Draw multiple objects and take control after days when price touches the object

[cmtjoancolmenero]

Hello I'm creating an indicator where it draws a RegionHighlightYas follows

Draw.RegionHighlightY(this, "Example", true, highPrice, bottomPrice, Brushes.Blue, Brushes.DodgerBlue, 25);

The thing is, I'd like to draw N RegionHighlightY depending on the days loaded, so if there are 3 days loaded, I'd like to draw 3. The thing is they can not be named "Example" because the ID should be different, which ID should I put?

Then what I need is, onEachTick I need to calculate if the price is touching this RegionHighlightY, but it may be the first one drawn (from the first day loaded) and I need to react to that RegionHighlightY, any idea how can I do this?

I'm guessing to have a loop looking for all the RegionHighlightY ID drawn and get the top/bot price and then having the High Low of the price react to this.

Shorter explanation with example :

I've load 5 days
Day1 RegionHighlightY1
Day2 RegionHighlightY2
Day3 RegionHighlightY3
Day4 RegionHighlightY4
Day5 RegionHighlightY5

Then as I am on Day5 the price may be in below some RegionHighlightY, so I need to get the one or ones RegionHighlightY that are in that area and react to this.

Hello BrandonH,

What's the efficient way to draw each object with different tag name? Imagine I add the tag MyRegion, what should I include next to it?

Hello BrandonH,

I've made it, and it's drawing the regions I want, I'm using this :


private Dictionary<DateTime, bool> regionsDrawn = new Dictionary<DateTime, bool>(); // Dictionary to store dates for which regions have been drawn

Because I want to draw just one region per day, is it ok? Is there any other efficient way to do so?

Once I have this, I need to get the top and bottom for each drawing object drawn by my indicator, is there any way I can get getting the tag?

Shall I use this instead?

private Dictionary<DateTime, double[]> regionsTopPrices = new Dictionary<DateTime, double[]>();
private Dictionary<DateTime, double[]> regionsBottomPrices = new Dictionary<DateTime, double[]>();

Hello BrandonH,

Yes, I saw this, but is there any way I can get the top/bot from a RegionHighlightY? I couldn't find it anywhere, I need it because I need to know if the price have pierced it or not.

Hello cmtjoancolmenero,

You can get this from the drawing object's anchors.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/regionhighlighty.htm

RegionHighlightY myReg = Draw.RegionHighlightY(this, "tag1", 10, 0, Brushes.Blue);

Print( "myReg.StartAnchor.Price: " + myReg.StartAnchor.Price + ", myReg.EndAnchor.Price: " + myReg.EndAnchor.Price );
