  Hi.

  Is there any help i can get to draw a trend line at 6am. lets say using the 1hour chart .. taking 1am to 6am candles — Draw a trend line connecting a valid swing high with those 6candles  (highest point on that 6candles) to the  most recent swing high of the previous days (previous days high)

   

  is this possible?? please see the attached pic to get an idea!!!  please any help appreciated

  Yes that’s possible, only for an 1 hour timeframe?

  I think it should works like the way you want. I only plot the lines for the current day, otherwise the chart would be filled with plenty of lines of previous days… since we can’t erase what’s already plotted.

  Arrow = 0 Ncandles = 5 Nside = (Ncandles - 1) / 2 ctime = time>010000 and time<=060000 and date=today hh=max(high,hh) if hh<>hh[1] then highbar=barindex endif if intradaybarindex=0 then hh=0 prevhighbar=highbar drawvline(barindex) coloured(255,0,0) endif if ctime then IF high[Nside] >= highest[Ncandles](high) THEN Fup = high[Nside] FupBar = barindex[Nside] Arrow = -1 ENDIF IF Arrow = -1 THEN DRAWtext("o",barindex[2],high[2]+Averagetruerange[5]/3)coloured(255,0,0) drawline(prevhighbar,dhigh(1),FupBar,Fup) ENDIF endif return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

  Arrow = 0 Ncandles = 5   Nside = (Ncandles - 1) / 2   ctime = time>010000 and time<=060000 and date=today   hh=max(high,hh) if hh<>hh[1] then highbar=barindex endif   if intradaybarindex=0 then hh=0 prevhighbar=highbar drawvline(barindex) coloured(255,0,0) endif   if ctime then IF high[Nside] >= highest[Ncandles](high) THEN Fup = high[Nside] FupBar = barindex[Nside] Arrow = -1 ENDIF    IF Arrow = -1 THEN DRAWtext("o",barindex[2],high[2]+Averagetruerange[5]/3)coloured(255,0,0) drawline(prevhighbar,dhigh(1),FupBar,Fup) ENDIF endif   return

  Because no swing high had been detected today on the active instrument between the schedules (from 1AM to 6AM).

  Hi,

   

  I have been trying to find an example that I could use to create a downward and upward trend line based on the highest and lowest bar respectively that includes 3 bars. In otherwords only draw the line if there are 3 points that can be derived. I want to make this work across all the major time frames. I have tried a few examples but I haven’t been able to make it work. The example that was provided in this blog is a good one, only it hits just 2 high points.

  Thank you in advance.

   

  Toby
