AddChartBubble((barnumber and D1), if isUp then low else high, if showarrows and signal < 0 and signal[1] >= 0 then "Sell $" + high else "", if Colorbars == 3 then Color.Plum else Color.Uptick, yes);
^^^^^^
( I like it blank for color.plum)
is there a way to tell addchartbubble to add a blank bubble instead of color?

Thank you,

Without providing all of the code, I could not test the following, but it may work as you want:

Ruby: 
AddChartBubble((barnumber and D1), if isUp then low else high, if colorbars == 3 then "" else if !colorbars == 3 and showarrows and signal < 0 and signal[1] >= 0 then "Sell $" + high else "", if Colorbars == 3 then Color.Plum else Color.Uptick, yes);

Can someone help create chart bubble for this indicator that plots horizontal lines?

# Auto Horizontal Lines

input price1 = 130;

plot l1 = price1;
Click to expand...

Try this

Ruby: 
# Auto Horizontal Lines

input price1 = 130;

plot l1 = price1;

input bubblemover = 3;
def b  = bubblemover;
def b1 = b + 1;
AddChartBubble(!IsNaN(close[b1]) and IsNaN(close[b]), l1, l1, Color.WHITE);

What I was trying to do was create a chart bubble that I could add text to. I'm charting lines from spot gamma for support and resistance and wanted to use a script to draw lines that also included chart bubble "wall call" and "put wall" and so on. Here is what I got but it's not working:

# Auto Horizontal Lines

input price1 = 130;

plot l1 = price1;

AddChartBubble (price1, 130, "test", color.red, no);

I appreciate your help :)

What I posted above should work with the addition of the text you wanted. You can move the bubble sideways at the input bubblemover. Also, you can add a line to the text below by replacing "test" with "text\n"+l1 and the bubble will display as

130

I have one more piece I need help with. I want multiple lines. What do I do to add more lines? I'm guessing it is part of the input bubblemover part, right? Is there a limit to how many lines I can add?

# Auto Horizontal Lines

input price1 = 130;
input price2 = 131;

plot l1 = price1;
plot l2 = price1;

input bubblemover = 3;
def b = bubblemover;
def b1 = b + 1;

input bubblemover2 = 3;
def b2 = bubblemover;
def b2 = b + 1;

AddChartBubble(!IsNaN(close[b1]) and IsNaN(close), l1, "Call Wall " + l1, Color.LIGHT_RED, no);
AddChartBubble(!IsNaN(close[b2]) and IsNaN(close), l2, "Put Wall " + l2, Color.GREEN, no);

Yes, you can add as many lines as needed. Your code had both l1 and l2 equal to price1, causing you not being able to see the additional line.
Also, you do not need the bubblemover2 code. See below for modifications that should help.

# Auto Horizontal Lines

input price1 = 130;

plot l1 = price1;

What am I doing wrong on this coding? I put the # in front of the input lines to clean up the input screen for the separate studies I had to create. If I can reduce the 5 studies into one study that would be the desired outcome. Horizontal lines plot, and an alert when the close crosses any one of them.

The numbers represent Gerald Appel's "Magic Numbers" as written in his Systems and Forecasts newsletter. His were between 8 and 154. I extrapolated the other numbers above and below his. His are based on observations, mine are based on math and round numbers for the most part.

If you have preset numbers, then just a plot is needed, without the input statement.

I have made the adjustments and added alerts that should work.

plot price2 =  1;
plot price3 =  1.2;
plot price4 =  1.5;
plot price5 =  1.75;

plot price7 =  2.75;
plot price8 =  3.5;
plot price9 =  4.25;
plot price10 =  5.25;
plot price11 =  6.5;
plot price12 =  8;
plot price13 =  10;
plot price14 =  12.25;
plot price15 =  14;
plot price16 =  16;
plot price17 =  20.25;
plot price18 =  24.5;
plot price19 =  28.75;
plot price20 =  33;
plot price21 =  38.5;

plot price43 =  1250;
plot price44 =  1500;
plot price45 =  1800;
plot price46 =  2170;

This does work as expected. Thank you so much.

I'm trying to learn coming from a non programming background. The inputs was the issue on the plots? I'm trying to learn what was "Invalid" about the coding. I do appreciate your help.

I see, and get, the logic on the alerts you added. Can a Label to show on the chart header be added if the alert has been triggered? The Alert box is good but fleeting. I'm guessing a long if-then-else would be required for the label?

AddLabel(1, “magic nbr cross “ + If close crosses price1, then price1 else
If close crosses price2, then price2 else
If close crosses price3, then price3 else
If close crosses price4, then price4 else
If close crosses price5, then price5 else
color.dark_green);

or something like that?

Thank you again.

Your code had a syntax error at plot 20 = price10;. You cannot start a plot name with a number. You could do this plot "20" = price10; As all of the other plot names began with the letter 'l', then I asume you just made a typo from l9 to 20.

Yes, you could try a long if/else if/else statement within a label. This uses a 'within x bars' to keep the label displayed so you can see it for awhile.

Screenshot-2022-11-17-133329.png
Ruby: 
input x     = 3;
plot price1 = 14.68;
plot price2 = 14.73;
addlabel(1,
if close crosses price1 within x bars then "Cross " + price1 else
if close crosses price2 within x bars then "Cross " + price2 else
"",
color.yellow);

Thank you for the help, and the explanation on the error, and the Label code. I would have been back on the label code looking for the else "" I am positive.

Thank you again for all the help. I really appreciate it.
