It looks very similar as the MACD histogram

I tried other ways but the original one works better // Down if high < high[1] and low < low[1] and high[1] < high[2] and low[1] < low[2] then begin I think that plot is not the right way to do it TL_New is a solution but I'm not competent to do it...

I tried without success I'm also interested if it works

I'm a good gal, I've made my homeworks. Is it correct ? Var: count( 0 ), count.end( 2 ); Arrays: Line.ID[2]( 0 ), level[2]( 0 ), Color[2]( 0 ); Level[1] = HighD(1); Level[2] = LowD(1); Color[1] = blue; Color[2] = red; for count = 1 to count.end begin Line.ID[count] = TL_New( d , t , level[count], d, t , level[count]); TL_SetColor(Line.ID, Color[count]); end;

With colored bars like in TAMS' chart //----------------------------------------------------- inputs: //---------------------------------------------------- up.color( blue ); //---------------------------------------------------- vars: //---------------------------------------------------- RF(0); if CurrentBar > 1 then begin if Date <> Date[1] then RF = 0; if Date = Date[1] then begin if High > High[1] then RF = RF + 1; if High < High[1] then RF = RF - 1; if Low > Low[1] then RF = RF + 1; if Low < Low[1] then RF = RF - 1; end; end; Plot1( 0 , "ZeroLine" ); Plot2( RF , "RF" ); if RF > RF[1] then SetPlotColor( 1 , up.color );

There is before TAMS... ...and after TAMS What an amazing program !!! I'm sure that everybody on this forum is glad to learn from you :missy:

I have no excuse now ! So array is a loop to read values Well... It is definitly out of my competence If someone knows how to do that he/she will be welcome

I'm too shy to do that... :haha: I'm a fan of your indicators and I 'm glad that you appreciate my tiny contribution.

Tams, could you help me to adapt my suggestion to your "plot" version ? If condition1 true then condition1 else if Condition2 true then condition2 ect.. I have problems with If * then begin * * end else noplot

one more thanks In fact I'm still using MC 3.1 because I had stability problems with the next beta versions I'm waiting for the official release to test it

TAMS Thank you for this very interesting trick "Expand scale to indicator" is a new option in MC 5.xx I use to plot histograms below the price like on the pix enclosed Could it be possible painting only below the price instead of all screen ?

Thank you WaveSlider for your suggestions In fact I am really bad in coding, even EL is (supposed to be) easy, everything is new for me So... I don't know how to do arrays and also what arrays are !!! :crap: A counter will stop after x bars and not exactly when the support/Resistance is reached I was thinking of when the dots meets a price that stops the line It should be more in your logic ; A pivot starts to be interesting when it is a beginning of a wave And the idea of choosing a 3 bars is pertinent breaking his support/resistance supposes a reversal Sometimes it takes long time It should be interesting to view S/R untill it reaches price

Top and Bottom mixed in one bottom( 0 ); = Top bottom( 1 ); = Bottom // Masthead + Bottomline // version beta 0.1 // Author: TAMS // date: 20090416 // license: public use // description: this indicator prints the pertinent information on the bottom or top of the screen. // MultiChart version can adjust the text size. // you can easily modify this indicator with information of your choice // input: ATR.length1( 10 ), ATR.length2( 20 ), Text.size( 14 ), Text.color( black ), Bottom( 1 ); var: id.txt( -1 ), txt.data1( "" ), topprice( 0 ), bottomprice( 0 ); if Bottom = 0 then Value1 = getappinfo(aihighestdispvalue) else if Bottom > 0 then Value1 = getappinfo(ailowestdispvalue); txt.data1 = "HL="+NumToStr(highd(0)-lowd(0),2) + ", ATR"+NumToStr(ATR.length2,0)+"="+ NumToStr(AvgTrueRange( ATR.length2),2) + ", ATR"+NumToStr(ATR.length1,0)+"="+ NumToStr(AvgTrueRange( ATR.length1),2) + ", Range[1]="+NumToStr(range[1],2) + ", Range="+NumToStr(range,2); if currentbar = 1 then begin id.txt = text_new(d, t, Value1 , txt.data1); Text_SetStyle (id.txt , 1, 1); Text_Setcolor (id.txt , text.color); {MC only} text_setsize (id.txt , text.size); text_setattribute (id.txt, 1, true); end; text_SetString(id.txt, txt.data1); text_setlocation(id.txt, d, t, Value1);

Every week Tams shares great and simple ideas in this forum... Having any kind of information printed on the screen is powerfull.

Like for the Black/white candles to take less space on the screen and avoids duplication This is an other suggestion to choose only one gap It // Gaps if GapUp AND GapUp[1] then Message = Message + "DoubleGapUp" else if L > 1.02 * H1 then Message = Message + "HugeGapUp" else if L > 1.01 * H1 then Message = Message + "BigGapUp" else if GapUp then Message = Message + "GapUp" ; if GapDn AND GapDn[ 1] then Message = Message + "DoubleGapDown" else if H < 0.98 * L1 then Message = Message + "HugeGapDown" else if H < 0.99 * L1 then Message = Message + "BigGapDown" else if GapDn then Message = Message + "GapDown" ;

I use this indicator to filter the "interesting" pivots which could be support/ resistance Also the 3 candles shows a good entry/exit point I'm still try to stop the dots at the next price... Should I create flags for each pivot ? (On my picture the lines are the dots' extension)

I like this educative indicator This is a suggestion to have only one candle at a time if ((C>O) AND((C-O)/(.001+H-L)>.6)) then Message = Message + " LongWhiteCandle" else if (C>O) then Message = Message + " WhiteCandle" else if ((C>O) AND ((H-L)>(3*(C-O)))) then Message = Message + " SmallWhiteCandle" ; if (O>C AND (O-C)/(.001+H-L)>.6) then Message = Message + " LongBlkCandle" else if (O>C) then Message = Message + " BlkCandle" else if ((O>C) AND ((H-L)>(3*(O-C)))) then Message = Message + " SmallBlkCandle" ;

Yes, We have good teachers here to help with this excellent trading software But, It is only 2 tiny lines of Blue-Ray's script... Anyway, Thanks for your compliment Tams. Have a nice week trades.

I have added size and style option to this nice indicator inputs: // StartTime( 0900 ), // EndTime( 1030 ), StartTime( SessionStartTime(1,1)), EndTime( CalcTime(SessionStartTime(1,1),90)), HL.Size( 1 ), HL.Style( 2 ), HighColor( green), LowColor( red) ; variables: HavePrevLines( false ), TLHigh( 0 ), TLLow( 0 ), PeriodHigh( 0 ), PeriodLow( 999999 ) ; if BarType <= 1 then { ie, if minute or tick bars } begin // if Date <> Date[1] then { ie, if new day } if CurrentSession(0) <> CurrentSession(0)[1] then { ie, if new session } begin { truncate the previous lines if they exist } if HavePrevLines then begin TL_SetEnd( TLHigh, Date[1], Time[1], PeriodHigh ) ; TL_SetEnd( TLLow, Date[1], Time[1], PeriodLow ) ; TL_SetExtRight( TLHigh, false ) ; TL_SetExtRight( TLLow, false ) ; end ; { re-initialize PeriodHigh,PeriodLow for the new day } PeriodHigh = 0 ; PeriodLow = 999999 ; { insert the new H,L lines and set their colors/extents } TLHigh = TL_New( Date, Time, PeriodHigh, Date, Time, PeriodHigh ) ; TLLow = TL_New( Date, Time, PeriodLow, Date, Time, PeriodLow ) ; TL_SetColor( TLHigh, HighColor ) ; TL_SetColor( TLLow, LowColor ) ; TL_SetSize( TLHigh , HL.Size ); TL_SetSize( TLLow , HL.Size ); TL_SetStyle( TLHigh , HL.Style ); TL_SetStyle( TLLow , HL.Style ); TL_SetExtLeft( TLHigh, false ) ; TL_SetExtLeft( TLLow,false ) ; TL_SetExtRight( TLHigh, true ) ; TL_SetExtRight( TLLow, true ) ; { set flag } if HavePrevLines = false then HavePrevLines = true ; end ; if HavePrevLines = true then begin if StartTime <= Time and Time <= EndTime then begin if High > PeriodHigh then begin PeriodHigh = High ; { MUST reset TL end before resetting TL beginning in this case; if order reversed, begin will first be reset to right side of end, and become the new end; this will then again be reset by the subsequent statement; the original begin will not be reset at all. } TL_SetEnd( TLHigh, Date, Time, PeriodHigh ) ; TL_SetBegin( TLHigh, Date, Time, PeriodHigh ) ; end ; if Low < PeriodLow then begin PeriodLow = Low ; { MUST reset TL end before resetting TL beginning in this case; see above. } TL_SetEnd( TLLow, Date, Time, PeriodLow ) ; TL_SetBegin( TLLow, Date, Time, PeriodLow ) ; end ; end ; end ; end ;

In an other hand TAMS' zigzag is pretty much better than the original in MC or TS It takes the real High + low with incredible precisions Could it be possible to integrate the tams' code instead of pivotlowvs(1,l,2,2,20) pivothighvs(1,h,2,2,20)

Here is a snap The white lines should be the extension of the dots until they reaches a price It wil show the end of Support and resistance based of the last pivots

I'm so stupid with the HTML Wrap...:crap: OK I've found it up ! First insert C.O.D.E tag Than write the text than insert the /C.o.d.e tag And very important ; reload the page !!!!!!

Hello Is there a way to set the end of each line at the next low/high instead of the next pivot ? I tried but I've reached my limits in programming... var:flag(0),value2last(0),value1last(0),bullflag(0),bearflag(0); if h>h[1] and low>low[1] and h[1]>h[2] and l[1]>l[2] and h[2]>h[3] and l[2]>l[3] then begin value1=pivotlowvs(1,l,2,2,20)[1]; bullflag=bullflag+1; end; //It doesn't work... if h<h[1] and low<low[1] and h[1]<h[2] and l[1]<l[2] and h[2]<h[3] and l[2]<l[3] then begin value2=pivothighvs(1,h,2,2,20)[1]; bearflag=bearflag+1; end; if value1<>value1[1] then value1last=value1[1]; if value2<>value2[1] then value2last=value2[1]; if bullflag>0 and c<value1 then bullflag=0; if bearflag>0 and c>value2 then bearflag=0; if l>value1 and bullflag>=2 and value1>value1last then begin plot1(value1,"stop"); end; if h<value2 and bearflag>=2 and value2<value2last then begin plot2(value2,"sstop"); end; if l>value1 and bullflag>=2 and value1>value1last then begin value10 = tl_new( date, Time , value1, date, Time , value1); end ; if close <= value1 then value11 = time ; tl_setbegin(value10, date, Time , value10 ); tl_setend(value10, date, value11,value10 );

Note that a price will never reach an ATR target because they are linked Better to leave a yesterday target like in the code of TAMS // ATR Marker with the option to plot the historical ATR lines // version: 1.1 // author: TAMS // date: 20090325 // license: public use // description: this indicator prints the ATR value on the chart // High ATR = C[1] + ATR[1] // Low ATR = C[1] - ATR[1] // // input: Show.lines(true), x.ATR(3), ATR.Period(10), text.color(black), decimal(2); vars: id.txt.HighAtr(-1), id.txt.LowAtr(-1), Atr(0), HighATR(0), LowATR(0); Atr = AvgTrueRange(ATR.Period); HighATR = h[1] + x.ATR * ATR[1]; LowATR = l[1] - x.ATR * ATR[1]; if currentbar = 1 then begin id.txt.HighAtr = Text_New(Date, Time, HighATR, "High ATR"); id.txt.LowAtr = Text_New(Date, Time, LowATR, "Low ATR"); text_Setcolor(id.txt.HighAtr, text.color); text_Setcolor(id.txt.LowAtr, text.color); text_Setstyle(id.txt.HighAtr, 0, 2); text_Setstyle(id.txt.LowAtr, 0, 2); end; text_SetLocation(id.txt.HighAtr,date, time, HighATR); text_SetLocation(id.txt.LowAtr,date, time, LowATR); text_SetString(id.txt.HighAtr ," < "+NumToStr(HighATR,decimal)+" High ATR"); text_SetString(id.txt.LowAtr, " < "+NumToStr(LowATR,decimal)+" Low ATR"); if Show.lines then begin plot1[1](HighATR, "HighATR"); plot2[1](LowATR, "LowATR"); end;

Hi Tams I'm wondering if there is a way to begin the ligne on the last value on the right side of the chart instead of go x bars before And is there an other way to code the numbers to appear like in your ATR Marker ? If you got Xtra time for helpcoding of course
