How to Create an ELD to Plot Vertical Lines or Arrows at Price.

Recommended Posts

If I am marking my trades throughout the day, and would like to at the end of the day just put in a time into an ELD for buys and sells to plot either vertical lines, or arrows at the price for the current time.

 

How would I do this? I've created ELDs for plotting S/R levels, just using the plot function, and taking "inputs" as price levels.

 

But how would I accomplish what I am trying to do?

 

Thanks,

Forrest

 

P.S.: Here's the crappy, crude code I made a long time ago for plotting S/R levels, so I'm wanting to do something similiar, preferably with arrows instead of lines, but either will work.

 

Inputs: 
AnchorPivot1(0),
AnchorPivot2(0),
AnchorPivot3(0),
AnchorPivot4(0),
AnchorPivot5(0),
AnchorPivot6(0),
AnchorPivot7(0),
AnchorPivot8(0),
AnchorPivot9(0),
AnchorPivot10(0),
AnchorPivot11(0),
AnchorPivot12(0),
AnchorPivot13(0),
AnchorPivot14(0),
AnchorPivot15(0),
AnchorPivot16(0),
AnchorPivot17(0),
AnchorPivot18(0),
AnchorPivot19(0),
AnchorPivot20(0),
AnchorPivot21(0),
AnchorPivot22(0),
AnchorPivot23(0),
AnchorPivot24(0),
AnchorPivot25(0),
AnchorPivot26(0),
AnchorPivot27(0),
AnchorPivot28(0),
AnchorPivot29(0),
AnchorPivot30(0);

if AnchorPivot1 <> 0 then
plot1(AnchorPivot1, "AnchorPivot1");

if AnchorPivot2 <> 0 then
plot2(AnchorPivot2, "AnchorPivot2");

if AnchorPivot3 <> 0 then
plot3(AnchorPivot3, "AnchorPivot3");

if AnchorPivot4 <> 0 then
plot4(AnchorPivot4, "AnchorPivot4");

if AnchorPivot5 <> 0 then
plot5(AnchorPivot5, "AnchorPivot5");

if AnchorPivot6 <> 0 then
plot6(AnchorPivot6, "AnchorPivot6");

if AnchorPivot7 <> 0 then
plot7(AnchorPivot7, "AnchorPivot7");

if AnchorPivot8 <> 0 then
plot8(AnchorPivot8, "AnchorPivot8");

if AnchorPivot9 <> 0 then
plot9(AnchorPivot9, "AnchorPivot9");

if AnchorPivot10 <> 0 then
plot10(AnchorPivot10, "AnchorPivot10");

if AnchorPivot11 <> 0 then
plot11(AnchorPivot11, "AnchorPivot11");

if AnchorPivot12 <> 0 then
plot12(AnchorPivot12, "AnchorPivot12");

if AnchorPivot13 <> 0 then
plot13(AnchorPivot13, "AnchorPivot13");

if AnchorPivot14 <> 0 then
plot14(AnchorPivot14, "AnchorPivot14");

if AnchorPivot15 <> 0 then
plot15(AnchorPivot15, "AnchorPivot15");

if AnchorPivot16 <> 0 then
plot16(AnchorPivot16, "AnchorPivot16");

if AnchorPivot17 <> 0 then
plot17(AnchorPivot17, "AnchorPivot17");

if AnchorPivot18 <> 0 then
plot18(AnchorPivot18, "AnchorPivot18");

if AnchorPivot19 <> 0 then
plot19(AnchorPivot19, "AnchorPivot19");

if AnchorPivot20 <> 0 then
plot20(AnchorPivot20, "AnchorPivot20");

if AnchorPivot21 <> 0 then
plot21(AnchorPivot21, "AnchorPivot21");


if AnchorPivot22 <> 0 then
plot22(AnchorPivot22, "AnchorPivot22");

if AnchorPivot23 <> 0 then
plot23(AnchorPivot23, "AnchorPivot23");

if AnchorPivot24 <> 0 then
plot24(AnchorPivot24, "AnchorPivot24");

if AnchorPivot25 <> 0 then
plot25(AnchorPivot25, "AnchorPivot25");

if AnchorPivot26 <> 0 then
plot26(AnchorPivot26, "AnchorPivot26");

if AnchorPivot27 <> 0 then
plot27(AnchorPivot27, "AnchorPivot27");

if AnchorPivot28 <> 0 then
plot28(AnchorPivot28, "AnchorPivot28");

if AnchorPivot29 <> 0 then
plot29(AnchorPivot29, "AnchorPivot29");

if AnchorPivot30 <> 0 then
plot30(AnchorPivot30, "AnchorPivot30");

I'm working on it. Someone sent me a link to this thread:

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f56/arw_new-multicharts-5942.html

 

I shouldn't have been playing with this during trading hours, cause it plotted like a million arrows, and my MC locked up....eek.

 

Here's what I got so far:

Inputs: Date1(1090513), Time1(0);

Variables: Buy1(0);

Buy1 = Arw_New(Date1,Time1,Low,False);

it would help if you can post a mock up of how you want the arrow/line to look like.

 

Kewl, I will do that as soon as I get back in front of my PC with my software as I am temporarily out of town till Prob Sunday.

Here's a pic of what it might look like with the arrow.

 

 

[edit]

I have reworked the code.

pls see attached.

 

you don't have to input the date,

this code will draw the arrow on current day's chart.

 

 

you will need to input the time in 24hr format.

e.g.

 

10:00 am is 1000

 

1 pm is 1300

 

 

p.s. you have to enter the time in the chart's resolution time.

ie. if you have a 5 min chart, all the time entries must be rounded to 5 minute intervals.

 

I have added two more input:

arw.point.down

if you set the arw.point.down to true, the arrow will point down.

if you set the arw.point.down to false, the arrow will point up.

 

arw.size

i have set the default to 18.

Tams, thanks for loooking into it.

 

I see, the part about the interval. I think that's why the first time I ran it, it plotted tons of arrows at the specified time. As it kept plotting one for every bar on my share bar chart.

 

What do you think about resolving that issue?

computers are dumb, you have to tell it specifically what to do... ;-)

otherwise it will repeat itself until... LOL... it dies.

 

 

the attached code should have solved the problem.

Tams,

 

The prolblem with over plotting is still there.

 

I think that statement, needs an if around it, like 'if plot = true, then don't plot repeat arrrows for same time incriment'

are you plotting it at the EOD? or during market hours?

Mainly EOD, as this is just a tool I am using to go back and put arrows near trades I've taken. Just so I can look back and see what I was doing at that time.

ok, let me ask the question in another way.

 

about the screen shot, was that indicator applied during market hours? or EOD.

are you using the code I posted in this link?

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f56/how-create-eld-plot-vertical-lines-5956.html#post65451

did you modify it in any way?

 

I didn't. Actually, the study I had before, I just grabbed what you posted, erased what I had, and pasted it in there to see what would happen.

 

So it's got a different name is all. Compliled, and applied at EOD.

you must have another indicator drawing those arrows.

 

right click on the arrow, you will see the name of the indicator drawing those arrow.

 

 

Good luck.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
