I have constructed the following code that I want to plot only on a direction chane in the average:

If PlotSlow=True and Displace >= 0 or CurrentBar > AbsValue( Displace ) then
begin
If Value2[2]<=Value2[1] and Value2>=Value2[1] then
Plot6(Low-Offset,"Up") else
if Value2[2]>Value2[1] and (Value2 < Value2[1]) then
Plot7(High+Offset,"Dn") else
NoPlot(6);

I only want a single plot when the condition is true but I get plots most of the time.

Where am I wrong here. Cannot see the forest for the trees sort of question.

the following can be interpreted multiple ways:

If PlotSlow=True and Displace >= 0 or CurrentBar > AbsValue( Displace ) then


suggestion:
use brackets to isolate multiple/complex Boolean logics.

Special thanks for all the assistance you have given me over various posts Tams. Whilst my programming skills are very weak you have assisted me to struggle through several issues such that I have ultimately achieved my original objective with several indicators.

My current issue relates an adaption of the jtHMA to have showme's plotted only when the the MA changes from up to down and vice versa.

This code:

"Displace >= 0 or CurrentBar > AbsValue( Displace ) then "

was lifted directly from the jtHMA code. Commenting it out does not seem to change my output result one way or other, that I can see.

I am getting plots above and below each bar rather than just on the bar where the MA changes from up to down and vice versa.

I have attached a screenshot of my code and the output.

Sorry...here is the attachment

If PlotSlow=True and Displace >= 0 or CurrentBar > AbsValue( Displace ) then
begin

If Value2[2]<=Value2[1] and Value2>=Value2[1] then
Plot6(Low-Offset,"Up") {<--- this plots below}

else
if Value2[2]>Value2[1] and (Value2 < Value2[1]) then
Plot7(High+Offset,"Dn") {<--- this plots above}

else
NoPlot(6);

try this:


If PlotSlow=True and Displace >= 0 or CurrentBar > AbsValue( Displace ) then
begin
If (Value2[2]<=Value2[1] and Value2>=Value2[1] )
or
(Value2[2]>Value2[1] and (Value2 < Value2[1])) then
Plot7(High+Offset,"Dn") else
NoPlot(6);

Thanks once again.
I copied your code but the result is unchanged.

[Tams]

did you copy the whole thing in post #6?

can you draw a mock up to illustrate how you want it plot?
