Alert within a box

[chakriare]

Hi

I want to develop a simple indicator with two pieces of conditions

1. Price close with in 10% of high. I know how to write code for this condition
2. Price stays with in the rectangle I draw on the chart

I dont know how to write code for the second condition. I want to draw a rectangle box every morning (which means it will be different/new one every morning but it will be rectangle) and check price stay with in the box I draw . I want draw same rectangle box in other instruments as well.

Can you please help me the code?

Hello chakriare,

Thank you for your post.

Below is an example of looping through the drawing objects to find a manually draw rectangle and check if the close is within the bounds of the rectangle.

		protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
			foreach (DrawingTool draw in DrawObjects)
			{
				if (draw is DrawingTools.Rectangle && draw.IsUserDrawn)
				{               
					Rectangle uRect = draw as DrawingTools.Rectangle;
					if ((Close[0] > uRect.StartAnchor.Price || Close[0] > uRect.EndAnchor.Price) && (Close[0] < uRect.StartAnchor.Price || Close[0] < uRect.EndAnchor.Price))
					{
						Print("Current price is within the rectangle.");
					}
				}
			}
		}
