Hello hir04068,

I've copied the example from the help guide and substituted the SMA.

Draw.Region(this, "tag1", CurrentBar, 0, SMA(7), SMA(14), null, Brushes.Blue, 50);

hello,
i used this code
if (CrossAbove(SMA1, SMA2, 1))
{
Draw.ArrowUp(this, "tag1" + CurrentBar, false, 0, (Close[0] + (-3 * (TickSize * 10))) , Brushes.Lime);
Draw.Region(this, "tag1", CurrentBar, 0, SMA(PeriodFast), SMA(PeriodSlow), null, Brushes.Blue, 50);
}

// Set 2
if (CrossBelow(SMA1, SMA2, 1))
{
Draw.ArrowDown(this, "tag1" + CurrentBar, false, 0, (Close[0] + (3 * (TickSize * 10))) , Brushes.Red);
Draw.Region(this, "tag1", CurrentBar, 0, SMA(PeriodSlow), SMA(PeriodFast), null, Brushes.Red, 50);
}

Hello hir04068,

Currently you are using the same tag name for two different drawing objects.

Only one of them is going to be drawn if you are re-using the tag name.

Hello hir04068,

I see that you have set the tag for the Up and Down arrow to the same, was this intentional? It looks like the other tags used are unique.

This is all I can see that may be incorrect, I also see the Down arrow and Region share the same color where the Up arrow and region do not. Is this related to what you are seeing?


I look forward to being of further assistance.

if ((SMA1[0] + (Close[0] * TickSize)) > SMA2[0])
{

Draw.Region(this, "tag1" , CurrentBar, 0, SMA(PeriodFast), SMA(PeriodSlow), null, Brushes.Red, 10);
}

// Set 2

Hello hir04068,

As a heads up, the file name is SMAregion but the internal name for the script is SMAcross.. which can be confusing.

Are you using prints to ensure that the condition to draw the object is evaluating as true?

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates how to use prints to understand behavior.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-7/strategy-development-aa/99209-date-conditions-not-working?p=791121#post791121

If a print of the Time[0] is in the same action block of the Draw.Region call that is not appearing, does the time appear in the output window?

If not, print all variables and values used in the condition set to the output window.

May I have the output from the prints to see on what bars the condition is evaluating as true?

Below is a complex script that does region highlighting for multiple moving averages.
