Coloring a region between two doble values

[Plaket]

Hi,

I have created an indicator which uses two lines:

AddLine(Brushes.Crimson, Value1, "BandInf");
AddLine(Brushes.Green, Value2, "BandaSup");

Value 1 is 1.0 and Value 2 is 2.0.

I would like to know how to color the region between those two lines (which use two double values). I tried to do it using Draw.Region():

Draw.Region(this, "tag1", CurrentBar, 0, Value1, Value2, null, Brushes.Blue, 50);

But it does not allow me to do that. I get an error message which says that the variables can't be converted.

Is there any way to do it?

Thank you!

Hello Plaket,

Thank you for the post.

The Draw.Region tool expects two ISeries as inputs. Unless you have a plot to pass into that indicator it will not work with two double values. Since you are coloring the region between two static horizontal lines, you may use the Draw.RegionHighlightY() drawing tool.

Please let me know if I can assist further.

Thanks ChrisL.

If I write the next line on the indicator:

Draw.RegionHighlightY(this, "tag1", false, 2, 0, Brushes.Blue, Brushes.Green, 20);

it draws a region on the chart panel, however I need to draw the region on the indicator panel. Is there any other solution?

Thank you!

Hello Plaket,

Set DrawOnPricePanel to false and then remove the instance of the indicator and add a new instance.
