ELD for Bar Text in Corner

Recommended Posts

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

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) ) ;

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
