Delete rectangle when the price closes below or above it

[tabi5]

Hello, good to everyone.
I have no idea of programming. But I do some basic things with the Strategy Builder. I have managed to get the indicator to detect a specific candle pattern and draw a rectangle for me as a zone.
I would like those rectangles to be erased when the price closes below them if it is bullish or above them if it is bearish. Right now he draws me at a fixed number of candles. All the rectangles measure the same.I would really appreciate any kind of help.

Hello tabi5, thanks for your post.

You will need to save the price where you draw the rectangle then evaluate if the Close[0] goes above or below that price. You can set up a double variable in the Inputs and Variables section for saving the value. In a new set, check if the Close[0] price crossed above or below that variable.

Kind regards,

I really appreciate your answer ... But as I said at the beginning I don't understand much. Could you help me understand how I save those prices where the rectangle was drawn?

Hello tabi5, thanks for your reply.

First, you will need to make a variable in the Inputs and Variables tab. Then, in the condition set where the rectangle is drawn, along with drawing the rectangle, save the value using the same price you used to draw the rectangle. After this, you would check in a different set if the current close price crossed above or below that saved value. If practice with condition building is needed, we have a full set of examples here:
