price marker for Draw object

August 21st, 2011, 12:17 PM

Hello,

I have one DrawHorizontalLine in my script. Is it possible to get a price marker on y axis for it ? (without adding a plot/DataSeries on top of it)

Maybe with a parameter inside Initialise{} or something ?

Thanks again.

I am not aware that this is possible. But why don't you want to add a plot?

My aim was to get a price marker for a value calculated only on last bar.

I tried first :

if(Bars.LastBarOfSession) PlotColors[0][0]=Color.Yellow
else PlotColors[0][0]=Color.Empty

but I still got a fragment of line displayed from candle [1] to [0]

Now for the easier and valid way : if(Bars.LastBarOfSession) DataSeries ...does de job (no line at all)

Thanks again. I'll rename you officially "my coding guard"

Sorry, I do not understand, where you want to draw a line. Also why do you want to use Bars.LastBarOfSession?

Maybe you can attach a chart and manually draw a line where you want to plot it.

I wrote :
DrawHorizontalLine("tag",true,Close[0]+ATR(Close,14)[0],Color.Yellow,DashStyle.DashDot,1);
in order to get a line at LAST price level + ATR

but I needed a price marker so in the end I added a dataseries to plot yellow on top of it :
if(Bars.LastBarOfSession) marker.Set(Close[0]+ATR(Close,14)[0]);

if I didn't place if(Bars.LastBarOfSession) in front to get the marker, I'd have a zigzag line of the price+ATR for every candle on top of my horizontal line (therefore 2 lines and one I don't want at all)

Did I code it a distorded way ?! I'm a crazy aloof mind.

Maybe something like this?

I knew it was there on purpose but which purpose. Thanks a lot.
