Hi All
the below plotsOK,but some bars are not colored because they do not fall within the criteria...C > C[1]and C > C[2] and C > C[3]
I refer to these unpainted bars as "Warning Bars"

Could someone show me how to color these "Warning Bars" yellow
Thanks
Milton

Code: Select all

If C > C[1]and C > C[2] and C > C[3] then begin

	Condition1 = True ;

end else begin

	Condition1 = False;

end;

If C < C[1]and C < C[2] and C < C[3] then begin

	Condition2 = True ;

end else begin

	Condition2 = False;

end;



Value1 = HIGH[0] ;

Value2 = LOW[0] ;



if Condition1 then

	begin

	PlotPaintBar[0]( Value1, Value2, "Plot", Cyan ) ;

	Alert( "Close > than 3 prev Closes" ) ;

	

	end

else if Condition2 then

	begin

	PlotPaintBar[0]( Value1, Value2, "Plot", Red ) ;

	Alert("Close < than 3 prev Closes" )  ;

	end ;

There are probably many ways of doing this, but here is one way of doing it.

Code: Select all

{------------------------Start------------------------}



Condition1 = (C > C[1] and C > C[2] and C > C[3]);

Condition2 = (C < C[1] and C < C[2] and C < C[3]);



Value1 = HIGH;

Value2 = LOW;



if Condition1 then begin

	PlotPaintBar( Value1, Value2, "Plot", Cyan ) ;

	Alert( "Close > than 3 prev Closes" ) ;

end;



if Condition2 then begin

	PlotPaintBar( Value1, Value2, "Plot", Red ) ;

	Alert("Close < than 3 prev Closes" ) ;

end;



If Condition1 = false and Condition2 = false then begin 

	PlotPaintBar( Value1, Value2, "Plot", Yellow );

End;





{-----------------------------end---------------------------------------}

The last if statement can also be replaced with:
If Condition1 = Condition2 then
PlotPaintBar( Value1, Value2, "Plot", Yellow );

Since the only time both will be equal is if both are false.
