Heiken Ashi 8 Indicator

[laoshr]

I'm wanting to have the heiken ashi 8 indicator not print the large bar with the gap on the open. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Hello James,

To confirm, you don't want the indicator to render the rectangle over the bar if the difference of the high minus low is larger than a specific number?

How large must the difference of the high and low be for the rectangle not render?

In OnRender() before the line where the barX is assigned, line 239, add a condition to continue if the difference is too great.

For example if I wanted to not render when the differences is greater than 100.

if (HAHigh.GetValueAt(idx) - HALow.GetValueAt(idx) > 100 && Bars.IsFirstBarOfSessionByIndex(idx))
continue;

Chelsea,
Thank you so much that worked perfectly.

Hello Chelsea,

On some of the opening gaps I'm still getting the big bar. Is it possible to maybe start the bars after the first bar has completed or something to get rid of the big gap bar?
Thanks again for all your help.

Hello James,

That appears to be the second bar after the open.

Are you wanting to not render the second bar?

If so, modify the condition to also compare the second bar.

if (HAHigh.GetValueAt(idx) - HALow.GetValueAt(idx) > 100 && (Bars.IsFirstBarOfSessionByIndex(idx) || Bars.IsFirstBarOfSessionByIndex(idx-1))
continue;

Thank you Chelsea.
It seems it was the first 3 bars that filled the gap. Thank you again for all your help and direction.
