Horizontal Lines In ThinkOrSwim

@SleepyZ How can I plot a simple horizontal line representing the average price over a 52-week period? Thanks in advance.

This will create a horizontal line at your option either across the chart or expansion at the last 52 week average price.

Ruby:
input show_on_expansion_only = no;
input show_bubble            = yes;

def avgprice   = if IsNaN(close) then avgprice[1] else HighestAll(Average(close(period = AggregationPeriod.WEEK), 52));

plot avg52week = if show_on_expansion_only and !IsNaN(close) then Double.NaN else avgprice;
avg52week.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

input bubblemover = 4;
def   b  = bubblemover;
def   b1 = b + 1;
AddChartBubble(show_bubble and !IsNaN(close[b1]) and IsNaN(close[b]), avgprice[b], "Avg52W \n" + AsText(avgprice[b1]), if close[b1] > avgprice[b1] then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

How can I include the high in the AFTERMARKET?
 
Ruby:
input StartDate = 20191003;
def hh = if GetYYYYMMDD() == StartDate then high else if high > hh[1] then high else hh[1];
plot higherHigh = if GetYYYYMMDD() < StartDate then Double.NaN else hh;
higherHigh.SetPaintingStrategy(12);

Happy Holidays,

would you post revised code for that plots higher highs for 5 minute charts?

regards,
 
@jmtraderguy try this

Code:
#
input price = close;
input length1 = 15;
input length2 = 30;
input averageType1 = AverageType.SIMPLE;
input averageType2 = AverageType.SIMPLE;
input crossingType = {default above, below};

plot avg1 = MovingAverage(averageType1, price, length1);
plot avg2 = MovingAverage(averageType2, price, length2);
def sigtest;
switch(crossingType){
case above:
sigtest = avg1 crosses above avg2;
case below:
sigtest = avg1 crosses below avg2;
}

def sigline = if sigtest then (avg1+avg2)/2 else if sigtest[1] and !sigtest then (avg1[1]+avg2[1])/2 else sigline[1];
plot signal = sigline;
signal.DefineColor("Above", GetColor(6));
signal.DefineColor("Below", GetColor(7));
signal.AssignValueColor(if crossingType == crossingType.above then signal.Color("Above") else signal.Color("Below"));

signal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

I know this was posted a while ago, but would it be possible to run the same scenario using the TOS demand index that:
  • Draws a green horizontal line on the close of a candle where the demand Index is greater than the demand index from one bar ago
  • Draws a red horizontal line on the close of a candle where the demand Index is less than the demand index from one bar ago
  • Draws a green horizontal line on the close of a candle where the demand Index crosses above zero
  • Draws a red horizontal line on the close of a candle where the demand Index crosses below zero
It would be ideal if the horizontal line extends across the chart for the remainder of the day (Like pivot points).

Thank you in advance!!!

you had 2 sets of rules, that drew the same colors at the same place. because of this, you would not know which rule was triggered. so i changed the colors for the signal crossing zero, to cyan and yellow.
i added a 5th color, gray, just in case the signal moves horizontal, the same number for 2 bars in a row.

i copied the original demandindex study. sometimes i do this if the original isn't too long and too be able to better understand all of the finished code.

i have it set to start drawing a horizontal, dashed line, 1 bar after the last bar, and extend to the right of the screen.

i left my test bubbles and labels at the end. they can be turned on, to show some variable values.

on my charts, i added the original lower study, demandindex, to compare and verify.
this may not work as expected with extended hours turned on.

Thank you so much! Is there a way to keep the lines visible for the day? I just tried it and there's only one line at the current bar.
 
Thank you so much! Is there a way to keep the lines visible for the day? I just tried it and there's only one line at the current bar.
o sorry, having 1 line at a time is how interpreted your rules,
when do you want a line to stay on the chart ?
 
Yes, please :)

version 2 of demandindex lines

this will,
. show a short line after every bar,
. or 1 line after the last bar.

lines colored by the movement of the demandindex study.
. move up , green
. move down , red
. cross above 0 , cyan
. cross below 0 , yellow
. flat , gray


study settings

show_many_lines = yes
with this set to yes, it draws lines from each bar, spanning 3 bars.
with it set no, it draws 1 line, after the last bar.

lines_offset = 0
with this set to 0, the short lines start at the data bar.
if it is set to 1, then the lines start 1 bar after the data bar.

barsBack = 1000
this is used for the line after the last bar.
if there are more than 1000 bars on the chart, make this bigger.

i left my test bubble code in. they display variable values. set to yes to see them.

applies to any timeframe automatically but doesn't
have 25% or 75% lines if someone wanted to
improve on that

Code:
def value = (high + low) / 2;
def value_fix = if isnan(value) then value_fix[1] else value;

plot Fib50 = if isnan(close[-1]) then value_fix else double.nan;
Fib50.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.DASHES);
Fib50.SetDefaultColor(color.white);

How do I show a horizontal line at price action on charts
I want a horizontal line to move with price action. See if i can use it to find intraday support and resistance. Maybe? Thank You.

I moved your question to this thread. There are 11 pages of line plot scripts. Plug&Play and see what fits your needs.
Have fun!

I'm trying to print a horizontal line with this code. The label works, but the line won't. I know its something dumb.

def parsar = reference parabolicSAR();
addlabel(yes, "PARSAR[1]) " + astext(parsar[1]), color.white);


input level = (parsar[1]);

plot a = level + 0;

Here are 2 ways to display the horizontal line.
Plot a will pot the last value of parsar[1] across the whole chart.
Plot b will plot the parsar[1] and extend the last parsar[1] to the right.

Ruby:
def parsar = reference parabolicSAR();
addlabel(yes, "PARSAR[1]) " + astext(parsar[1]), color.white);

def level = if isnan(close) then level[1] else parsar[1];

plot a = highestall(if !isnan(parsar) and isnan(parsar[-1]) then level else double.nan);
plot b = level;
a.setpaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
b.setpaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

Thank you,

That solved one of the problems I was having with the other psar break code. It would put a line at the high/low of where the psar broke not the actual spot.

I see now that what I have is referencing the one before, not where it broke the last cycle.

The blue line is the one from your code.

I'm trying to make the red lines happen.

Regrettably, TOS does not have a way to repeat extended horizontal lines to the right edge of the chart without a separate plot for each.

Here is code for 3 up and 3 down plots you requested. You can create more using the same logic you can see between extended u and d plots.

The image includes the ParabolicSAR indicator for testing purposes.
