ELD for Bar Text in Corner

[hunter1 10]

I have been having problems changing the following indicator to print the bar close. The indicator currently prints the current bar and previous bars' high and low. What I am trying to do is change it to print the previous bars high low and close. The close in a nice over sized text and a bright color like yellow or light green. The text prints in the upper right corner of the chart. Below is the code . If anyone could tell me what lines to enter or change and where I would be most grateful.

 

 

 

Input:

RangeAmount ( 1),

Decimal ( 2),

Text_Color (rgb(100,255,150)),

UpColor (rgb(255,255,255)), // You pick the color

DnColor (rgb(255,0,0)),

Percent ( 5), // Top of screen = 0, Bottom of screen = 100.

BelowFactor ( 2); // Percent amount for 2nd line to appear below first line.

 

Var:

CurrentBarHigh ( 0 ),

CurrentBarLow ( 0 ),

PreviousBarHigh ( 0 ),

PreviousBarLow ( 0 ),

PlacementHolder ( 0 ),

RangeAmountPrevious ( 0 ),

Text_ID1 (-1 ),

Text_ID2 (-1 ),

Text_ID3 (-1 ),

Text_ID4 (-1 ),

Left_ID ( 0 ),

Right_ID ( 0 ),

High_ID ( 0 ),

Low_ID ( 0 ),

Offset ( 0 );

CurrentBarHigh = H;

CurrentBarLow = L;

PreviousBarHigh = High[1];

PreviousBarLow = Low[1];

RangeAmountPrevious = High[1] - Low[1];

 

// This draws the text on the first bar

once if currentbar = 1 then begin

if Text_ID1 = -1 then begin

Text_ID1 = Text_New( Date, Time, 0, " " ) ;

end;

if Text_ID2 = -1 then begin

Text_ID2 = Text_New( Date, Time, 0, " " ) ;

end;

if Text_ID3 = -1 then begin

Text_ID3 = Text_New( Date, Time, 0, " " ) ;

end;

if Text_ID4 = -1 then begin

Text_ID4 = Text_New( Date, Time, 0, " " ) ;

end;

end;

 

// This updates the text and places it in the upper right corner

Left_ID = GetAppInfo( aiLeftDispDateTime );

Right_ID = GetAppInfo( aiRightDispDateTime );

High_ID = GetAppInfo( aiHighestDispValue );

Low_ID = GetAppInfo( aiLowestDispValue );

Offset = ((high_ID - Low_ID)*.01); { 1% of chart height. Then Pcnt (Input) becomes Percent height of chart}

 

Text_setstring(Text_ID1,numtostr(PreviousBarHigh,decimal)+" ");

Text_SetLocation( Text_ID1,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60*24 ),High_ID - (Offset * percent) ) ;

Text_SetStyle( Text_ID1, 1,0 ) ;

Text_SetColor(Text_ID1, Text_Color);

Text_setstring(Text_ID2,numtostr(CurrentBarHigh,decimal));

Text_SetLocation( Text_ID2,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60*24 ),High_ID - (Offset * percent) ) ;

Text_SetStyle( Text_ID2, 1,0 ) ;

Text_SetColor(Text_ID2, Text_Color);

Text_setstring(Text_ID3,numtostr(PreviousBarLow,decimal)+" ");

Text_SetLocation( Text_ID3,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60*24 ),High_ID - (Offset * percent)*BelowFactor ) ;

Text_SetStyle( Text_ID3, 1,0 ) ;

Text_SetColor(Text_ID3, Text_Color);

Text_setstring(Text_ID4,numtostr(CurrentBarLow,decimal));

Text_SetLocation( Text_ID4,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60*24 ),High_ID - (Offset * percent)*BelowFactor ) ;

Text_SetStyle( Text_ID4, 1,0 ) ;

Text_SetColor(Text_ID4, Text_Color);

 

// This colors the previous bars range numbers

 

If RangeAmountPrevious > RangeAmount then begin

Text_SetColor(Text_ID1, DnColor);

Text_SetColor(Text_ID3, DnColor);

end;

If RangeAmountPrevious < RangeAmount then begin

Text_SetColor(Text_ID1, UpColor);

Text_SetColor(Text_ID3, UpColor);

end;

If RangeAmountPrevious = RangeAmount then begin

Text_SetColor(Text_ID1, Text_Color);

Text_SetColor(Text_ID3, Text_Color);

end;

Hi Hunter

 

U've posted 9 days ago w/o any reply... 2 sad ...

 

I suggest a more structured method 2 have a chance 2 get help here

 

- Say your level in programming

 

- Xplain shortly the framework of your question

 

- Say where comes from your code

 

- Define clearly your goals

 

A) print the previous bars

high

low

close

 

B) close in a

16 sized text

color yellow

 

C) text prints in the

upper right corner of the chart

 

- Reformat seperate and comment each part of your code

 

- Learn each function in your manual

 

- Understand the logic behind

 

- Xperiment different parameters and watch the result on the screen

 

- Use the search field 2 find equivalent questions in the forum

 

- Go back 2 your thread with the result of your personnal work

 

- Ask only 1 short + precise + illustrated ( picture, mockup, ...) question at a time

 

- If nobody answers after a while try again in a different way 2 move up your thread

 

IMO these suggestion will show your motivation 2 find the solution and will motivate PP 2 help U

 

regards

Thanks Shrike, I small problem the text for the close prints over the text for the open so you can't read either.

Hi

 

play with this line of code

 

Text_setstring(Text_ID1,"H : " + numtostr(PreviousBarHigh,decimal)+"  ");
Text_SetLocation( Text_ID1,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60* 24 ),High_ID - (Offset * percent)*-BelowFactor/2 ) ;
Text_SetStyle( Text_ID1, 1,0 ) ;
Text_SetColor(Text_ID1, Text_Color);
Text_setstring(Text_ID2,"C : " + numtostr(PreviousBarCLOSE,decimal)+"  ");
Text_SetLocation( Text_ID2,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60* 24 ),High_ID - (Offset * (percent)) ) ;
Text_SetStyle( Text_ID2, 1,0 ) ;
Text_SetColor(Text_ID2, Text_Color);
Text_setstring(Text_ID3,"L : " + numtostr(PreviousBarLow,dEcimal)+" ");
Text_SetLocation( Text_ID3,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60* 24 ),High_ID - (Offset * (percent))*BelowFactor ) ;
Text_SetStyle( Text_ID3, 1,0 ) ;
Text_SetColor(Text_ID3, Text_Color);

 

I've put *-belowfactor in prev high so text is shifted up , and insert text H,C,L

I have been having problems changing the following indicator to print the bar close....

 

 

you can borrow this code and modify it to your needs.

ps. it is always helpful to include a mock up chart to illustrate your "vision".
