[newwax]

Hello Friends,

im trying to create an indicator that puts a dot or arrow above bars where HIGH or LOW = OPEN. im gettin stuck when it comes to plot. anybody out there able to assist.

any/all help much appreciated. code below.


input period= aggregationPeriod.day;
input showarrows = yes;


def open= open (period = aggregationPeriod.DAY);

def high = open(period = aggregationPeriod.DAY);
def low = open(period = aggregationPeriod.DAY);


plot arrows = high == open (period = aggregationPeriod.DAY);

you didn't clearly state what you are trying to do.
do you want to compare the days open? or every bar open?

you are trying to create a variable called open, a name that is used by the system. same with high and low. that is bad practice and leads to wrong data. create unique variable names.

your plot value is true or false, 1 or 0. so it plots a line at 0 or 1.
need to add plot parameter statements to tell it what you want to plot.


this compares the open on each bar, to the high and low on each bar. if a match then it plotys a dot

#hilo_match_open

def na = double.nan;
def bn = barnumber();

#input period = aggregationPeriod.day;
#input showarrows = yes;
#def openday = open(period = aggregationPeriod.DAY);

plot zhi = if high == open then high*1.001 else na;
zhi.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.POINTS);
zhi.SetDefaultColor(Color.cyan);
zhi.setlineweight(5);
zhi.hidebubble();

plot zlo = if low == open then low*0.999 else na;
zlo.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.POINTS);
zlo.SetDefaultColor(Color.yellow);
zlo.setlineweight(5);
zlo.hidebubble();
