Help With An EL Learning Exercise

Hi All

I'm starting the process of learning EL and have been watching videos, reading the manuals, and making simple modifications to existing indicators in Multicharts. Most of the mods have gone well, but one is kinda puzzling. I took the Pivot High and Pivot Low indicators and combined them in one script. It works fine for a while, finding and plotting the proper pivots, then at a random moment, the pivots are displaced vertically on the chart. I've attached two images, one shows them working and the other, not.



 
Code
inputs: 
	PriceHi ( High ), 
	PriceLo ( Low ),
	LeftStrength( 3 ), 
	RightStrength( 3 );
	
condition1 = PivotHighVSBar( 1, PriceHi, LeftStrength, RightStrength, RightStrength + 1 ) <> -1 ;
if condition1 then begin
	Plot1[RightStrength]( High[RightStrength], "PivotHi" ) ; 
	once print (PriceHi) ;
	Alert ;
once Print (condition1);
	end
else
	NoPlot( 1 ) ;

condition2 = PivotLowVSBar( 1, PriceLo, LeftStrength, RightStrength, RightStrength + 1 ) <> -1 ;
if condition2 then begin
	Plot2[RightStrength]( Low[RightStrength], "PivotLo" ) ;
	Alert ;
once Print (condition2);
	end
else
	NoPlot( 1 ) ;

TrendFirst,

check the last line of your script, you allow the low pivot to remove high pivot plots.

Ah. I knew it was something silly. Thank you.

One other question.....during debugging I was attempting to print out the pivots. Apparently I don't know how to identify/describe them, because the numbers I was getting were not the same pivots that plotted on the chart. Here is my print statement for the high pivots:

 
Code
Print (condition1);
Print (PivotHi);

Any idea why this wouldn't give the correct pivots?

TrendFirst,

in the code you posted there is no variable named PivotHi, so trying to print a non existing variable should result in an error message from the compiler. For the high pivot you can print at the same point where you wrote "once print (PriceHi)", but instead use
 
Code
Print("PivotHi: " + High[RightStrength]);
