using System.Drawing;
using WealthLab;
using WealthLab.Indicators;

namespace WealthLab.Strategies { public class BarPatternsDemo : WealthScript { protected override void Execute() { for(int bar = 1; bar < Bars.Count; bar++) { if( this.isGapUp(bar) && this.isGap(bar) == CommonSignalsEx.GapType.FullUp ) AnnotateBar( "Gap Up", bar, true, Color.Blue ); if( this.isGapDown(bar) && this.isGap(bar) == CommonSignalsEx.GapType.FullDown ) AnnotateBar( "Gap Down", bar, false, Color.Red); } } } }
