Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] Problem with the IF function

["Roy Larsen" <rlarsen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Fernando

 

 

Adding in the line below will give an additional output when plot=3. when plot<>3 this line will return N/A. There is no way you can force an If() function on its own to plot more than one output.

 

ValueWhen(1,plot=3,OPEN);

 

As for the colours that an indicator uses, once assigned separate colours individual plots will change colour as plots are added or removed. For example, if your indicator was set up to plot its 3 outputs as RED, WHITE and BLUE (first, second and third plots), if one plot is disabled (as with the ValueWhen() example above) the indicator will only use colours WHITE and BLUE. If only one plot is enabled it will be BLUE. I think that ensuring that colours remain consistent becomes a matter of properly choosing where each output is located relative to the other outputs. However, you might not want to make the last output one that can return N/A because this makes it impossible to read off values in the data window or with the cursor placed over the indicator.

 

Hope this helps.

 

 

Regards

 

Roy

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Problem with the IF function

Considering this:

{ User Inputs }
plot:=Input("plot: [1]Hi/Lo [2]Open [3]All",1,3,3);

{ Plot in own window }
if(plot=1,HighP,if(plot=2,OpenP,HighP));
if(plot=1,LowP,if(plot=2,OpenP,LowP));

How can I include now the Open so when plot=3 he plots all(the High,
the Low and the Open)?

I'm banging my head on the table for the past hour and I just can't
see the solution.

Another question, when plot=2 I color it green so I can distinguish it
from the high and the low but when plot=1 the Low is the green color
instead of red. Shouldn't the green color be used only for the open,
since that was the color I chose for it? Is this issue related with
the way the IF function was written above?
