I need it for Tradestation 8.2

 

High, Low and Range values (plotted as a text on the chart) for the last (unfinished) bar while it's being built IN REAL TIME.

 

Please see how I want this to look:

Jonick,

 

Here was I was able to come up with. It plots the High/Low/ and Range. I do not know how to plot the text up above the chart like your example, but toy around with this one and you should be able to get it how you like. Also, I am in no way a coder but I was able to search around and piece together what I was looking for. I'm sure there are better ways to get this done, but this is what I was able to build. All I ask is that if you come across someone who needs something that you got you help them out, kind of a pay-it-forward idea. I built this in MC so I'm sure if everything will compile correctly, but the things that don't should be an easy fix.

 

inputs:  
HL_OFFSET(3),
DECIMALS(0),
Text_Attr(1),
HIGH_Text_Color(DARKGREEN),
LOW_Text_Color(DARKRED),
RAN_TEXT_COLOR(darkblue),

HIGH_TEXT("H:"),
LOW_TEXT("L: "),
RAN_TEXT("RANGE:  "),

Texts("Calibri"),
Texts_Size(12),
LEFT_RIGHT("           ");


vars:
  HIGH_TL( 0 ),
  LOW_TL(0),
  Hid(0),
  Lid(0),
  RAN(0),
  RID(0),
  vDELETE(0);


If LastBarOnChart then
  begin
 RAN=absvalue(HIGH-LOW);
 HIGH_TL = TL_New(date, time, high, date, time, high);   
 LOW_TL= TL_New(date, time, low, date, time, low);   

Hid=text_new(date,time,high+HL_OFFSET,LEFT_RIGHT+HIGH_TEXT+(NumToStr(HIGH,DECIMALS)));
text_setstyle(Hid,0,1);
text_setfontname(Hid,texts);
text_setsize(Hid,texts_size);
text_setcolor(Hid,HIGH_text_color);
text_setattribute(Hid,Text_Attr,true);

Lid=text_new(date,time,low-HL_OFFSET,LEFT_RIGHT+LOW_TEXT+NumToStr(LOW,DECIMALS));
text_setstyle(Lid,0,0);
text_setfontname(Lid,texts);
text_setsize(Lid,texts_size);
text_setcolor(Lid,LOW_text_color);
text_setattribute(Lid,Text_Attr,true);

Rid=text_new(date,time,OPEN,LEFT_RIGHT+RAN_TEXT+NumToStr(RAN,DECIMALS));
text_setstyle(Rid,0,0);
text_setfontname(Rid,texts);
text_setsize(Rid,texts_size);
text_setcolor(Rid,RAN_text_color);
text_setattribute(Rid,Text_Attr,true);


if HIGH_TL[1] > 0 AND HIGH_TL<> HIGH_TL[1] then
vDELETE= TL_Delete(HIGH_TL[1]);

if LOW_TL[1] > 0 AND LOW_TL <> LOW_TL[1] then
vDELETE = TL_Delete(LOW_TL[1]);     

if HIGH_TL[1] > 0 AND HIGH_TL<> HIGH_TL[1] then          
      vDELETE = text_delete(Hid[1]);        

if LOW_TL[1] > 0 AND LOW_TL <> LOW_TL[1] then    
       vDELETE = text_delete(Lid[1]);  

if LOW_TL[1] > 0 AND LOW_TL <> LOW_TL[1] then
vDELETE = TEXT_Delete(RID[1]);     


end;

thank for your help. When I try to VERIFY the code in Power Editor I get a message "Word is not recognized by easy language" for the first time -

text_setfontname is listed.

 

Please advice.

 

Thanks,

BC

Thats what I was thinking would happen. MC has more ways to customize the fonts then TS. Just try to take out what it cant verify and see what happens. Just use "//" ( w/o the quotes. eg text_setfontname would be //text_setfontname) it should turn green. We'll start there and take it from there. I dont use TS anymore that is why I cant do this myself.

Trader273/jonik,

 

This is code for a similar indicator I use. It places a trend line (extended to the right) at the hi and lo of the previous bar, and annotes the hi/lo prices and the range differential between them. Perhaps you can modify this to meet jonik's format.

    • The best and the most sure-fire way to avoid all these forms of nonsense is NEVER to send any money to anyone, no matter the circumstances they claim... Even your closest family members.   Whatever they claim will happen to them, let it happen.   There is nothing new under the sun...   You need to be extremely cruel.... Never send anything of value to anybody, no matter what they claim, even if they claim death.   If you can follow this GOLDEN RULE, you will avoid a lot of regrets, heartaches and disappointments from all areas.   I send money only to people I have promised before.... Or someone I am seeing face-to-face... Or someone I have confirmed beyond reasonable doubts from external/independent sources that they really need the money.   Otherwise, nobody under this heaven can come out of blue (unless my parents or wife), even my siblings and request money.   Over 90% of requests for financial assistance and are fraudulent.   After all, if you die today... The scammers (even in the family) will continue to live without you.   Those who are merciful, kind-hearted and soft-hearted are the easy preys and targets of these scoundrels - 419 scammers.   They like gullible people and hate tough/cruel people.   Do not allow anyone to cause you to feel guilty for what you don’t do… Those dubious people want to make you feel guilty for not helping. But you don’t need to feel guilty as long as you’re not the cause of their problems or the issues they have.   It is better to lose customers/friends/family members/anyone's goodwill and keep your money, than to lose their goodwill and also lose your money.   Because that is what will happen at last... I have lost count of how many people that are currently regretting giving out loans, just because they want to retain goodwill.   When you're trying to please people, you end up displeasing yourself... And you will discover that those who are encouraging you to be kind and generous are themselves wicked and stingy.   Esin o dede l’oro... Araye lo ko esin loro. (It's humans being that taught the horse how to be cruel).   The best way to avoid falling for scam is NEVER to send anything of value to anyone, no matter who the person is to you or how they relate to you on this planet...   And never try to get anything for free or reap where you don't sow and never try to get rich quickly.   Follow this: You will escape/avoid all scams, lies, pretenses, fakeries, headaches, sorrow, regrets, high BP, later in your life.   Ignore this rule at your own PERIL.   Have a nice day. PS: And scammers will be using AI also for impersonations, phishing attempts and deepfake tricks. Just delay indefinitely and make independent calls, research and investigation before you part with anything of value. If you can't go through the rigors, just ignore the deals. I hope the Western World will soon pass legislation to regulate AI and deal with those who use it for evil.  To get free, winning trading signals, please visit: https://t.me/predictmag
