Hi,

This code works but it is very sloppy. Can some EasyLanguage genius polish this up and code it properly? Right now it only plots when the end time has come. Also it's super slow when plot TodayOnly is false. It's supposed to look like this:




Thanks.

Text_SetFontName ??
Text_SetSize ??

These are not normal TS Reserved words up through build 25 of 9.1

Also, it is super helpful to programmers to have a project outline of what the indicator is required to do.

It's for MultiCharts instead of Tradestation. The indicator is supposed to plot the opening range for a desired span of time which can be input in the input section of the indicator.

Then it's supposed to plot two more lines at a desired value above and below the opening range, also indicated in the input section of the indicator.

Then it's supposed to plot another 2 lines at a different desired value above and below the opening range, again indicated in the input section.

Finally, using the previous days high, low and close, it's supposed to plot 3 pivot lines, the daily pivot, the pivot high and the pivot low.

The other inputs are just for formatting of the lines and text. The indicator basically plots Mark Fisher's ACD method.

I am new here so not sure why it is that people post into the TradeStation forum for code for MultiCharts when there is a MultiCharts section ?

I know that code can port, but unless a person has both TradeStation and MultiCharts, which I do, then they would be of limited usage to only code that can port and then the programmer wouldn't be able to check and verify the results of their code sets

Note to those who use TradeStation:
You can change font sizes and types by using the new Font class within TradeStation

MultiCharts users post here because when you click on the link with the arrow, you end up here. I only have MC.

Ok so the forum pushes you to here as a hyperlink. Not sure why that would be other than the code porting ability, but it is what it is. I had another person requesting help and I provided some of my valuable time to write code that in the end the person couldn't use because they were actually needing it for MultiCharts. Outside of being of some help to some other person unassociated with the topic who is actually needing similar solution in EasyLanguage then it seems to be an inapproriate use of my time to provide any help at all here.

Because we don't need two EasyLanguage forums. EasyLanguage is TradeStation's so it falls under their name on the forum.

Look at the persons profile which is to the left of their post. It will clearly say what platform they are using.

I suppose that I don't consider MultiCharts language as EasyLanguage is the confusion. I treat the two platforms as separate from one another.
