hi
I am trying to create marking of the bid & ask price on the chart, works, see my code:
Code
variables: var0( 0 ),var1( 0 ) ;
Input: offset(3);
if GetAppInfo( aiRealTimeCalc ) = 1 then
begin
var0 = InsideBid ;
var1 = InsideAsk ;
Plot1[-offset]( var0, "Bid");
Plot2[-offset]( var1, "Ask");
end ;
...this displays two dots in front of the bar showing the bid&ask, but....
I only want to show those for the current bar and get rid of the past ones on the chart in order not to leave a useless trail of bid&ask markets behind
help anyone thx!!!

aczk,
here is a quick and dirty solution that does the trick by removing the old plots.
Regards,
ABCTG
Code
variables: var0( 0 ),var1( 0 ) ;
Input: offset(3);
if GetAppInfo( aiRealTimeCalc ) = 1 then
begin
var0 = InsideBid ;
var1 = InsideAsk ;
NoPlot[-offset+1](1);
NoPlot[-offset+1](2);
Plot1[-offset]( var0, "Bid");
Plot2[-offset]( var1, "Ask");
end ;

Instead of continuously removing the plot from the previous bar you could also simply remove the plots for the current bar when this bar is closed:
Code
variables: var0( 0 ),var1( 0 ) ;
Input: offset(3);
if GetAppInfo( aiRealTimeCalc ) = 1 then
begin
var0 = InsideBid ;
var1 = InsideAsk ;
Plot1[-offset]( var0, "Bid");
Plot2[-offset]( var1, "Ask");
if BarStatus(1) = 2 then
begin
NoPlot[-offset](1);
NoPlot[-offset](2);
end;
end ;
Regards,
