ELD for Bar Text in Corner

I have been having problems changing the following indicator to print the bar close. The indicator currently prints the current bar and previous bars' high and low. What I am trying to do is change it to print the previous bars high low and close. The close in a nice over sized text and a bright color like yellow or light green. The text prints in the upper right corner of the chart. Below is the code . If anyone could tell me what lines to enter or change and where I would be most grateful.

 

 

 

Input:

RangeAmount ( 1),

Decimal ( 2),

Text_Color (rgb(100,255,150)),

UpColor (rgb(255,255,255)), // You pick the color

DnColor (rgb(255,0,0)),

Percent ( 5), // Top of screen = 0, Bottom of screen = 100.

BelowFactor ( 2); // Percent amount for 2nd line to appear below first line.

 

Var:

CurrentBarHigh ( 0 ),

CurrentBarLow ( 0 ),

PreviousBarHigh ( 0 ),

PreviousBarLow ( 0 ),

PlacementHolder ( 0 ),

RangeAmountPrevious ( 0 ),

Text_ID1 (-1 ),

Text_ID2 (-1 ),

Text_ID3 (-1 ),

Text_ID4 (-1 ),

Left_ID ( 0 ),

Right_ID ( 0 ),

High_ID ( 0 ),

Low_ID ( 0 ),

Offset ( 0 );

CurrentBarHigh = H;

CurrentBarLow = L;

PreviousBarHigh = High[1];

PreviousBarLow = Low[1];

RangeAmountPrevious = High[1] - Low[1];

 

// This draws the text on the first bar

once if currentbar = 1 then begin

if Text_ID1 = -1 then begin

Text_ID1 = Text_New( Date, Time, 0, " " ) ;

end;

if Text_ID2 = -1 then begin

Text_ID2 = Text_New( Date, Time, 0, " " ) ;

end;

if Text_ID3 = -1 then begin

Text_ID3 = Text_New( Date, Time, 0, " " ) ;

end;

if Text_ID4 = -1 then begin

Text_ID4 = Text_New( Date, Time, 0, " " ) ;

end;

end;

 

// This updates the text and places it in the upper right corner

Left_ID = GetAppInfo( aiLeftDispDateTime );

Right_ID = GetAppInfo( aiRightDispDateTime );

High_ID = GetAppInfo( aiHighestDispValue );

Low_ID = GetAppInfo( aiLowestDispValue );

Offset = ((high_ID - Low_ID)*.01); { 1% of chart height. Then Pcnt (Input) becomes Percent height of chart}

 

Text_setstring(Text_ID1,numtostr(PreviousBarHigh,decimal)+" ");

Text_SetLocation( Text_ID1,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60*24 ),High_ID - (Offset * percent) ) ;

Text_SetStyle( Text_ID1, 1,0 ) ;

Text_SetColor(Text_ID1, Text_Color);

Text_setstring(Text_ID2,numtostr(CurrentBarHigh,decimal));

Text_SetLocation( Text_ID2,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60*24 ),High_ID - (Offset * percent) ) ;

Text_SetStyle( Text_ID2, 1,0 ) ;

Text_SetColor(Text_ID2, Text_Color);

Text_setstring(Text_ID3,numtostr(PreviousBarLow,decimal)+" ");

Text_SetLocation( Text_ID3,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60*24 ),High_ID - (Offset * percent)*BelowFactor ) ;

Text_SetStyle( Text_ID3, 1,0 ) ;

Text_SetColor(Text_ID3, Text_Color);

Text_setstring(Text_ID4,numtostr(CurrentBarLow,decimal));

Text_SetLocation( Text_ID4,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60*24 ),High_ID - (Offset * percent)*BelowFactor ) ;

Text_SetStyle( Text_ID4, 1,0 ) ;

Text_SetColor(Text_ID4, Text_Color);

 

// This colors the previous bars range numbers

 

If RangeAmountPrevious > RangeAmount then begin

Text_SetColor(Text_ID1, DnColor);

Text_SetColor(Text_ID3, DnColor);

end;

If RangeAmountPrevious < RangeAmount then begin

Text_SetColor(Text_ID1, UpColor);

Text_SetColor(Text_ID3, UpColor);

end;

If RangeAmountPrevious = RangeAmount then begin

Text_SetColor(Text_ID1, Text_Color);

Text_SetColor(Text_ID3, Text_Color);

end;

Hi Hunter

 

U've posted 9 days ago w/o any reply... 2 sad ...

 

I suggest a more structured method 2 have a chance 2 get help here

 

- Say your level in programming

 

- Xplain shortly the framework of your question

 

- Say where comes from your code

 

- Define clearly your goals

 

A) print the previous bars

high

low

close

 

B) close in a

16 sized text

color yellow

 

C) text prints in the

upper right corner of the chart

 

- Reformat seperate and comment each part of your code

 

- Learn each function in your manual

 

- Understand the logic behind

 

- Xperiment different parameters and watch the result on the screen

 

- Use the search field 2 find equivalent questions in the forum

 

- Go back 2 your thread with the result of your personnal work

 

- Ask only 1 short + precise + illustrated ( picture, mockup, ...) question at a time

 

- If nobody answers after a while try again in a different way 2 move up your thread

 

IMO these suggestion will show your motivation 2 find the solution and will motivate PP 2 help U

 

regards

Hi

 

play with this line of code :)

 

Text_setstring(Text_ID1,"H : " + numtostr(PreviousBarHigh,decimal)+"  ");
Text_SetLocation( Text_ID1,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60* 24 ),High_ID - (Offset * percent)*-BelowFactor/2 ) ;
Text_SetStyle( Text_ID1, 1,0 ) ;
Text_SetColor(Text_ID1, Text_Color);
Text_setstring(Text_ID2,"C : " + numtostr(PreviousBarCLOSE,decimal)+"  ");
Text_SetLocation( Text_ID2,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60* 24 ),High_ID - (Offset * (percent)) ) ;
Text_SetStyle( Text_ID2, 1,0 ) ;
Text_SetColor(Text_ID2, Text_Color);
Text_setstring(Text_ID3,"L : " + numtostr(PreviousBarLow,dEcimal)+" ");
Text_SetLocation( Text_ID3,JulianToDate( IntPortion(Right_ID)),MinutesToTime( FracPortion(Right_ID)*60* 24 ),High_ID - (Offset * (percent))*BelowFactor ) ;
Text_SetStyle( Text_ID3, 1,0 ) ;
Text_SetColor(Text_ID3, Text_Color);

 

I've put *-belowfactor in prev high so text is shifted up , and insert text H,C,L

      How did you suspect you have cancer?

      By analyst75 · Posted

      Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

      What is the ugly truth of getting older?

      By analyst75 · Posted

      As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
