Can Anyone Please Tell Me What I'm Doing Wrong?

[freeflyva 10]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if anyone familiar with EL could tell me what I need to do to make this work? It plots the trendline...but I'm trying to change 3 things. The color, the style and the length.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Value1 = High of 1 bar ago;

 

If H > H[1] and L > L[1] and

H[2] > H[1] and L[2] > L[1] and

H[3] > H[2] and L[3] > L[2] then

 

 

Value2 = TL_New(Date, Time, Value1, Date, SessionEndTime(1, 1), Open);

 

TL_SetStyle <----- I'm not sure what to put here

TL_SetColor <----- or here

 

I'd also like to limit the length to about 25 bars if possible. I realize the sessionendtime ends it at session's end....but I once again couldn't come up with anything. I'm sure the values are mixed up.....so if anyone could help me out I would very much appreciate it. Until then I'll just be sitting here pulling my hair out. LOL Thanks in advance.

TL_SetStyle

 

Assigns the specified style to a trendline with the specified ID number; returns a value of 0 if the trendline style was successfully assigned, and a value of -2 if the specified trendline ID number is invalid.

 

Usage

TL_SetStyle(TL_ID,TL_Style)

 

Parameters

TL_ID - a numerical expression specifying the trendline ID number

 

TL_Style - a TL style constant or a numerical expression specifying the trendline style as follows:

 

Tool_Solid 1 ______________________

Tool_Dashed 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Tool_Dotted 3 ............................................

Tool_Dashed2 4 __ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ __

Tool_Dashed3 5 ___ _ _ ___ _ _ ___ _ _ ___

 

Note

A trendline-specific ID number is returned by TL_New when the trendline is created.

 

Examples

Set the style of the trendline with an ID number of 3 to Tool Dashed:

 

Value1=TL_SetStyle(3, 2);

 

Set the style of the trendline with an ID number of 3 to Tool Dashed:

 

Value1=TL_SetStyle(3, Tool_Dashed);

TL_SetColor

 

Assigns the specified color to a trendline with the specified ID number; returns a value of 0 if the color was successfully assigned, and a value of -2 if the specified trendline ID number is invalid.

 

Usage

TL_SetColor(TL_ID,TL_Color)

 

Parameters

TL_ID - a numerical expression specifying the trendline ID number

 

TL_Color - an expression specifying the trendline color

 

Trendline color can be specified by a numerical expression representing an RGB color number or a legacy color value, or by one of 17 base color words.

 

Note

A trendline-specific ID number is returned by TL_New when the trendline is created.

 

Examples

Assign the color blue to the trendline with an ID number of 3:

 

Value1=TL_SetColor(3,Blue);

 

Assign the RGB color 2138336 (Orange) to the trendline with an ID number of 3:

 

Value1=TL_SetColor(3,2138336);

 

Assign the legacy color 4 (Green) to the trendline with an ID number of 3:

 

[LegacyColorValue=True];

Value1=TL_SetColor(3,4);

Thanks Tams for the post.....but I've tried that. Everytime I put in the parameters and verified it the trendlines disappeared. I wasn't sure which value to assign it to....and when I put in the TL_ID....easylanguage didn't recognize it. I know TL_setstyle and TL_setcolor are the commands to use....I just don't know the specifics to put with them for my application. Thanks again for the reply.

Value2 = TL_New(Date, Time, Value1, Date, SessionEndTime(1, 1), Open);

 

value2 is the TL_ID

 

TL_Style is one of the following number:

 

1 will give you this: ______________________

2 will give you this: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

3 will give you this: ......................... ...................

4 will give you this: __ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ __

5 will give you this: ___ _ _ ___ _ _ ___ _ _ ___
