[reedstickets]

Looking to create a up/down triangle on panel 1 for the NT8 key reversal indicator.

Was trying this but could not get it: TIA for any help.

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
max = MAX(High, Period);

}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar < Period + 1)
return;

double DesiredValue2 = (Value[0] = High[0] > max[1] && Close[0] < Close[1]) ? 1: 0;
if (DesiredValue2 == 1.0) Draw.TriangleDown(this, CurrentBar.ToString(), false, 0, High[0] + (TickSize * 10), Brushes.Red);
if (DesiredValue2 == 0) RemoveDrawObject(CurrentBar.ToString());
}

Hello reedstickets,

Thanks for your post.

Can you provide some clarity regarding the specific issue you are having?
Compile error?
Run time error?
Not drawing?
Etc?

Than you Paul,

I am getting a compile error. I will have to run it again, but it is something with the MAX and period.

Thanks for any help.

Hello reedstickets,

Thanks for your reply.

Has the variable "Period" been defined and has a default value?

[reedstickets]

Yes, but it says "the name Period does not exists in the current context" The name MAX does not exists in the current context".

Thanks for any help:

Period = 1;

Hello reedstickets,

Thanks for your reply.

You would need to make sure the Period is not only defined with a value but the type of variable that it is.

Just below the Public Class name, do you have something like:

private MAX max;
private int Period;

Thanks Paul,

I had that part incorrect in the code. I thought it was going to compile once I fixed it but got a "cannot implicitly convert "bool" to "double" on this line

double DesiredValue2 = (Value[0] = High[0] > max[1] && Close[0] < Close[1]) ? 1: 0;

Thanks for any help, I am very rusty coming back to trading after 5 years...

Hello reedstickets,

Thanks for your reply.

You have a lot going on with that one line and it doesn't make sense as is.
Can you clarify what you are trying to do? If this is a conversion you may want to double check the source line.

Thanks fr the help Paul,

I got it to compile and plot correct. I left the "Value[0] In the line.
