Does anyone know a coder who would be able to code a trend line on an indicator?
A simple example attached.
Thanks

if you can define the criteria of the trendline,
it can be coded.

The objective is to have a series of diagonal lines superimposed on indicators.
There are two criteria.
The easier of the two is a line that has a starting point based on the indicator numerical value above/below a set value, eg, 95 - 185.
So a 'support' line would be below zero starting at an adjustable value from -95 to -185 and a resistance line above zero starting at an adjustable value from +95 to +185. It will go over/under the closing values of the indicator.
The other criteria for the line is based on price and where there are price highs and lows.
The superimposed indicator could also show a vertical line on the indicator itself so the lines can also have a start point based on price.
For example, taking the CCI indicator, the parameters would need to be user set for the 'period' setting, to the levels (values) from which the line would start.
Is that enough information or do you want to get more?

All I can see is a blurb of something...

you need to convey your idea in a logical step-by-step fashion.
because the computer cannot read your mind,
it can only take instructions
and you have to give the instruction as if you are drawing the line by hand.

try writing your ideas one at a time,
write them out in steps...
one line at a time,
one idea/step per line,
if you have more than one idea in a single line,
the computer won't understand you.

eg...
if this bar's high is higher than previous bar's high, then
I would consider a peak is made.
if a peak is made, then
starting drawing a line at the peak.

I thank you for your reply.
