Program to draw "Horizontal Segment" not as Indicator

Patrick Ma · 2019-03-07T04:29:33+00:00

Hi , I am new in using the Forums to seek for help. Please bear with me in case my question has already been addressed in the previous postings. I would like to manually draw a “Horizontal Segment” on a particular Time Chart (eg. 4 hours chart). I know I can do it manually on the 4 hours chart and the “line” will also display in other time charts less than 4 hours. My wish is to write a code such that the intended “Horizontal Segment” object can be drawn automatically according some criteria (not as an indicator, if I do it as an indicator, it will only show up in the 4 hours chart and not in other time chart less than 4 hours). Is it possible to do something like that ? Patrick

If you want to make a code to draw an horizontal segment, it will necessary be an indicator. The graphical objects made with such codes are only visible on the chart on which the indicator is attached, so we are not able to plot them across multiple charts at the same time and with the same indi.

Thank you Nicolas,
There is this “ProRealTrend Line” very powerful able to show the Trend lines on different time charts. I was hoping to do something like that.

I guess the programming to do that is out of the scope for us. It has to be done on the platform level ?
