Customizing “ShowMe” to Plot Arrows?

[mcerio 10]

I posted this at the end of another thread but thought people might be interested in this? I have seen it done, but can"t get my hands on any concrete code/answers.

 

Can tradeStation pull a file from elsewhere and substitute the standard dot or cross normally used to plot a "ShowMe?"

 

Thanks.

I have code that imports a small up arrow and a small down arrow.

The attached code plots a fast and a slow moving average.

Whenever the fast crosses above the slow, a small up arrow is printed.

Whenever the slow crosses below the fast, a small down arrow is printed.

Notice in the Inputs Section:

    upChar("a"),

    DnChar("q");

In the two main "Begin" and "End;" sections "a" becomes an up arrow when plotted and "q" becomes a down arrow. The attached photo shows two up and two down arrows plotted at the moving average crossing points.
