Write to the Right (side)

Hi
There are many tricks out there concerning plotting text-info on a chart.Like always in EasyLanguage there are several possibilities (or better call it tricks) to achieve that - due to the poor limitations of the language.I think lots of you spended more time on finding solutions for a specific problem you never thought of it would increase to never ending..............
ok ,just joking
one of the finest solutions for this text - keeping is inside of Ant's genious MD.
Unfortunately he retired very soon - so no further assistance.Maybe someone could help to bring light into this coding structures, so one can use this concept for own analysis.
What I did here is to strip the code down to the column at the right side of the chart to remove everything unnessecary .
As I said before it's just for needs of understanding how this code works and how to reproduce this as "text-on-right-side-module".
I'm no learned programmer so I could not get through enough.
Idea might be to code something as exercise to the right side - maybe just the close of each tick or something similar.
It's just an idea how to start with this - every idea welcome

I am not sure if I understand what you are looking for or trying to achieve.

Tams, my guess is that he is creating a template for an info panel that sits on right side of screen.
Is that correct jojojo? If so, you might also try the panel as a separate window... easier to maintain, etc.

Re: Write to the Right (side)

zdo you are right - just a template: idea was (for instance) to write the close at the right side (just for demonstration purposes).
By the way this eld works as a realtime volume per price distribution , if you let run the whole day.

very nice codes!
it is like a market profile.

note: for MultiCharts users: you have to change the variable i because i is a reserved word in MultiCharts.
I have attached the amended code for your convenience.
(you will still need to get the function from the ELD above.)





p.s. You can also take a look at my ATR Marker to see how I position the text.

Re: Write to the Right (side)

thanx
but these ones do not work very well on tickcharts - due to the minute -resolution.

you will need MultiCharts to do the sub-minute chart objects.


MultiCharts has extended the EasyLanguage to include:

time_s

tl_new_s
tl_new_self_s

text_new_s
text_new_self_s

arw_new_s
arw_new_self_s

Re: Write to the Right (side)

hi there
to push this a step further I worked a bid on this : please see attached pic
We have to go into deeper programming structures to fully understand this code - one step more on a learning curve
