I have 2 realcodes for hammers I use - when I use one it works correctly but when I use the other it opens in a separate pane and just shows a zig zag within the pane. What am I doing wrong? Both work fine in sf4

If it is the RealCode Indicator from my Wednesday, November 25, 2009 8:48:59 AM ET post in How to put graphic on top of price bars?, the instructions at the bottom of the post should still work in StockFinder 5.

No - the code is below and now when I open either of them I get a separate zig zag in its own panel.

Hammer code
If Price.High - Price.Open <= (Price.High - Price.Low) / 3 AndAlso _
Price.High - Price.Last <= (Price.High - Price.Low) / 3 AndAlso _
Price.High > Price.Low Then
Plot = Price.Low - .05
Else
Plot = Single.NaN
End If
Inverted Hammer
If Price.Open - Price.Low <= (Price.High - Price.Low) / 3 AndAlso _
Price.Last - Price.Low <= (Price.High - Price.Low) / 3 AndAlso _
Price.High > Price.Low Then
Plot = Price.High - .7
Else
Plot = Single.NaN
End If

The first RealCode Indicator is exactly what was given in my post and the second RealCode is the modification you mentioned in your Wednesday, November 25, 2009 5:35:58 PM ET post in the same topic (How to put graphic on top of price bars?).
You still need to follow the directions given with the original RealCode Indicator to Plot it as a Shape Plot in the desired Pane (my Wednesday, November 25, 2009 8:48:59 AM ET post).
QUOTE (Bruce_L) The above just Plots at a nickel below the Low when the Rule would have returned True (you could change this Value) and doesn't Plot otherwise. Left-click on the Indicator to bring up the Main tab of its Edit window and change the Plot Style to Shape to get it Plot Shapes at these Points. You will probably want to Drag and Drop the Indicator to the Price History Pane and select Overlay and then right-click on the Indicator and select Scaling | Scale With | Price History to get it into the same Pane as Scale as Price History.
If you don't, it just Plots as a Line Plot in its own Pane and in its own Scale.

Sorry wa not clear Bruce. I only want to paint the bar (I decided against the graphic). Either way I cannot get it to just do that.

You could just make a RealCode Condition out of the If Then statement portion of the RealCode and then right-click on the Condition and select Paint.
If Price.High - Price.Open <= (Price.High - Price.Low) / 3 AndAlso _
Price.High - Price.Last <= (Price.High - Price.Low) / 3 AndAlso _
Price.High > Price.Low Then Pass

Click the Add Indicator / Condition button in the upper left corner of the chart. Has a green + sign on it. Then select New RealCode Condtion, name it, and paste in the following code:
If Price.High - Price.Open <= (Price.High - Price.Low) / 3 AndAlso _
Price.High - Price.Last <= (Price.High - Price.Low) / 3 AndAlso _
Price.High > Price.Low Then Pass
Click OK and that will put the condition on the chart. Then right-click on the condition on the chart and select Paint. If you need to edit the color for more contrast, right-click on the condition on the chart and select Edit.

I'm baaaack ...
Is it possible to have them BOTH work at the same time? I know that it's not possible to scan but bar painting green 4 long and red 4 short should be doable.
Here is my long code and under it my short code:
If Price.High - Price.Open <= (Price.High - Price.Low) / 3 AndAlso _
Price.High - Price.Last <= (Price.High - Price.Low) / 3 AndAlso _
Price.High > Price.Low Then Pass
If Price.Open - Price.Low <= (Price.High - Price.Low) / 3 AndAlso _
Price.Last - Price.Low <= (Price.High - Price.Low) / 3 AndAlso _
Price.High > Price.Low Then Pass

OzAsh,
If you right-click on both Conditions on the Chart and select Paint for both Conditions, they will both Paint.

Bruce - maybe a potential bug here. When I did as you suggested I got both bars (red/short green/long) together but switched over to a different chart then back again and could only get one to work at a time.

If you want to paint by two conditions at the same time, drag them onto the Paint Scheme button. The right click - paint option is an exclusive painting choice, meaning you can only have 1 of those active at the same time. To paint by multiple conditions simply drag them onto the Paint scheme button (on the left side of the price history pane) or drag them onto the price plot itself and choose add to paint scheme.
