Hey guys,


I'm relatively new to coding etc and have made the attached indicator.


It's a wave based on 2 moving averages that uses DrawRegion to color it self (Up/Down/Flat).

if (angleCheck >= slope*.1*TickSize)
{DrawRegion("DrawRegion"+CurrentBar,1, 0, maWaveFast, maWaveSlow, Color.Transparent, upColour, opacity);
}
if (angleCheck <= -slope*.1*TickSize)
{
DrawRegion("DrawRegion"+CurrentBar,1, 0, maWaveFast, maWaveSlow, Color.Transparent, downColour, opacity);
}
if (angleCheck < slope*.1*TickSize && angleCheck > -slope*.1*TickSize)
{
DrawRegion("DrawRegion"+CurrentBar,1, 0, maWaveFast, maWaveSlow, Color.Transparent, flatColour, opacity);
}

If you refer to the attached image: "Example.jpg"
*You can see that the coloring starts in the middle of candle A and colors to candle B.
*I would like the candle coloring to start where 'A' is, however finish where line 'C' is. "Eg; color between bars not on the actual bar" (a second example of how I'd like to do the coloring is in attachment: Example2.jpg -- based on where- where the vertical lines are)


I thought it may be able to be done somehow with:
"ChartControl.GetXByBarIdx(Bars, CurrentBar) - (ChartControl.BarSpace/2)"

However, I am not sure where to being etc.


Is anyone able to please assist me with this? would be greatly appreciated


Thanks,
Techoli

when you choose Export ninja indicator, it creates a zip file version of the indicator

Sorry, yes, I didn't notice that I uploaded the cs file. I have attached the .zip version.


Fat Tails recommended that I try the TriggerLines indicator. I had a look at that one and the coloring aligns with the candles still.

My goal is to color the wave in-between candles. I hand-made a picture of what I'm trying to achieve regarding the coloring between candles (attached). I think this is done by overriding plot. However, no idea where to start.

Another option (untested by me) may be to add another data series at twice the sampling rate (IE: if main series 1 minute candle, add 30 second candles), hide the added data series by setting it to line on close and turning the line color then to transparent (make sure to overlay as well in same panel). Then using your logic on the main data series to determine the colors, actuate the drawregion using the secondary series which should have candles between your main series.

I'll give that a shot, also will try a couple other ideas and let you know how i progress.
