Problems with Draw.Dot, Draw.TriangleUp, etc

[electron]

Hello,

This piece of code:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
//Add your custom indicator logic here.
if (CurrentBar < 1) return;

if (Close[0]>Close[1])
Draw.TriangleUp(this, "tag2", true, 0, Low[0] - 1*TickSize, Brushes.Blue);

}

compiles just fine, but does nothing to the chart. The triangles (or dots) are not being drawn as they are in NT 7 where I use this piece of code:

DrawTriangleUp(CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, Low[0] - 1*TickSize, Color.Blue);

What is wrong here? Any help in resolving this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

The fundamental difference between these two lines of code is the Tag being used, in your NT7 code you have a unique tag and in the NT8 code you do not:

DrawTriangleUp([B]CurrentBar.ToString()[/B], true, 0, Low[0] - 1*TickSize, Color.Blue); 

Draw.TriangleUp(this, [B]"tag2"[/B], true, 0, Low[0] - 1*TickSize, Brushes.Blue);

The NT8 code would only draw 1 triangle on the entire chart, the NT7 code would draw multiple. To make this the same you could use the same code:

Draw.TriangleUp(this, [B]CurrentBar.ToString()[/B], true, 0, Low[0] - 1*TickSize, Brushes.Blue);

Or to be less generic to prevent future problems in case you add more objects, a more correct solution would be:

Draw.TriangleUp(this,[B] "SomeTag" + CurrentBar[/B], true, 0, Low[0] - 1*TickSize, Brushes.Blue);

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Jesse, thanks! That does appear to have solved my problem.
