This simple indicator, draw three vertical lines at specified period Back or Onward from the current period.

If you want to draw line in the future, use a negative period.


Hello Apprentice,

For the Candle LookBack Period Indicator, is it possible to give the user the option to choose whether to draw vertical line or place a marker at the x lookback period? This will help De-clutter the charts.

Thanks

Hi Apprentice,

thanks for the quick response. I was thinking the same marker tool used here (MARKER.lua) :

viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3963&hilit=marker

Symbol is preferred.

thanks

I have taken the liberty to expand a bit on your code, Apprentice. Sorry nazaar, not what you were asking for :)

I changed it so that one can have any number of lines in a day (not just three). At the moment it is set to 24 but it can easily be changed to whatever is required, simply by modifying the number in the first line of the code using a text editor:
Code: Select all
local n_LP = 24
A word of caution to the novice: the larger the number, the larger the menu will become, which, if very large, can have unpredictable effects.

Hope this is useful.

PS: I have also given it a different name.

Hi Apprentice, instead of drawing vertical lines at the specified times could you add the option to draw a wingding arrow instead with the option to adjust arrow size?

I tried doing it myself but could not get it to work right.

was using this:
"instance:createTextOutput ("Wingdings", instance.parameters.ArrowSize, core.H_Center, core.V_Bottom, instance.parameters, 0);"
