Hi guys,

I would like to plot some dots at the top of daily chart, right under labels.
At the moment i use Highest(high, 100) * 1.05 to set the distance from price, you can probably guess it does not work very well due to variety of stock price, it shows the dots all over the place.
What is best way to show these dots that work with all stocks from $1-$2000 ?
If they can appear right under the labels it will be ideal.

Thanks

you could use highestall(high) to find the highest price,
then adjust the vertical expansion area to shift the displayable chart area down.
if you pan and zoom, the displayed screen could shift vertically

settings > price axis >
. expansion area %up ( try 20 )

Code:
input factor_percent = 0.5;
def y1 =...

plot z1 = y1 * (1 + factor_percent/100);
z1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.POINTS);
z1.SetDefaultColor(Color.cyan);
z1.setlineweight(3);
z1.hidebubble();

if fit studies is checked, then it will alter what you see
