Tagging bars based on a condition

[MSerag]

Hi all,
I appreciate your help.
I am trying to tag the bars on the chart based on a condition. I wrote this but it works only on the first bar that achieve the condition; not all. Would you please help where is the mistake?
Thank you.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe barsType = Bars.BarsSeries.BarsType as
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe;
NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.SimpleFont myFont = new NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.SimpleFont("Courier New", 12) { Size = 20, Bold = true };

if (barsType == null)
return;

int count=1;

if (CurrentBar < Count-2)

for(count = 1; count < Count-1; count++)
{

if (Bars.GetClose(Count-(count+1)) > (Bars.GetHigh(Count-count)+Bars.GetLow(Count-count))/2)
Draw.Text(this, "tag1", false, "*", Bars.GetTime(Count-(count+1)), Bars.GetHigh(Count-(count+1)), 10, Brushes.Blue, myFont, TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Transparent, null, 1);

}

}

Hello MSerag,

Thank you for your post.

I think your main issue here is that you're not making the tag for the drawing objects unique, so instead of having multiple different objects, you just have a single object being redrawn on different bars so you only see the final time it's drawn. Try making the objects unique by using count in the tag name:

 protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe barsType = Bars.BarsSeries.BarsType as
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe;
NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.SimpleFont myFont = new NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.SimpleFont("Courier New", 12) { Size = 20, Bold = true };

if (barsType == null)
return;

int count=1;

if (CurrentBar < Count-2)
{
for(count = 1; count < Count-1; count++)
{

if (Bars.GetClose(Count-(count+1)) > (Bars.GetHigh(Count-count)+Bars.GetLow(Count-count))/2)
Draw.Text(this, [B]"tag1" + count[/B], false, "*", Bars.GetTime(Count-(count+1)), Bars.GetHigh(Count-(count+1)), 10, Brushes.Blue, myFont, TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Transparent, null, 1);

}
}

}

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Appreciation Kate for pointing out the mistake.
However, the text "*" now appears at the correct X value which is Bars.GetTime(Count-(count+1)) but at a wrong, fixed Y value at the lower end of the chart. I suppose that it should appear at Bars.GetHigh(Count-(count+1)) of each bar. Would you please help on how to resolve this?
Thanks again.

Hello MSerag,

Thank you for your reply.

Can you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing as far as the asterisk being plotted at a wrong Y value? Here's what I'm seeing on the chart, which is what I'd expect to see - the asterisk plotted at a 10 pixel offset from the bar high:



Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.
