alert once per bar

[cgnahc]

Been testing the new code and I'm still experiencing color bar problems. When triggered, the current bar is white. When I let it run, all the previous bars loose their color characteristics... reloading will solve the previous no color bar problem, but not the current bar problem.

Can someone check the code to fix the color bar problem?

any luck with a fix?

brad,

Yes, I'm using candlesticks...sorry. Well, I downloaded again and loaded today. Still getting white current candlestick when triggered. (I used it on qqq and spy 15 min) Could it be the version? I'm using build 544. I verified on qqq after FOMC today.

Possible Solution...

I don't know what it is about this script, but the color functions mess everything up on the chart. Unless I am missing something here, once you set "setColorPriceBars(true)" and begin coloring price bars....

If you fail to force a color for a price bar, it is drawn white (even if it is an up or down bar). When I added code to force an up candle to be drawn in white - the wicks were not visible on a white background.

So, not being able to resolve this using the COLORBAR functions, I converted it to color the background of the chart. This way, your candles are perfect and the background of the chart changes with your signals.

I will email esignal about this for assistance..

Here you go.

hmmm,

interesting concept...coloring the background as the visual trigger. I'll load it for tomorrow and see. Thanks for all your help Brad. Please keep me updated about what you find from esignal. You can always email me. Goin to the online conference at Las Vegas next week...if eSignal is there, I bring it up.

I believe the "white bar effect" can be eliminated by setting a default price bar color.

setDefaultPriceBarColor(Color.black);

Alternatively (I've seen this be more consistent), you can code the default color through the code...

vColor = null;

function main(nDefaultColor) {

    if (condition1 == true) {
        vColor = Color.green;
        
    } else if {condition2 == true) {
        vColor = Color.red;
        
    } else {
        vColor = Color.black; // sets default color
        
    }

    setPriceBarColor(vColor);
    
}
