TrendLine_ Price Label Coding

January 31st, 2020, 05:16 PM

I just switched over to the Tradestation EasyLanguage from the ToS Thinkscript platform so my experience and research isnt helping. I have a simple built indicator showing the High and Low plotted across from the previous 20bars.

It is perfect for what I am looking for the only issue is I would like it to plot the Price to the right of the line. As of now it is just showing the trendline and I have tried 10 different ways of adding a price label but all I am finding is text options with the Text_ "" coding.

Quoting

Inputs:

BackHigh (20),
BackLow (20),
TL_high_color (darkgreen),
TL_LOW_color(DarkRed),
TL_High_Size(2),
TL_low_Size(2),
TL_High_Style(2),
TL_low_Style(2);

Vars:
TL_High(1),
TL_LOW(2),
HighestHigh(0),
LowestLow(0),
timestorage(0);

HighestHigh= Highest(High,BackHigh);
LowestLow=Lowest(Low,BackLow);

If lastbaronchart or lastbaronchartEX Then

Begin
TL_High= TL_New(Date[BackHigh], Time[Backhigh], HighestHigh,Date,Time,HighestHigh);
TL_SetColor(TL_HIGH,TL_HIGH_COLOR);
TL_SetSize(TL_High,TL_High_Size);
TL_SetStyle(TL_High,TL_High_Style);
TL_Low= TL_New(Date[BackHigh], Time[Backhigh], LowestLow,Date,Time,LowestLow);
TL_SetColor(TL_low,TL_low_COLOR);
TL_SetSize(TL_low,TL_low_Size);
TL_SetStyle(TL_low,TL_low_Style);

End;

There is the code. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am sure there is an easy line for this.

bidness91,

welcome to futures.io. Using legacy EasyLanguage there is no way around adding a separate text label using the "Text_New" reserved word you mentioned for adding a label to the line.
You can take a look a Object Oriented EasyLanguage that offers horizontal lines that can also display labels.

alright, that seems to be the problem then.

Is there an easy way to switch the formatting from TL to a Plot syntax? it seems the plot way is the easiest way to edit and format it.

bidness91,

there is no easier way than to remove/block the trendline syntax and using the plot reserved word instead.

thanks for the help ABC.

looks like i am just going to have to keep searching for an alternate coding that has already been made.
