If I am marking my trades throughout the day, and would like to at the end of the day just put in a time into an ELD for buys and sells to plot either vertical lines, or arrows at the price for the current time.

How would I do this? I've created ELDs for plotting S/R levels, just using the plot function, and taking "inputs" as price levels.

But how would I accomplish what I am trying to do?

Thanks,
Forrest

P.S.: Here's the crappy, crude code I made a long time ago for plotting S/R levels, so I'm wanting to do something similiar, preferably with arrows instead of lines, but either will work.

Inputs: 
	AnchorPivot1(0),
	AnchorPivot2(0),
	AnchorPivot3(0),
	AnchorPivot4(0),
	AnchorPivot5(0),
	AnchorPivot6(0),
	AnchorPivot7(0),
	AnchorPivot8(0),
	AnchorPivot9(0),
	AnchorPivot10(0),
	AnchorPivot11(0),
	AnchorPivot12(0),
	AnchorPivot13(0),
	AnchorPivot14(0),
	AnchorPivot15(0),
	AnchorPivot16(0),
	AnchorPivot17(0),
	AnchorPivot18(0),
	AnchorPivot19(0),
	AnchorPivot20(0),
	AnchorPivot21(0),
	AnchorPivot22(0),
	AnchorPivot23(0),
	AnchorPivot24(0),
	AnchorPivot25(0),
	AnchorPivot26(0),
	AnchorPivot27(0),
	AnchorPivot28(0),
	AnchorPivot29(0),
	AnchorPivot30(0);

if AnchorPivot10 <> 0 then
plot10(AnchorPivot10, "AnchorPivot10");

if AnchorPivot23 <> 0 then
plot23(AnchorPivot23, "AnchorPivot23");

I'm working on it. Someone sent me a link to this thread:
http://www.traderslaboratory.com/for...arts-5942.html

I shouldn't have been playing with this during trading hours, cause it plotted like a million arrows, and my MC locked up....eek.

Here's what I got so far:

Inputs: Date1(1090513), Time1(0);

Variables: Buy1(0);

Buy1 = Arw_New(Date1,Time1,Low,False);

Plot won't do it.
Unless all you want is a dot.


You need to use TL_New to draw lines.


here's the specification:

it would help if you can post a mock up of how you want the arrow/line to look like.

Here's a pic of what it might look like with the arrow.

[edit]
I have reworked the code.
pls see attached.

you don't have to input the date,
this code will draw the arrow on current day's chart.


you will need to input the time in 24hr format.
e.g.

10:00 am is 1000

1 pm is 1300


p.s. you have to enter the time in the chart's resolution time.
ie. if you have a 5 min chart, all the time entries must be rounded to 5 minute intervals.


I have added two more input:
arw.point.down
if you set the arw.point.down to true, the arrow will point down.
if you set the arw.point.down to false, the arrow will point up.

arw.size
i have set the default to 18.

Tams, thanks for loooking into it.

I see, the part about the interval. I think that's why the first time I ran it, it plotted tons of arrows at the specified time. As it kept plotting one for every bar on my share bar chart.

What do you think about resolving that issue?
