RT_OutsideBarAlert

[Rana]

Hi
Need some help with Insert Study/Formula/Pattern/RT_OutsideBarAlert

I'd like 2 little changes in this script.
1. I would only prefer to see the arrow on top of outside bar rather than colour change of whole bar.
2. Current script changes the thin wick of all candles to thick and I prefer to see the candles with thin wicks.

Either of these 2 changes will make me very happy.

Regards

Try the following script.
It uses color arrows instead of changing the bar color.



var bNewBar = false;
var bAlert = false;

function preMain() {
setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("Real Time Outside Bar");
setShowCursorLabel(false);
setShowTitleParameters(false);

var fp2 = new FunctionParameter("bEnable", FunctionParameter.BOOLEAN);
fp2.setName("Enable Alerts");
fp2.setDefault(true);


}

var xOpen = null;
var xHigh = null;
var xLow = null;
var xClose = null;
var bInit = false;

function main(bEnable, cColor, cUpColor, cDownColor) {
if (getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) bNewBar = true;

if(!bInit){
xOpen = open();
xHigh = high();
xLow = low();
xClose = close();
bInit = true;
}

var nOpen = xOpen.getValue(0);
var nHigh = xHigh.getValue(0);
var nHigh_1 = xHigh.getValue(-1);
var nLow = xLow.getValue(0);
var nLow_1 = xLow.getValue(-1);
var nClose = xClose.getValue(0);

if(nHigh_1 == null || nLow_1 == null) return;

if (nHigh > nHigh_1 && nLow < nLow_1 ) bAlert = true;


if (bAlert == true) {
drawShapeRelative(0, high()+(0.005*high()), Shape.RIGHTARROW, "", Color.RGB(0,0,255), Shape.TOP)
if (bEnable == true && bNewBar == true) {
Alert.playSound("pop.wav");
Alert.addToList(getSymbol(), "Outside Bar", cColor, Color.white);
bNewBar = false;
}
bAlert = false;
} else {
if (nClose >= nOpen)
drawShapeRelative(0, high()+(0.005*high()), Shape.UPARROW, "", Color.RGB(0,255,0), Shape.TOP)
else
drawShapeRelative(0, low()-(0.005*low()), Shape.DOWNARROW, "", Color.RGB(255,0,0), Shape.TOP)
}

return;
}

Thank you so much for this. With some effort I also managed to only see the Blue arrows (No red and Green arrows for up and down bars) and this perfectly solved my problem.

Cheers
