Thank you thank you thank youAnotherBrian wrote:Screenshot, code, and file below.hannele wrote: Hi Brian,
Not automatically ( I have seen that one too ). Idea is that I draw the trend lines in different timeframes but every time frame is automatically different colour so when I go on the small time frame in one glance I can see longer time frame trend lines and identify what timeframe they came from.
cheers

This is a script - put it in experts/scripts folder. Drag it to the chart and it will draw a line for you that matches the colour you have defined for the current time frame.
Feel free to open up the file and change colours etc, it's easy to do, you could learn something, and the coders would rather have you learn these really really simple things. Line width can be adjusted as well, see comments inside the code.
To modify the code (don't be scared to do this, you can't "wreck" anything) - right click the file inside Empty4. "modify" - make the text changes, click the "compile" button at the top, try the script again. Keep doing this until you get what you want. If you press "compile" and a RED message appears at the bottom right after doing this - you have an error and this will probably confuse you. Start over with a fresh copy of the file.
Code: Select all
color LineColor = Orange; int start() { double Price_on_Drop = WindowPriceOnDropped(); datetime time = WindowTimeOnDropped(); int TimeNow; int timeframe = Period(); string TF.Text = "undefined"; if(IsConnected()) {TimeNow = TimeCurrent();} else {TimeNow = time;} double point = 0; if (Digits == 3 || Digits == 5) { point = Point*10; } else { point = Point; } switch(timeframe) { case 1 : TF.Text = "1 Min"; LineColor = Black;//change this line for color - this one is for 1 min chart. the color names can be seen in other indicators break; case 5 : TF.Text = "5 Min"; LineColor = Black; break; case 15 : TF.Text = "15 Min"; LineColor = Violet; break; case 30 : TF.Text = "30 Min"; LineColor = Black; break; case 60 : TF.Text = "1Hr"; LineColor = Orange; break; case 240 : TF.Text = "4Hr"; LineColor = Blue; break; case 1440 : TF.Text = "Daily"; LineColor = Brown; break; case 10080 : TF.Text = "Weekly"; LineColor = Green; break; case 43200 : TF.Text = "Monthly"; LineColor = Red; break; } string LevelName = TF.Text + "_level__id:" + Price_on_Drop; string LevelNameFill = TF.Text + "_level__id_fill:" + Price_on_Drop; ObjectCreate(LevelName, OBJ_TREND, 0, time,Price_on_Drop, time+Period()*60*100,Price_on_Drop); ObjectSet(LevelName,OBJPROP_RAY,1);//make the lines continue to the right ObjectSet(LevelName,OBJPROP_COLOR, LineColor); ObjectSet(LevelName,OBJPROP_BACK,1); ObjectSet(LevelName,OBJPROP_WIDTH,2);//the width of the line ObjectSet(LevelName,OBJPROP_FONTSIZE,14); ObjectSetText( LevelName, TF.Text, 0, "", CLR_NONE); return(0); }
