Using Both Text and Lines

  Hi Roberto,

   

  I better explain what I am trying to achieve. Using a code that shows me higher time frame bars, I would like to display a text showing me the time frame of those bars..

  I found the way to display the text but it is static (I write here). I would like this text to be variable, depending on what time frame I am using so the text is updated automatically.

  for example

  ******

  if timeframe(6 minutes, updateonclose) then

  DEFPARAM DrawOnlastBarOnly = true
  Rge = averagetruerange[2](close)
  ShiftText = 1
  DRAWTEXT(“6 min”, BarIndex,High+Rge/0.4 / ShiftText / 1,SansSerif,Standard,18) COLOURED(20,150,150,255)
  RETURN

  *****

  and so that if I change the time frame parameters to 10 minutes for example, the resulting text will be 10 min. Is there a way to do this?

  Add this ON your chart:
