabolic SAR Diaplay Only 1st Dot

[jonbennett]

I am trying to ONLY display the first plot when the Parabolic SAR crosses price like the image attached.

How can I edit the standard indicator to do this?

Hello jonbennett,

Thank you for your post.

If you only want to display the first plot when the Parabolic SAR reverses, you could change this within OnStateChange:

AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Goldenrod, 2), PlotStyle.Dot, NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptIndicatorNa meParabolicSAR);

to this:

AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Transparent, 2), PlotStyle.Dot, NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptIndicatorNa meParabolicSAR);

Then, within OnBarUpdate, you could modify this section adding something like this (you can pick whatever color you like, I just used red for this example):

// Reverse position
if ((longPosition && (Low[0] < todaySAR || Low[1] < todaySAR))
|| (!longPosition && (High[0] > todaySAR || High[1] > todaySAR)))
{
Value[0] = Reverse();
PlotBrushes[0][0] = Brushes.Red;
}

You'll need to save this as a custom indicator, but it should look like this when you're done and apply it to a chart:
