Shading an Area on a CCI Indicator

[dwalls]

Hello,
I am looking for help with shading an area on the CCI.
For example: Shade the area between the +50 and the -50 lines.
Were I could chose a color and opacity.

Thanks for any help.

dwalls,

Have you tried using DrawRegion()?

Hi,
Thx Josh.
I have tried this but it wont compile. Any ideas?

{
DrawRegion("Shaded 50", CurrentBar, 0, CCI(14)(50), CCI(14)(-50), Color.Empty, Color.Blue, 2);
}

Is it close?

Thanks

CCI(14)(50), CCI(14)(-50)
You will need to change these.

CCI(14)[50]

Not sure what you want with -50. You cannot access into the future. If you want it to stop painting within 50 bars into the future you can run an if-statement that keeps redrawing it until 50 bars have passed then stops.

Thx Josh,
I am trying to shade the area between the 50's like in the attached screenshot. I just used the Rectangle tool to draw the shaded area on the screenshot to show you. Dont I need to use [-50] in there some how?

Thanks

You need to input that in differently. You need to use an if-statement to determine that the CCI value is between the 50s.

if (CCI(14)[0] > -50 || CCI(14)[0] < 50)

You need to determine which range you want to color. Do you want CCI to the -50 line or CCI to the 50 line? It becomes a little funky as the CCI flip flops and that is something you will need to work out on your own.

Thx Josh,
I think I'm being a little misunderstood.
It doesnt really matter where the value of the CCI(14) is at.
It's value would not be a factor in the shading.
I'm just trying to have a permanent/set shade or color in the area between the +50 line and the -50 line on the CCI indicator, as a colored area/zone of caution for example.

Does that make sense.

Thanks for your help.

Use DrawOnPricePanel = false in Initialize() and then shade the range with the appropriate values.

Thx Josh,
I'm having a hard time with this one, its probably simple and its just me.
Could you please help me with a code example of how shading a range between two values of an indicator would work.
Thanks for your time.

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

Please find the attached indicator.
