Indicator mark inside and outside bars.
Code: Select all `function Init() indicator:name(“Inside/outside bar Indicator”); indicator:description(“Inside/outside bar Indicator”); indicator:requiredSource(core.Bar); indicator:type(core.Indicator); indicator.parameters:addColor(“clrIn”, “Inside bar color”, “Inside bar color”, core.rgb(255, 255, 0)); indicator.parameters:addColor(“clrOut”, “Outside bar color”, “Outside bar color”, core.rgb(0, 0, 255)); end
local first; local source = nil; local buffIn; local buffOut;
function Prepare() source = instance.source; Percent=instance.parameters.Percent; MaxPeriod=instance.parameters.MaxPeriod; first = source:first()+2; local name = profile:id() .. “(“ .. source:name() .. “)”; instance:name(name); buffIn = instance:createTextOutput (“Inside”, “Inside”, “Wingdings”, 10, core.H_Center, core.V_Center, instance.parameters.clrIn, first); buffOut = instance:createTextOutput (“Outside”, “Outside”, “Wingdings”, 10, core.H_Center, core.V_Center, instance.parameters.clrOut, first); end
function Update(period, mode) if (period>first) then if source.high[period]>source.high[period-1] and source.low[period]<source.low[period-1] then buffOut:set(period, source.high[period], “\159”, “”); end if source.high[period]<source.high[period-1] and source.low[period]>source.low[period-1] then buffIn:set(period, source.low[period], “\159”, “”); end end end`

Hi guys nice one but it is little confusing. It is not possible to do it more easy with only letter above or below the candle. for outside it will be O for inside it will be I and for same open it will be T? Because I was trading several years on MT4 and now I have change it ti TS2 and Green and red candle is very important for me
thx

This is a great indicator, however with the new version of 01.13.092613 of the FXCM Trading Station there is a small but annoying problem. When a chart is opened with the indicator it looks messed up
By pressing ‘Bid’ or ‘Ask’ the effect disappears. It worked fine with the previous version of TS. Can this be fixed?
Thanks in advance.

Which version you use. 1, 2 or 3rd Try to show this with only Inside / Outside added to chart.

Apprentice, thanks for your answer,
I use Insideoutsidebar2. After some research I found the following:
- the problem does not happen with new layouts, created after the new Trading Station release.
- if I eliminate all indicators except Insideoutsidebar2 in a layout created with the previous release of Trading Station the effect happens.
Is there any way to get rid of the problem besides creating all layouts from scratch?

I love this indicator and I’m hoping there is either one I’ve not yet found or this one could be updated to also include the option to change the colour (in exactly the same way this one does) of candles that have opened and closed in the top third and candles that have opened and closed in the bottom third (i.e. hanging mans and shooting stars that are defined by an open and close price in the top or bottom third of a candle and therefore have a shadow that is at least two thirds of the candle). This would be useful to me because I’m very strict about measuring these candles and reject any that have not specifically opened and closed within the top or bottom third and I’m sick of measuring
I recognise this would be outside the definition of this indicator, therefore maybe a divergent version might be more appropriate, but either way it would be extremely useful to me.
Many thanks for a great indicator.

So your request is to have a hanging man and shooting stars indicator. The presentation is to be candle coloring
Is so can do provide rules, or provide web reference to the definition for two.
