Add text label to horizontal lines?

[evanevans]

Is it possible to text label lines? For example, I have support resistance lines in a script, and of course it shows the bubble price, but can I add a text label on top of the lines in the chart, right justified, so I can read what the line(s) are?

For example, you can add text to a vertical line. But what about to a horizontal plot line?

@RoachStock Good catch as I had forgotten to link that Function... Glad you got things sorted...

I take that back. My horizontal line is not working correctly when using GetAveragePrice() function. If I hardcoded the value then the line get displayed as perfect straight line. I just created a new post on this. Perhaps you could take a peek if you don't mind? It has been a frustrating 3 hours trying to figure this out.

Is there a way to show the plot names on the price levels in TOS chart? I have created a custom script to plot Camarilla pivots and want to see the names of each levels along with price preferably.

Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

you can addlabel or addchartbubble

@XeoNoX thank you for the response!!
I do not believe though that AddLabel would show up at the price level? In the screen shot that I've provided in the link below, you can there are 3 price levels I manually added and they show the label and price. I am looking to achieve that via thinkscript.

closest to that without manually added text would be adding a chart bubble.

Looks like it. Thank you again very much for your help!!

@ktrades There is a topic that @BenTen posted in yesterday regarding Chart Alert lines that provide a line and text... The only downfall to this is that once price triggers the Chart Alert the lines goes away... If you can live with that, it's an option... Other than that there isn't another option other than your manual method...

How can I put a title to a horizontal line?

What horizontal line...??? If you are using Drawing Tools you can edit the line properties by Right-Clicking on the line but that Title only shows on-hover... If you want the text visible all the time you need to add it manually using Drawing Tools > Text option...

Have you been in the Learning Center to study up yet...??? If you are a novice trader or new to Thinkorswim it would be well worth your while... Knowledge is power... And better than just coming to the forums thinking you can cherry-pick your way to success... Just sayin...

It can't be done from within a Study unless you were to use AddChartBubble()... You can learn a lot in the Learning Center if you take the time to do so...
