I haven't watched it in real time, but I think all the problems are fixed. I also renamed it because it technically is different than mopere's original and so people don't get confused it they like the original better. Thanks again @ monpere for your help.

Hi vegasfoster, I have now watched this a few days in real time and it looks the opening bar stochastics range plots are not quite right... actually it seems to be only the 'reversing' direction stoch range plot that is too 'wide' and it doesn't correct even when the price bar developes. When I push F5 (Reload Ninjascript) it does correct, however. Not a big deal, I can always use F5 when a new bar opens, but just wanted to report this bug if it's easy to correct.

Thanks again for a great indicator!

Yeah, thanks for the heads up. Max pointed that out to me yesterday, I just haven't had a chance to look at it. Will try to fix it later today unless someone beats me to it. I am using the JtRangeMarker code and my skills are limited so I may need help to fix it, not sure yet.

So, the plot is being reset each bar to the prior K value, but the input to the plot is not being reset in the same fashion to the prior Close value so we are essentially having the same problem as before. Monpere's fix to reset the K value works on a data series, but the input was not a data series. So I went back to using a dataseries for the input but what I am doing is not working.

I need the prior hinput value to be "Close[1]" and the current value to be "Low[0] + (Bars.Period.Value+1)*TickSize" so that I can feed it into the rest of the calculations. I don't know how to do it, so any help would be appreciated, thank you.

This is what I am trying.

Code

 
if ( FirstTickOfBar && CurrentBar > 0 ) 
{
hinput.Set(1, Close[1]);
linput.Set(1, Close[1]);
} 
 
elseif ( onRangeClose && CurrentBar == Bars.Count-1 ) 
 
{
//### Draw Next Range Bar price markers

if ( Bars.Period.Id == PeriodType.Range || Bars.ToString().Contains("Kase") ) 
{
hinput.Set(Low[0] + (Bars.Period.Value+1)*TickSize); //### Bar Extreme
linput.Set(High[0] - (Bars.Period.Value+1)*TickSize); //### Bar Extreme
}
 
else
if ( Bars.ToString().Contains("RangeNoGap") ) 
{
hinput.Set(Low[0] + (Bars.Period.Value+1)*TickSize); //### Bar Extreme
linput.Set(High[0] - (Bars.Period.Value+1)*TickSize); //### Bar Extreme
}
 
}

I added a couple of lines to reset the previous bar values of the projected High/Low plots to the values of the normal plot. That's quick and dirty to take care of that problem. If you are only looking at the projected high and low close plots to make decisions, then I would suggest only plotting those, and eliminating the middle plot to save memory and processing time for each running instance of the indicator.

Do you still use this indicator? If so how has it been working for you? Do you know if all the bugs ever got worked out?

I don;t use this particular indicator. I just provided a workaround for the issue he was having with the normal plotting. Later he was trying to do something else, but I did not understand what he was trying to do.
