draw segments around signal bar

  Hi, I have a problem, I cannot get this to draw a segment around the signal bar in question. What I am aiming to do is bracket the closing bar with horizontal segments if the conditions (below) are met at the bar close. I have it drawing the arrows but I have taken out my attempt to draw segments. Ideally I would like it to remove the segments around previous signals so only one set of segments are shown at a time. I would like the segments to span 8 bars into the future. I cannot get it to even draw the segments and coding the removal of the last signal is beyond my understanding. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   

  DEFPARAM DRAWONLASTBARONLY = TRUE

   

  CONDITIONS = CLOSE > HIGH[1] AND CLOSE > HIGH[2]

  CONDITION2 =CLOSE < LOW[1] AND CLOSE < LOW[2]

   

  if conditions and not conditions[1] then

  drawarrowUP(barindex,low-10) COLOURED (0,255,0)

  ELSIF CONDITION2 AND NOT CONDITIONS THEN

  drawarrowDOWN(barindex,HIGH+10) COLOURED (255,0,0)

  endif

  return

  Hi,

  I understand the part about seeing only the latest set of segments implying a set has to disappear when a new one comes along, not just be visible on signal bar only and disappear. However it doesn’t say if you want segments to remain drawn from latest barindex to barindex+8 while bars slide, or if you want the segments to stay attached to signal barindex and slide into the past with it (so stop segments on bar8,+7,+6 etc… each time a new barindex starts). Here is a version making the assumption to let them slide into the past until replaced:

  // DEFPARAM DRAWONLASTBARONLY = TRUE CONDITIONS = CLOSE > HIGH[1] AND CLOSE > HIGH[2] CONDITION2 =CLOSE < LOW[1] AND CLOSE < LOW[2] if conditions and not conditions[1] then drawarrowUP(barindex,low-10) COLOURED (0,255,0) memobar=barindex memolow=low memohigh=high ELSIF CONDITION2 AND NOT CONDITIONS THEN drawarrowDOWN(barindex,HIGH+10) COLOURED (255,0,0) memobar=barindex memolow=low memohigh=high endif DRAWSEGMENT(memobar, memohigh, memobar+8, memohigh) DRAWSEGMENT(memobar, memolow, memobar+8, memolow) 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

  // DEFPARAM DRAWONLASTBARONLY = TRUE   CONDITIONS = CLOSE > HIGH[1] AND CLOSE > HIGH[2] CONDITION2 =CLOSE < LOW[1] AND CLOSE < LOW[2]   if conditions and not conditions[1] then   drawarrowUP(barindex,low-10) COLOURED (0,255,0) memobar=barindex memolow=low memohigh=high   ELSIF CONDITION2 AND NOT CONDITIONS THEN   drawarrowDOWN(barindex,HIGH+10) COLOURED (255,0,0) memobar=barindex memolow=low memohigh=high   endif   DRAWSEGMENT(memobar, memohigh, memobar+8, memohigh) DRAWSEGMENT(memobar, memolow, memobar+8, memolow)   return

  Hi, I wonder if you could help me again.

  For back testing purposes I removed the “drawonlastbaronly” condition but rather obviously it displays every instance the signal was made. Can the code be modified to display the condition only after an opposite signal has been made. I have tried to illustrate the idea with the attached, the main image being what it displays now and the inset image is what im aiming for. So it would display the first buy signal bracket and then doesn’t bracket another bar unless a sell signal arrives, then a buy signal then a sell signal and so on.

  Thanks

  Sam

  Hi,

  switching to drawonlastbaronly=false, and ignoring signals on same side as previous one until an opposite signal occurs:

  DEFPARAM DRAWONLASTBARONLY = false//TRUE once sigup=1 once sigdown=1 CONDITIONS = CLOSE > HIGH[1] AND CLOSE > HIGH[2] CONDITION2 =CLOSE < LOW[1] AND CLOSE < LOW[2] if conditions and not conditions[1] and sigdown then drawarrowUP(barindex,low-10) COLOURED (0,255,0) memobar=barindex memolow=low memohigh=high sigup=1 sigdown=0 ELSIF CONDITION2 AND NOT CONDITIONS and sigup THEN drawarrowDOWN(barindex,HIGH+10) COLOURED (255,0,0) memobar=barindex memolow=low memohigh=high sigup=0 sigdown=1 endif DRAWSEGMENT(memobar, memohigh, memobar+8, memohigh) DRAWSEGMENT(memobar, memolow, memobar+8, memolow) 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

  DEFPARAM DRAWONLASTBARONLY = false//TRUE   once sigup=1 once sigdown=1   CONDITIONS = CLOSE > HIGH[1] AND CLOSE > HIGH[2] CONDITION2 =CLOSE < LOW[1] AND CLOSE < LOW[2]   if conditions and not conditions[1] and sigdown then   drawarrowUP(barindex,low-10) COLOURED (0,255,0) memobar=barindex memolow=low memohigh=high sigup=1 sigdown=0   ELSIF CONDITION2 AND NOT CONDITIONS and sigup THEN   drawarrowDOWN(barindex,HIGH+10) COLOURED (255,0,0) memobar=barindex memolow=low memohigh=high sigup=0 sigdown=1   endif   DRAWSEGMENT(memobar, memohigh, memobar+8, memohigh) DRAWSEGMENT(memobar, memolow, memobar+8, memolow)   return
