@Piper2808t Could you please post the code here using the </> post formatting bar icon, using Ruby for syntax highlighting... Members shouldn't be required to import your code in order to review it in an effort to help... Most issues can be resolved via brief visual review alone... Posting the code should always be the practice, whether a shared link is also provided or not...

@Piper2808t Please read the tutorial of how to post to this forum. It explains the correct way to include scripts and images in your post.

Your question doesn't make any sense. You already have all your arrows on your chart. Please be more clear about what the problem is. Mark up your chart in photoshop pointing to the problems. Follow the instructions on how to post in the above link.


Here is what your post should look like:
@Piper2808t has a question about how to plot RSI_Laguerre_Lines_wTargets 15min arrows on a 1min chart.
The chart shows the arrows are already plotting.

@Piper2808t To plot 5min arrows on your 1min chart,
Change this two lines from:
Ruby: 
input MTF = no;
input timeframe = AggregationPeriod.FIFTEEN_MIN ;
To these two lines:
Ruby: 
input MTF = yes;
input timeframe = AggregationPeriod.FIVE_MIN ;

@Piper2808t The link you provided has MTF turned off and is NOT set to 5min.
Please share the link when you have made the changes.
The code seems to be working correctly.

@Piper2808t Personally, I find this hard to believe... Copy & Paste works, period...!!! There is absolutely no reason why, if you can see the code, that you can't use Ctrl + A to Select All, Ctrl + C to Copy, and Ctrl + V to Paste into the code box using the </> icon in the post formatting toolbar, selecting Ruby for code syntax, and saving... Unless you have a problem with your PC this should work... It surely isn't a problem with TOS if you have closed, rebooted, and restarted TOS...

VIP gives you access to additional scripts, not preferential support here in these forums and, if that was the case it would be @BenTen who would need to provide it as the rest of us simply help because we can - without compensation... I'm still chalking it up to operator error as to why only you seem to have a problem posting code here... Copy & Paste isn't something that can be enabled/disabled in the forum software...

This being a busy holiday weekend I don't know if I'll have time to import your link in the first post and take a look into this for you but if I can I will...
