Hi guys,

how to draw a rectangle for the current bar and 3 bars ahead?

The conditions for the following bar as follows:

if (pressure >= lpMax && volume > lvolSMA)

Thank you!

Hello again,

i think i found the answer from this post:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showpost.php?p=308942&postcount=2

Now i have a question regerding the projected value of the rectangle(-10 in the case above).Is it possible to expose those levels at -10 bar and use them as a breakout levels via strategy?

Thank you!

Hello Outsource,

Yes, it is possible. You would need to use the IRectangle interface to create your Rectangle object and have access to its properties -

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi Cal,

an example snippet code,to add more degrees of freedom,maybe?HelpGuides is usually to narrow to my too narrow mind

Taking the sample from the help guide -

IRectangle rectangle = DrawRectangle("tag1", false, 10, Low[10] - TickSize, 5, High[5] + TickSize, Color.PaleGreen, Color.PaleGreen, 2);

if(Close[0] > rectangle.EndY)
 EnterLong();

 EnterLong();

Hi Cal,i still can`t get it working properly.The strategy doesn`t ''see'' the ''rectangle.EndY'' and doesn`t compile.What further steps should i take?

Can you please attach your full script so I can test this on my end?

Hi Cal,

check the attached.The only way i found was to add bool series but still it doesn`t work properly.It seems that it just checks for the first high/low rectangle.EndY on the chart and fires the entries from there.BTW it takes long only

In the attached find the snippet starting from ''208'' line.

Hello outsource,

Thank you for your response.

Why not pass the rectangle.EndY to a DataSeries to call it's value from the strategy?

Hi Patrick,

how would you do thay?

Hello outsource,

Here is a basic example.

Indicator:

        #region Variables
		private DataSeries myDataSeries;
        #endregion

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
			myDataSeries = new DataSeries(this);
        }

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			IRectangle rectangle = DrawRectangle("tag1", false, 10, Low[10] - TickSize, 5, High[5] + TickSize, Color.PaleGreen, Color.PaleGreen, 2);
			
			myDataSeries.Set(rectangle.EndY);
        }

        #region Properties
        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore()]
        public DataSeries MyDataSeries
        {
            get { return myDataSeries; }
        }
        #endregion

Any other indicator or strategy that would call the above indicator:

Print(Test1().MyDataSeries[0]);

Thanks Patrick,

two additional questions,if i may:

1)Should i put this line:

 {
                        IRectangle rectangle = DrawRectangle("tag1", false, 10, Low[10] - TickSize, 5, High[5] + TickSize, Color.PaleGreen, Color.PaleGreen, 2);

                        myDataSeries.Set(rectangle.EndY);
        }

after OnStartUp or OnBarUpdate,if i`d want to use it COBC = false?

2)Could you please comment more on this:

Print(Test1().MyDataSeries[0]);

What does the Print and Test1 mean?How do i use it with another indicator or strategy?

Thank you for taking your time to assist!

Hi Patrick,

can you please review the code attahced?

The way i modified it it opens on every bar when i call it via strategy.

The conditions for strategy are:

For Longs -> if(
					   this.Close[0] > this.bvo.BlackBox[0])

do smth.

For Shorts -> if(
					   this.Close[0] < this.bvo.BlackBox[0])

do smth.

What i exactly need with this.,that if the -10 value of the rectangle is broken either above or below.There where should the strategy enter.

The code for you to review is attached.

Thanks for your time!

OnBarUpdate().

Print() prints the values to the Output window, please visit the following link for more information: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h.../nt7/print.htm

Test1 is the name I gave to the indicator, so this is whatever you name your indicator.

can you please review the code attahced?

Can you provide the strategy that you are calling the indicator from?

Hi Patrcik,

thanks for your reply.

Did you reviw the indicator?It still doesn`t work properly.

This line :

Print(Test1().MyDataSeries[0]);

because of the semi ; that closes the code.

The strategy of thousands of lines has nothing to do with what we discuss.as it is designed the way you can put any possible indicator on plsanet,provided it`s coded for that properly.

Entry example logic of my strategy looks like this:

if(
					 this.lii.TopWallReversalSeries[0] == true
					&& setupDirection != 1				
					)
				{																						
					BackColor = Color.FromArgb(50, Color.Lime);

					if(setupDirection != 0)
						this.CancelPendingGrid();
					
					setupDirection = 1;

So can we get that rectangle to work properly?Please,let me know.

Best!
