Description:

This function draws a rectangle on the chart

2 points are required to draw the rectangle:
the top left corner and the bottom right corner

TL_Rectangle requires 8 input variables
the top left corner date, time and price
the bottom right corner date, time and price
as well as the color and thickness of the lines

TL_Rectangle requires the dates in EasyLanguage format





A demonstration indicator is attached below


Note:
This EasyLanguage indicator was written in MultiCharts.
I have not tested it in other compatible programs.

EXACTLY !!!

What I have created is the FUNCTION
The indicator is for demonstration only.

When writing your own indicator... you can put any variables you like for the rectangle coordinates.

The rectangle size and position can change with every tick and every bar as the market unfolds.

Hi Tams,

if a specific condition is met, i want to delete the rectangle. Does somebody has an easy solutiion where to put in the 4 tl_delete. Into the function before if value1 = 0 then or into the main code?

[Tams]

you have to use TL_get... to find the lines before you can delete.

you can modify the function to pass the IDs:

id.tl.top(-1),
id.tl.bot(-1),
id.tl.left(-1),
id.tl.right(-1);
