  HI

  am looking for help on regards the DRAWRECTANGLE function

  Would like to paint a rectangle between two prices. e.g. 1 and 2.

  and the width of the rectangle should be from OPEN to CLose (or 5 bars into the future)

  Somehow I cant get this managed with Barindex and co,

  Can someone help me ?

  A rectangle is plotted according to two coordinates:

  • price (from price 1 to price 2)
  • bars (from bar 1 to bar 2), which can also be in the future, if you like.

  The line width is specified by a numeric constant, not a price:

  DEFPARAM DrawOnLastBarOnly = True ONCE Price1 = 0 ONCE Price2 = 0 ONCE Bar1 = 0 ONCE Bar2 = 0 IF (Time >= 090000) AND (Time <= 210000) THEN IF Time = 090000 THEN Price1 = open Bar1 = BarIndex ENDIF Price2 = close Bar2 = BarIndex ENDIF IF Price1 <> 0 THEN DrawRectangle(Bar1,Price1,Bar2,Price2) coloured("Grey",25) BorderColor("Fuchsia",255) style(Line,3) ENDIF RETURN

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

  DEFPARAM DrawOnLastBarOnly = True ONCE Price1 = 0 ONCE Price2 = 0 ONCE Bar1   = 0 ONCE Bar2   = 0 IF (Time >= 090000) AND (Time <= 210000) THEN    IF Time = 090000 THEN       Price1 = open       Bar1   = BarIndex    ENDIF    Price2 = close    Bar2   = BarIndex ENDIF IF Price1 <> 0 THEN    DrawRectangle(Bar1,Price1,Bar2,Price2) coloured("Grey",25) BorderColor("Fuchsia",255) style(Line,3) ENDIF RETURN

  Thanks.. i solved it like this

  defparam DRAWONLASTBARONLY = true

  mintimeFrame = 9

  if GetTimeFrame/60 >= minTimeFrame then

  maxCheck = 50
  i = 0
  lastOuterBar = -1

  lastLow = low[maxcheck]
  lastHigh = high[maxcheck]

  for i = maxCheck-1 downto 0
  if open[i] >= lastHigh or open[i] =< lastLow or close[i] >= lastHigh or close[i] =< lastLow then
  lastLow = low[i]
  lastHigh = high[i]
  lastOuterBar = i
  endif
  next

  if lastOuterBar > 0 then

  x1 = barindex
  y1 = high[lastOuterBar] //high[barindex+1]
  x2 = barindex-lastOuterBar
  y2 = low[lastOuterBar]//low[barindex+1]
  DRAWRECTANGLE(x1, y1, x2,y2) coloured(255,155,0)FILLCOLOR(255,255,230)
  endif
  endif

  RETURN
