To save the CurrentBars[0] value to a variable when a crossover happens.

[trdninstyle]

Precisely how would I write this out? To save CurrentBars[0] value to a variable. So, when a crossover happens lines update.


// Calculate the startBarsAgo as CurrentBars[0] - savedCrossBelowBar.

//Calling Draw.Line() with the same tag in OnBarUpdate() will update the object being drawn.

I meant to put under strategy not indicators, sorry.

Hello trdninstyle,

Thanks for your post.

This error message means that the variable 'savedCrossBelowBar' does not exist at the time you are accessing it.

You could create a variable in your script called 'savedCrossBelowBar'.

Then assign the CurrentBar value to the variable within your CrossBelow() condition. After assigning the value to it you could use it later in your script.

For example:

//class level variable
private int savedCrossBelowBar;

//OnBarUpdate()
if (CrossBelow condition)
{
savedCrossBelowBar = CurrentBar;
}

Thanks for this, I did see private int a few times the other day when I was searching things out.

I'll get my head back into it, probably tomorrow. I'm content pretty much the way I have this indicator for now, I'm just trying to tweak it which requires more code.
Thanks, Bill. Happy New Year
