Highlight Bars from specific Time or action

[amigatlin]

Looking to draw background color or vertical line on all bars after a certain criteria is met but only for that time period.

Example: I have a double defined. Once price crosses that double paint the background. BUT ignore all bars before the new double is defined.

So if that double was defined 40 bars ago, only paint background from that point forward. Ignore all bars behindb the 40th bar.

Hello amigatlin,

Thank you for your post.

I would recommend having two separate variables for this. One double variable to detect when the price crosses that value, and another integer variable to save the value of how many bars you want to be processed before starting to highlight bars. Then you could use a CurrentBar check to prevent any highlighting actions to occur until your desired number of bars has been processed.
