Drawing a segment on BARINDEX

  Hi,

  I have set DEFPARAM CalculateOnLastBars = 10 in my code.

  As an example I would like to do DRAWSEGMENT(BARINDEX – 20, 100, BARINDEX, 100)

  This does not render because of the CalculateOnLastBars. Is there any way to draw something on a bar that is further away than what I have set CalculateOnLastBars?

  /Peter

  Hi Peter, that’s not possible. With a CalculateOnLastBars = 10, the last 10 bars only are loaded into history and therefore you can’t use the other ones displayed on your price chart.

  Thank you so much for swift reply.

  Is there any way to draw something of a line extending to left from BARINDEX.

  If I choose DRAWLINE it covers everything even right side of BARINDEX.

  That’s only possible in version 11 with a third X coordinate:

  defparam calculateonlastbars=20 DRAWSEGMENT(barindex[0], close[0], barindex[5], close[5],barindex[10]) return

  1 2 3 4 5

  defparam calculateonlastbars=20   DRAWSEGMENT(barindex[0], close[0], barindex[5], close[5],barindex[10])   return
