What I have created is the FUNCTION

The indicator is for demonstration only.

 

When writing your own indicator... you can put any variables you like for the rectangle coordinates.

 

The rectangle size and position can change with every tick and every bar as the market unfolds.

Hi Tams,

 

if a specific condition is met, i want to delete the rectangle. Does somebody has an easy solutiion where to put in the 4 tl_delete. Into the function before if value1 = 0 then or into the main code?

[Tams 20]

you have to use TL_get... to find the lines before you can delete.

you can modify the function to pass the IDs:

 

id.tl.top(-1),

id.tl.bot(-1),

id.tl.left(-1),

id.tl.right(-1);

Do you coded also triangle pattern?

Do you coded also triangle pattern?

 

I did not code the triangle pattern... but anything can be coded.

 

If you can imagine it,

if you can visualize it,

if you can quantify it,

if you can articulate it,

It can be coded.
