Plot Brushes on Previous Bar

[Johndc]

How do you get it to plot from previous bar instead of the current bar. (see attached photo) I want those dots to plot in the previous bar instead.

This is how the code looks like at the moment.

if(CurrentBar < 20) return;

ta = (High[0] + 1 * TickSize);

tb = (Low[0] - 1 * TickSize);

TickAbove[0] = ta;
TickBelow[0] = tb;

if(CurrentBar < 1)
return;

PlotBrushes[0][1] = Brushes.Transparent;
PlotBrushes[1][1] = Brushes.Transparent;

Figured it out, I just set the calculate on bar close. Not sure if that's the proper way, but it works.

Hello Johndc,

Thank you for your reply.

The correct way to ensure your plots are on the bar prior to the one currently forming when running OnEachTick or OnPriceChange would be to use a BarsAgo index when assigning values to your plots. So, for example, if I wanted to set values for the prior bar instead of the currently forming bar, I can use a BarsAgo value of 1:


TickAbove[1] = ta;
TickBelow[1] = tb;

If I wanted to set it for 2 bars ago, I would change the 1 to a 2, 3 bars ago, it would be a 3, and so on.

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

Thanks Kate!

Also, if it's not too much ask, can you please give me an example how to create a user defined input so I dont have to keep changing them in the editor.

ta = (High[0] + 1 * TickSize);
tb = (Low[0] - 1 * TickSize);
