How to script a drawing "Trendline"?

[Stoynks]

I think I meant the drawing "Price Level" but the same idea/concept.

Once I mark my trendline on the chart with a certain price, is it possible to automatically create two additional lines? One that's 90% of the main trendline and the other at 130%. Let's say I draw the main trendline at $5.00. It would also create a risk/stop-loss at $4.50 which is 90% of the main trendline. And at 130% of the main trendline, a line would be created at $6.50 which would be my reward or sell for profit.

@Stoynks The TOS platform has no ability to interact w/ lines and other graphics created w/ the drawing tools. Is that what you are asking?

 

[Stoynks]

I think so. But, for example, for the Fibonacci Retracements, you can edit the properties. I just want to know if you can edit the properties for the drawing "Trendline" or "Price Level" by adding two additional lines with a 90% line and a 130% line. Would this be possible? Or is there anything similar to like this? Is there a drawing that I don't know of where you can have multiple price levels?

@Stoynks I see where you are going. The retracement drawings are saved as patterns and therefore they have some interactive properties. What you output from your drawing tools are saved as a graphics blob of points w/ no interactive properties.

@Stoynks Have you tried creating a simple study with adjustable inputs? Something similar to

input beginlevel = 5.00;

plot lowlevel = pricelevel - (.10 * beginlevel);
plot centerlevel = beginlevel;
plot highlevel = pricelevel + (1.3 * beginlevel);

You should be able to adjust the price level on that. Maybe try locking your toolbar onto each chart and adding this indicator as a selection to make accessing it easier.

Amazing work. Thank you for this. This makes it more convenient. Is it possible to make it more convenient to change the price rather than going to edit properties? Since the market is so volatile.

@Stoynks The only way that I can think to make it more convenient would be to use a variable value rather than a defined input. What do you base your manually drawn price level off of?

I base my price level on condensation/support level so I'm not sure if TOS can accurately measure/or know when the price is condensing or at a support level. That's why It would be better if I manually handle the price level, and TOS just handles the 90% and 130% which I don't know if it's possible.

If TOS can implement the thinkscript you just created for me, the "beginlevel" as a drawing tool that way I can quickly create a price level using my cursor on the chart, that would be a godsend.

@Stoynks You can submit that as a request to TOS, but I'm afraid that it might not get much attention. If you do, market it to the TOS support team as "a risk-reward drawing tool that bases off of a price level", or something like that.

They have an empty spot anyway in their drawing tool collection, it needs filling in.
