BACKGROUNDCOLOR – known bug?

  Hi

  I came across a potential issue when using BACKGROUNDCOLOR in that it doesn’t behave as I believe it should. I wanted to know if this intended behavior or a known issue.

  I have included some sample code to show the problem. If VerticalLines (in the code below/attachment) is set as a configurable variable on this indicator, it does not remove the BACKGROUNDCOLOR by toggling it on/off, whereas toggling DRAWARROW does.

  Thanks

  BACKGROUNDCOLOR issue?

  DEFPARAM DRAWONLASTBARONLY = False // VerticalLines is a boolean, true or false toggle option as a variable for the indicator setting // Arrows is a boolean, true or false toggle option as a variable for the indicator setting // Donchian hh = highest[30](High) ll = lowest[30](Low) IF VerticalLines = 1 THEN // Long signal IF close = hh THEN BACKGROUNDCOLOR (10,255,10,50) ENDIF // Short signal IF close = ll THEN BACKGROUNDCOLOR (255,10,10,50) ENDIF ENDIF IF Arrows = 1 THEN // Long signal IF close = hh THEN DRAWARROW(barindex-1,hh) COLOURED (10,255,10,50) ENDIF // Short signal IF close = ll THEN DRAWARROW(barindex-1,ll) COLOURED (255,10,10,50) ENDIF ENDIF RETURN

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38

  DEFPARAM DRAWONLASTBARONLY = False   // VerticalLines is a boolean, true or false toggle option as a variable for the indicator setting // Arrows is a boolean, true or false toggle option as a variable for the indicator setting   // Donchian hh = highest[30](High) ll = lowest[30](Low)   IF VerticalLines = 1 THEN   // Long signal IF close = hh THEN BACKGROUNDCOLOR (10,255,10,50) ENDIF   // Short signal IF close = ll THEN BACKGROUNDCOLOR (255,10,10,50) ENDIF   ENDIF   IF Arrows = 1 THEN   // Long signal IF close = hh THEN DRAWARROW(barindex-1,hh) COLOURED (10,255,10,50) ENDIF   // Short signal IF close = ll THEN DRAWARROW(barindex-1,ll) COLOURED (255,10,10,50) ENDIF   ENDIF   RETURN

  I had confirmation that this bug is no longer present in the current version of PRT.
