Constant Plot Level

I have multiple show me studies plotted relative to each price bar as conditions unfold. I want to keep all these plots within the price panel but remove them from price itself. I want them plotted on a horizontal plane above and below the price bars. I have tried setting them up using the highestHigh x bars etc but as new highs are formed old dots remain plotted at the old level. The trick is to keep these things visible but remove them from the price bars.

Somebody must have done this but I cannot locate it anywhere.

Anybody got any ideas?

Re: Constant Plot Level

Not sure if this is what you're looking for .... but why don't you just plot the showme's x amount of ticks away for high / low..... this way it's removed from the price bars but still visible.

example:

Inputs:
TickDistance(4);

Vars:
Mintick(0);

Mintick = minmove/pricescale;

If { your condition happens } then
Plot1(High+(TickDistance* Mintick)," " );




Hope this helps

Re: Constant Plot Level

Sorry I don't think that I made myself clear.

Have a look at the attached image. You will see a whole raft of showMe's. There are orange and magenta ones x ticks [as you suggested ] above the highs . I have drawn a rectangular box manually that suggests a location that I want all of these plots be be placed. So each plot will be a different distance from each high as each high is different.

A similar situation would be created for low ShowMe's.

Does this make sense?

Re: Constant Plot Level

Apologies for misunderstanding.... so are you only wanting to plot the dots within the box you marked ?

Cheers

Re: Constant Plot Level

Yes I want, if possible the software to calculate a level that is well above the prices on the screen and have all the ShowMe's that I designate plotted at that level.

Re: Constant Plot Level

easy way:
just put the indicator in a separate subchart


programmer's (difficult) way:
mmm... nah, too much trouble... just do it the easy way.

Re: Constant Plot Level

Yes I think this will be too much trouble. Seperate windows seem to take up too much screen real estate plus I may want several horizontal lines of plots one above the other.

Just a thought worth the question.

Thanks
