Draw an arrow as signal

[Rosario]

Hello everyone

I have built a simply indi to know when 15 minutes and 60 minutes bars move in the same direction "backbrushing" the chart...

I would like just draw an arrow at the beginning of every section. Any idea or example of how can I do that?

Thanks

Link below is the coding to draw arrow :

Basically, you have to make a condition for it to draw. For example :

if (Condition here)
Draw.ArrowUp(this, "tag1 " + CurrentBar, true, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Brushes.Red);

** Remember to plus CurrentBar


From your picture, it must be have condition for it to draw the region.
Make you just put the draw arrow function inside there function.

Hello Cincai

Thanks for your answer. I know how to draw an arrow. What I need to know is how to do just once at the beggining of each section.

Hello Rosario,

Thanks for your post.

You would need to devise some logic to create the situation you have. The situation is that you have a variable length of background drawing.

One approach to this would be to create an int variable to use as a counter. When you do NOT have the condition to draw the background you would set the counter to 0. When you do have the condition to draw the background you increment the counter. When the counter is 1, you draw the arrow.

if (some condition to draw the background)
{
BackBrush =...
myCounter++; // increment counter
if (myCounter == 1)
{
Draw.arrow....
}
}
else
{
myCounter = 0; // reset the counter if NOT drawing the background
}
