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.

    • I guess US has fund managers and investment banking institutions looking after the portfolios on behalf of their clients.
    • There are many resources related to forex trading available on forums like babypips and forexfactory etc.
    • Candle stick pattern is one of the easiest charting patterns available to learn and make money. However, new traders never learn about the skills needed for earning money but they rush for making money and eventually lose their money.
    • Nothing wrong with being a ‘progressive’. Nothing wrong with being a ‘conservative’.  Very generally, ‘conservatives’ have preponderance of the here and now neurotransmitters, prefer empirical references, the rule of law, and value individual agency (It has been said that conservatives love humans and progressives love humanity) . Very generally, ‘progressives’ are dopaginaric - driven by passion for a better possible future, prefer references to others  (Example Karmela won’t answer questions with facts.  She cites the opinion of 18 ‘experts’), have a penchant for rule by man/mobs not by law , and value ‘societal' agency.  However, excesses of either tendency indicates mental illness, collective malaise, and has consequences.  When either camp is systematically captured by control seekers and/or, situationally by mobs, the whole is lessened. A key sign that is occurring is when one side no longer allows disagreement.  Progressives have  currently gone crazy in those excesses and are no longer allowing anything but unithought... examples - You can still be a vocal pro choice republican.  Try being a vocal pro life democrat. For snicks just try it.  You’ll get cancelled.  Bust a myth about blacks in America, true up the real  history of Republicans ending slavery and what has happened since, how the democrats are the party of the KKK, how Obama did not a fkn thang for blacks in general, be a black republican, etc.    You will get canceled in a heartbeat. Step up and question the social agendas of federally subsidized schools at a board meeting... get treated like shit and also get an immediate case number with the FBI ... Question the requirements to watch and lickkiss the 'rainbows' and also make sure your kids show up for it, not to mention fund transitions out of your pocket and see what you get ‘labeled’ Question mainstream media bias - even just to mention that biased, agenda driven narrative is different from truth in reporting - and see what happens to your voice... Excesses have consequences... imbalances have consequences... just sayin’
