Help on Printing on Screen in EasyLanguage

[Chippy 10]

This is probably simple for you guys, but I was trying to find out how to print on the screen something in easy language. Very similar to the picture I am posting. You see on the side they have the "targets" and stop print on the screen as the market moves up and down. How do I do this based off an indicator? Hope this hasn't been explained before but I couldn't find anything when I searched. Thanks again,

I don't trade full time, it's just a hobby and for long term investments. I have a regular job to do so I don't have the time to read 1200 pages of easylanguage coding.

 

Can you point me in the right direction instead of saying read the manual? Thought that was the point of a forum to actually get helpful information?? Even a link to a repost about this same subject would be more helpful. Thanks

yea... if you do not understand how to do something, we can talk about it,

if you tried something and it does not work, we can talk about it.

but if you have not attempted,

or worst still, you haven't even picked up the manual and read the table of contents,

what do you want me to do for you?

 

 

ps. at this level, if there is anything i can teach you, it will be copied straight out of the manual anyway.

I was actually looking for an example of this type of coding in an actual indicator. Not necessarily the book. I have read the section called "drawing objects" already, but it will not print like in the picture I have above. A lot of what is said in the book doesn't apply to real world applications. I am not a coding expert by any means...that's why I was looking for an example I can work upon. I will re-read and try to re-code. Thanks

yes, I said that in my first post. It's ok, you don't have to reply anymore I will figure it out. Thanks anyway

This will plot text in the margin to the right. A lot of the code on the net uses calcdate and calctime to determine a date,time location in the future. This is a simplification that uses current date,time instead. Distance into the future is adjusted by the number of spaces between quotation marks in the SetString statement.

 

It's best to start simple and increase complexity. To add text for an average, add id2 and set id2's string to use +numtostr(avg,2) and it's location to (id2,d,t,avg); Or (id2,d,t,avg+10) if you have a reason to adjust it 10 pts higher.

 

 

var: id(0);

once begin
   id=text_new(d,t,c," ");
   text_setstyle(id,0,2);
end;

text_setString(id,"      " +numtostr(c,2));
text_setLocation(id,d,t,c);

very awesome and simple. thanks!!
