DrawShape

[Behzadgof]

I have written an EFS code to recognize specific CandleStick patterns. When I add the EFS to my chart it only shows me the last instance of that pattern. I thought it would mark it for all and every time that pattern occures. If I do a tick replay it will happen however it moves my arrow as new instances of that pattern appear. Is this what I am suppose to get or am I doing something wrong. I would appriciate your advice in this matter.

Thank you

Here is my code:


function CandleHammer2(PercentageOfBodytoHighLow,Percentage AboveTheLow)
{


var vOpen=open(-1);
var vHigh=high(-1);
var vLow=low(-1);
var vClose=close(-1);
var vHL;
var vOC;

var vPercentageOfBodytoHighLow= .25; //PercentageOfBodytoHighLow;
var vPercentageAboveTheLow= .75 ; //PercentageAboveTheLow;



vOC=vOpen-vClose;
vHL=vHigh-vLow;



if (Math.abs( vOC) < (vPercentageOfBodytoHighLow*vHL)) /* Diff of Open and close is less than */
{

if (vOpen > ((vPercentageAboveTheLow * vHL) + vLow))
{

drawShapeRelative(0, low(0) -1, Shape.UPARROW, null, Color.RGB(0,255,0), Shape.BOTTOM, "T4") ;

}


}



}

You are only getting one shape drawn (specifically the last one) because you are using only one tagID ie "T4" for all the shapes being drawn.
You need to use a tagID that will be unique to each shape. Replace this line

drawShapeRelative(0, low(0) -1, Shape.UPARROW, null, Color.RGB(0,255,0), Shape.BOTTOM, "T4"); 

with the following

drawShapeRelative(0, low(0) -1, Shape.UPARROW, null, Color.RGB(0,255,0), Shape.BOTTOM, "T4"+rawtime(0)) ; 

Once you implement this change you should be seeing a shape drawn for each event

THank you that worked.

Would you also tell me how I can make my indicator to Flash, meaning as the condition is met it will place an arrow and then as the condition changes it would remove the indicator. This is when setComputeOnClose(false) is false.

Thank you

First of all you need to be aware that setComputeOnClose() does not accept any parameters so even if you use setComputeOnClose(false) it is still enabled.
As to your question see the example enclosed below.
Alex

if(myCondition){
    drawShapeXxx(...,..., "tagID"+rawtime(0));
}else{
    removeShape("tagID"+rawtime(0));
}
