Indicator lines (2 colors)
16 Feb 2016, 02:21
Is there any hack to color the overbough & oversold parts with different colors than the rest of the line ?
I.e normal color : green .. overbought : red
I tried filling these areas with vertical lines .. but it looks horrible .

RE:

it does catch some values outside the range (30-70 or whatever the range)
If you want to filter that, you might apply this method, although it's kinda sketchy.
using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;
namespace cAlgo
{
[Levels(20, 80)]
[Indicator(IsOverlay = false, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
public class StochasticColored : Indicator
{
[Output("Result", Color = Colors.Gray)]
public IndicatorDataSeries Result { get; set; }
[Output("Overbought", Color = Colors.LimeGreen, Thickness = 2, PlotType = PlotType.DiscontinuousLine)]
public IndicatorDataSeries Overbought { get; set; }
[Output("Oversold", Color = Colors.Red, Thickness = 2, PlotType = PlotType.DiscontinuousLine)]
public IndicatorDataSeries Oversold { get; set; }
private StochasticOscillator stoch;
protected override void Initialize()
{
stoch = Indicators.StochasticOscillator(9, 3, 9, MovingAverageType.Simple);
}
public override void Calculate(int index)
{
Result[index] = stoch.PercentK.LastValue;
// Overbought
if (Result[index] > 80)
{
if (Result[index - 1] < 80)
Overbought[index - 1] = 80;
Overbought[index] = Result[index];
}
else if (Result[index - 1] > 80 && Result[index] < 80)
Overbought[index] = 80;
// Oversold
if (Result[index] < 20)
{
if (Result[index - 1] > 20)
Oversold[index - 1] = 20;
Oversold[index] = Result[index];
}
else if (Result[index - 1] < 20 && Result[index] > 20)
Oversold[index] = 20;
}
}
}

Hey, here is workaround I use. Notice that I define previous value of series as well to make sure discontinuous line are plotted properly.
using System; using cAlgo.API; using cAlgo.API.Internals; using cAlgo.API.Indicators; using cAlgo.Indicators; namespace cAlgo { [Levels(20, 80)] [Indicator(IsOverlay = false, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)] public class StochasticColored : Indicator { [Output("Result", Color = Colors.Gray)] public IndicatorDataSeries Result { get; set; } [Output("Overbought", Color = Colors.LimeGreen, Thickness = 2, PlotType = PlotType.DiscontinuousLine)] public IndicatorDataSeries Overbought { get; set; } [Output("Oversold", Color = Colors.Red, Thickness = 2, PlotType = PlotType.DiscontinuousLine)] public IndicatorDataSeries Oversold { get; set; } private StochasticOscillator stoch; protected override void Initialize() { stoch = Indicators.StochasticOscillator(9, 3, 9, MovingAverageType.Simple); } public override void Calculate(int index) { Result[index] = stoch.PercentK.LastValue; if (Result[index] > 80) { Overbought[index - 1] = Result[index - 1]; Overbought[index] = Result[index]; } if (Result[index] < 20) { Oversold[index - 1] = Result[index - 1]; Oversold[index] = Result[index]; } } } }Result:
