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

      Date: 17th May 2024. Market News – Asian and European futures followed Wall Street lower. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The Dow topped 40,000 for the first time ever, but was unable to close with that historic handle. Concurrently, the S&P tried for its 24th record high this year but failed too. The rise in Treasury yields after stronger than expected import prices, and a drumbeat from Fed officials that rates need to remain high for longer, encouraged profit taking. Most Asian equity markets and European futures have followed Wall Street lower, after US data dented rate cut hikes. Chinese data showing slowed consumption and a drop in home sales, although industrial production numbers looked relatively robust. Japan’s core consumer inflation slowed for a 2nd month in a row in April from a year earlier, while the core consumer prices index (CPI) is expected to decelerate to 2.2% from 2.6% in March, the lowest level in 3 months, but still at or above the central bank’s 2% target for more than two years. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex firmed slightly to 104.518 and up from the day’s nadir of 104.080. But it held a 104 handle for a second straight day. It traded above the 105 level from April 10 until May 15. Silver has surged nearly 25% this year, outpacing Gold and becoming a top-performing commodity, though it remains relatively inexpensive compared to gold. Both metals have hit record highs due to central-bank buying and increased interest in China. USOil is 0.75% higher at $79.23. Market Trends:   All three major US indexes closed slightly in the red after posting all-time highs on Wednesday. The NASDAQ closed with a -0.26% decline, while the S&P500 lost -0.21%, and the Dow was off -0.1% at 39,869. It was a corrective day for Treasuries too. Bonds unwound part of their recent rally that took rates down to the lows since early April. Always trade with strict risk management.
