Help with drawing daily lines

Juan Salas · 2018-01-31T15:39:34+00:00

Hi all, I am trying to create a very basic indicator, to help me visualise a strategy. I would like that everyday horizontal lines will be drawn to visualise some parameters. I have been reading the instructions to draw and create indicators and I am missing something. Right now, I can just see lines from today, and I would like to see different lines for everyday’s values. I am attaching the indicator: // GRID20 Indicator // LevelZERO and Levels 1up/1down defparam drawonlastbaronly = true // GRID distance disgrid1 = 10 disgrid2 = 30 // Defining GRID levels IF time=010000 THEN levelZERO=close ENDIF level1up = levelZERO + disgrid1*pipsize level2up = levelZERO + disgrid2*pipsize level1down = levelZERO - disgrid1*pipsize level2down = levelZERO - disgrid2*pipsize //Drawing text and lines DRAWTEXT("level2UP",barindex-1,level2up,SansSerif,Bold,14)coloured(200,200,0) DRAWTEXT("level1UP",barindex-1,level1up,SansSerif,Bold,14)coloured(0,0,153) DRAWTEXT("levelZERO",barindex-1,levelZERO,SansSerif,Bold,14)coloured(200,153,0) DRAWTEXT("level1DOWN",barindex-1,level1down,SansSerif,Bold,14)coloured(0,0,153) DRAWTEXT("level2DOWN",barindex-1,level2down,SansSerif,Bold,14)coloured(200,200,0) DRAWHLINE(level2up) coloured(0,200,0) DRAWHLINE(level1up) coloured(0,0,150) DRAWHLINE(levelZERO)coloured(0,200,0) DRAWHLINE(level1down)coloured(0,0,150) DRAWHLINE(level2down) coloured(0,200,0) RETURN Thanks, Juan

Hi all,

I am trying to create a very basic indicator, to help me visualise a strategy. I would like that everyday horizontal lines will be drawn to visualise some parameters.

I have been reading the instructions to draw and create indicators and I am missing something. Right now, I can just see lines from today, and I would like to see different lines for everyday’s values.

I am attaching the indicator:
```
// GRID20 Indicator
// LevelZERO and Levels 1up/1down

defparam drawonlastbaronly = true
 
// GRID distance
disgrid1 = 10
disgrid2 = 30

// Defining GRID levels
IF time=010000 THEN
levelZERO=close
ENDIF
 
level1up = levelZERO + disgrid1*pipsize
level2up = levelZERO + disgrid2*pipsize
 
level1down = levelZERO - disgrid1*pipsize
level2down = levelZERO - disgrid2*pipsize

//Drawing text and lines
DRAWTEXT("level2UP",barindex-1,level2up,SansSerif,Bold,14)coloured(200,200,0)
DRAWTEXT("level1UP",barindex-1,level1up,SansSerif,Bold,14)coloured(0,0,153)
DRAWTEXT("levelZERO",barindex-1,levelZERO,SansSerif,Bold,14)coloured(200,153,0)
DRAWTEXT("level1DOWN",barindex-1,level1down,SansSerif,Bold,14)coloured(0,0,153)
DRAWTEXT("level2DOWN",barindex-1,level2down,SansSerif,Bold,14)coloured(200,200,0)


DRAWHLINE(level2up) coloured(0,200,0)
DRAWHLINE(level1up) coloured(0,0,150)
DRAWHLINE(levelZERO)coloured(0,200,0)
DRAWHLINE(level1down)coloured(0,0,150)
DRAWHLINE(level2down) coloured(0,200,0)

RETURN




 
```
Thanks,

why draw on last bar only?

then you should test the code exactly at 1:00am….

;p

Hi Leo,

I don’t understand. If I change/remove/deactivate defparam drawonlastbaronly to false, as you can see in the attached screenshot I still got the same lines from today back in the past, plus the text multiplied by every single bar.

What I want is everyday draw lines at 010000 for that day. It is suppose to be different lines everyday, but now I just got the lines from today all the way to the past.

Thanks

Juan

Hi all,

I got it. It is solved. I have checked some of the indicators of the library and they show how to do it.

Thanks anyway,

Juan

Sure,

Actually, I have copied it from one of your indicators.
```
// GRID20 Indicator
// LevelZERO and Levels 1up/1down

defparam drawonlastbaronly = true
 
// Distancia GRID
disgrid1 = 10
disgrid2 = 30

// Determinición niveles GRID
IF time=010000 THEN
levelZERO=close
ENDIF
 
level1up = levelZERO + disgrid1*pipsize
level2up = levelZERO + disgrid2*pipsize
 
level1down = levelZERO - disgrid1*pipsize
level2down = levelZERO - disgrid2*pipsize

RETURN LevelZERO as "levelZERO", level1up as "level1up", level2up as "level2up", level1down as "level1down", level2down as "level2down"




 
```
I just replaced the drawing lines. The command RETURN and the description of the parameters did it.

Regards,

Juan
