I am trying to code an indicator to change the indicator color using a "if" conditional statement with no success.

PHP Code:


			
if(PeakUp==True)

{

#property indicator_color4 Lime

}

if(PeakUp==True)

{

#property indicator_color3 CLR_NONE

}





if(PeakUp==False)

{

#property indicator_color4 CLR_NONE

}

if(PeakUp==False)



{

#property indicator_color3 Red

}

Can anybody help??

:: you can't use "property" in a code, just use "color" to a normal variable name in your if statement. like... color indic.1=Lime

:: then use the color outcome in a SetIndexStyle() (look this up in you manual) but will be like...
SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_LINE,0,0,indic.1);

:: put all of this in your init() function

:: check in your manual where & how the #property must be placed, they have different aspects to consider.

Start by selected Hours and Time.

It seems as if this function is working.

The other option i like to have is:

Does anyone know of a way to lock in the first occurrence of the value of OrderOpenPrice()?

for example double x=OrderOpenPrice(); but I never want the values to change
upon sale of the order or renewing the order

I need x to act as a reference point

any help greatly appreciated

thankyou

You could either write the price as a comment then move it to each order until such time as you want to change it, use a global variable or write to file.

Hi,

I have an EA that calls an indicator which tells me if the price is at a swing high/low. It works fine on the current bar, so for e.g if its a pinbar and its at a swing high/low then my EA creates a buy/sell entry. Its works great as long as my EA picks up pinbars. But its no good if I need to make the entry on say an inside bar at a swing high/low because the high/low bar as passed.

This code will work for the close of the first bar but I need the code to work for close of the second or third. In other words I need a way for my EA to remember that the price is at the high/low for a few bars after the high/low.

(prevtime != Time[0])
{
DeleteSellLimit();
}
prevtime = Time[0];

PHP Code:


			
#property indicator_color1 Magenta
#property indicator_color2 Yellow


extern bool TrendDirectionUp=true;

string Color1;
string Color2;

int init()  {

if(TrendDirectionUp==true){
Color1=Yellow;
Color2=CLR_NONE;
}

if(TrendDirectionUp==false){
Color1=CLR_NONE;
Color2=Magenta;
}

   SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_ARROW,0,star_size,Color1);
   SetIndexStyle(1,DRAW_ARROW,0,star_size,Color2);
   SetIndexArrow(0,172);//333
   SetIndexArrow(1,172);//334
   SetIndexBuffer(0,b1);
   SetIndexBuffer(1,b2);

   return(0);
}

Right now, both Color(s) 1 & 2 show 'black' on the graph!!

Can any expert Guru help me solve this issue???

Thanks in Advance!
