Drawing Rectangle on Bar

[spook202]

Hi,

Im hoping someone can assist here. I'm currently using Renko bars for trading.
I've developed a simple indicator that shows how much a bar would need to move to get a new renko bar (green or red). It includes the Pips required to move and the Price that a new bar will be created on.

Here's my issue, while the indicator logic works fine, the visual part of it is misaligned with the current bar.

I've tried several approaches:
Using "bars ago" draws the rectangle from the middle of the previous bar to the current bar
Using "Start/End Date" allows me more control but I still cant get it the full width of the bar and it also does not resize.

I've attached a screenshot of both issues and my desired result. I'm sure it must be something simple I'm missing - can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Hello spook202,

Likely you are using Draw.Rectangle() which is designed to be drawn from the center of a bar to the center of another bar.

To draw a rectangle the way you are presenting, this would require custom rendering in OnRender() using custom x and y values converted from the bar times.

Below is a link to an example called ClickDraw to assist in getting started with custom rendering.
