Indicator does not Refresh

[perrydolia]

I have written an indicator for coloring the price bars. It works fine until I type in a new symbol. When the new symbol's data displays, the indicator is not visible, instead the default red/green bars are shown.

If I reload the indicator, it does not show. But, I know it is reloading, because I have tried changing the screen name, and the screen name is revised when the indicator reloads, but not the price bar coloring.

If I go to Edit Studies and click Apply, the indicator shows.

If the session is active, sometimes the indicator shows after 30 secs.

How do I get the the indicator to continue to show when I change the symbol?

I have included the code, below.

Thanks for any help. Gnossos

**********************************

var hL=0;
var lH=0;
var upsw=0;
var SwLine=0;

function preMain() {
setStudyTitle("NoiseBar");
setCursorLabelName("NoiseBar",0);
setPriceStudy(true);
}

function main() {
if(hL==0) hL=low(); //set initial values for hL and lH
if(lH==0) lH=high();

if(upsw==1) {
if(low()>hL) hL=low();

if(high()<hL) { //swing turns to down
upsw=0;
lH=high();
}

}

if(upsw==0) {
if(high()<lH) lH=high();

if(low()>lH) { //swing turns to up
upsw=1;
hL=low();
}

}

if(upsw==1) {

setPriceBarColor(Color.lime);
if(low()<hL) setPriceBarColor(Color.grey);
}

if(upsw==0) {

setPriceBarColor(Color.red);
if(high()>lH) setPriceBarColor(Color.grey);
}
}

Re: Indicator does not Refresh

Whenever you use setPriceBarColor() in a script you also need to use the following statements in preMain()
setColorPriceBars(true)
setDefaultPriceBarColor(your_color)
For more information see this article in the EFS KnowledgeBase
