simple efs help

[opstock]

Could someone show me how to get my signals to update with each tick. Right now they come on and stay on even if the bar finishes without the conditions being met. Thanks for any help!

See the example provided in this thread on the same problem.

Alex, thanks. I inserted the code as you suggested in that thread, but i'm getting and error. The formual output window is telling me that I have an "Invalid number of arguments (7) for removeShape", but I don't. I copy and pasted the exact tag id from my drawShapeRelative...

drawShapeRelative(0, low()-1, Shape.SQUARE, "", Color.fushcia, Shape.TOP);
} else {
removeShape(0, low()-1, Shape.SQUARE, "", Color.fushcia, Shape.TOP);}

any thoughts

The removeShape() command has only one parameter ie the tagID of the shape that you want to remove [see the link to the corresponding article in the EFS KnowledgeBase]
You will also need to add a tagID in the drawShapeRelative() command [for the complete syntax of this function see the link to the corresponding article in the EFS KnowledgeBase]

OK, thanks so much alex, I thought the tag meant the six parameters for the drawShapeRelative. So I will need to add a tag ID with it's own variable and include a CURRENT_BARSTATE? Am I on the right track at all, lol?

As the tagID just use a string and concatenate to it the current value of rawtime which is constant throughout the bar and is unique to each bar eg "myString"+rawtime(0)
Then use the same tagID in the removeShape() command

Thanks Alex, I will keep reading the knowledge base and tried to find examples of what you're talking about.
