a little help on adding variables

  I have created an indicator which shows you the high and the low price on the one hour candle stick! (only one hour chart)

  defparam CALCULATEONLASTBARS=360 if time=010000 then value=high value2=low Top = value*pointsize DRAWTEXT("---#Top#---",barindex,value) Bottom = value2*pointsize DRAWTEXT("----#Bottom#----",barindex,value2) endif return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  defparam CALCULATEONLASTBARS=360   if time=010000 then value=high value2=low   Top = value*pointsize DRAWTEXT("---#Top#---",barindex,value)   Bottom = value2*pointsize DRAWTEXT("----#Bottom#----",barindex,value2) endif return

  its only on the 12 am candle stick at the moment!!!

  is there a way to add a variable or anything to change the candle stick very easily?

  Ex: lets says if i want to see 6am candle’s high and low price. to change it easily without going in to the code and change the time!!i have tried to add variables but doesn’t seems to be working.. probably im not doing it right!! please any help appreciated!

   

  many thanks

  I added variable MyTime (see attached screenshot) setting 010000 (leading ZEROs are dropped by PRT) as default thet you may change from the Indicator Properties on the chart.

  You can import the attached .ITF file or copy & paste this code:

  defparam CALCULATEONLASTBARS=360 // MyTime = 010000 if time=MyTime then value=high value2=low Top = value//*pointsize DRAWTEXT("---#Top#---",barindex,value) Bottom = value2//*pointsize DRAWTEXT("----#Bottom#----",barindex,value2) endif return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  defparam CALCULATEONLASTBARS=360   // MyTime = 010000   if time=MyTime then    value=high    value2=low    Top = value//*pointsize    DRAWTEXT("---#Top#---",barindex,value)    Bottom = value2//*pointsize    DRAWTEXT("----#Bottom#----",barindex,value2) endif return

  I commented *POINTSIZE, otherwise you won’t see the HIGH and LOW of the candlestick.

  Hi roberto,

  just a quick question regarding this code.. this shows all past the history as,

  defparam CALCULATEONLASTBARS=360

  is it possible to have only the current candle high/low at that time and not show all past history but with a boolean or something – to click and to show up all the past history when we want??

  please let me know.. thanks in advance

  DEFPARAM DrawOnLastBarOnly = True

  1	DEFPARAM DrawOnLastBarOnly = True

  is often the solution, but not in this case if used alone, since if the last bar is NOT equal to MyTime, it would draw nothing!

  So we need to save the values of the prices (they are already saved) and bar, then draw those values at any subsequent bar:

  defparam CALCULATEONLASTBARS=360 defparam DrawOnLastBarOnly =True // MyTime = 010000 if time=MyTime then value=high value2=low mybar =barindex Top = value//*pointsize //DRAWTEXT("---#Top#---",barindex,value) Bottom = value2//*pointsize //DRAWTEXT("----#Bottom#----",barindex,value2) endif DRAWTEXT("---#Top#---",mybar,value+10*pointsize) DRAWTEXT("----#Bottom#----",mybar,value2-10*pointsize) return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  defparam CALCULATEONLASTBARS=360 defparam DrawOnLastBarOnly  =True // MyTime = 010000 if time=MyTime then    value=high    value2=low    mybar =barindex    Top = value//*pointsize    //DRAWTEXT("---#Top#---",barindex,value)    Bottom = value2//*pointsize    //DRAWTEXT("----#Bottom#----",barindex,value2) endif DRAWTEXT("---#Top#---",mybar,value+10*pointsize) DRAWTEXT("----#Bottom#----",mybar,value2-10*pointsize) return

  I added an offset not to display text too close to bars, but you can remove/change it at your convenience, of course.

  Thanks you very much for your help!! it works.. if you remove defparam DrawOnLastBarOnly  =True and use defparam CALCULATEONLASTBARS=360 will sow the history too..

  how can i add a “boolean” to both above so i can have the current time but when i want to see the history (defparam CALCULATEONLASTBARS=360) then i can click and get it in the chart!! i tried but didnt work.. please see the pic

  Variables cannot be used with DEFPARAM, so you will have to modify the code anytime you want to change back to history.

  Or make a loop starting from current barindex ? A boolean variable should work in this case, as an option to select the code without the loop (no history plotted) or with the loop (all history plotted).

  There you go:

  defparam CALCULATEONLASTBARS=360 defparam DrawOnLastBarOnly =True History = 0 //0=NO history 1=YES history MyTime = 010000 MaxLoops = 0 IF History THEN MaxLoops = 359 ENDIF FOR i = 0 TO MaxLoops if time[i]=MyTime then value=high[i] value2=low[i] mybar =barindex[i] Top = value//*pointsize //DRAWTEXT("---#Top#---",barindex,value) Bottom = value2//*pointsize //DRAWTEXT("----#Bottom#----",barindex,value2) endif DRAWTEXT("---#Top#---",mybar,value+10*pointsize) DRAWTEXT("----#Bottom#----",mybar,value2-10*pointsize) NEXT return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

  defparam CALCULATEONLASTBARS=360 defparam DrawOnLastBarOnly  =True History  = 0                               //0=NO history   1=YES history MyTime   = 010000 MaxLoops = 0 IF History THEN    MaxLoops = 359 ENDIF FOR i = 0 TO MaxLoops    if time[i]=MyTime then       value=high[i]       value2=low[i]       mybar =barindex[i]       Top = value//*pointsize       //DRAWTEXT("---#Top#---",barindex,value)       Bottom = value2//*pointsize       //DRAWTEXT("----#Bottom#----",barindex,value2)    endif    DRAWTEXT("---#Top#---",mybar,value+10*pointsize)    DRAWTEXT("----#Bottom#----",mybar,value2-10*pointsize) NEXT return
