Vertical Labels??

[JP782]

For those who use study indicators with labels is there any way to have the labels display in a vertical column vs across the top of a study or chart? I tried searching here cant find anything on it

No, only horizontally in Thinkorswim...

You can workaround the addlabel() function only being horizontally displayed, by using the addchartbubble() function. The major problem is that the bubbles will not scroll as you move around the chart like the addlabel().

The following chart displays bubbles in columns placed in the right expansion area and the same bubbles displaced to the left by use of the bubblemover input (negative numbers move the bubbles to the left).

The bubbles are 'stacked' in a column either from the top or bottom of the chart by having the code declared as a lower indicator and moved to the upper panel, with the left-axis option disabled. The line inputs of 100 and 0 then will be used as a point to anchor the bubbles.

In each of the bubbles is an explanation how to display data.

declare lower;

plot x1=100;
plot y1=0;
x1.setdefaultColor(color.gray);
y1.setdefaultColor(color.gray);


input bubblemover  = 5; #used to move the bubble left and right
def n    = bubblemover;
def n1   = n + 1;
input ud = 5; #used to move the bubble up and down
AddChartBubble(!isnan(close[n1]) and IsNaN(close[n]),
              100,
               "Enter Text Here\nEnter another line of text by using the\nbackwardslash n (\ n) function" + "\nYou can add data eg " + close[n1],
                Color.WHITE, no);
AddChartBubble(!isnan(close[n1]) and IsNaN(close[n]),
              100,
               "Enter Text Here\nEnter another line of text by using the\nbackwardslash n (\ n) function" + "\nYou can add data eg " + close[n1],
                Color.green, no);
AddChartBubble(!isnan(close[n1]) and IsNaN(close[n]),
              100,
               "Enter Text Here\nEnter another line of text by using the\nbackwardslash n (\ n) function" + "\nYou can add data eg " + close[n1],
                Color.red, no);

AddChartBubble(!isnan(close[n1]) and IsNaN(close[n]),
             0,
               "Enter Text Here\nEnter another line of text by using the\nbackwardslash n (\ n) function" + "\nYou can add data eg " + close[n1],
                Color.WHITE, yes);
AddChartBubble(!isnan(close[n1]) and IsNaN(close[n]),
             0,
               "Enter Text Here\nEnter another line of text by using the\nbackwardslash n (\ n) function" + "\nYou can add data eg " + close[n1],
                Color.WHITE, yes);

@SleepyZ Nice concept...

Your documentation is incorrect, however... You referred to the \ Backslash as a / Forwardslash... They are named in accordance with the direction the top of the slash leans... Or think of how you would lean, forward or backward if you were walking from left to right across the sceen, in the direction you type...

Thanks for noting the issue. I understand the difference and just typed it wrong. I have edited the code to correct the word to backwordslash..

Interesting, how would I add this label
AddLabel(yes, "MACD L√”, if cond_all1 == 2 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);
into a bubble?

@JP382 It is always helpful when you provide the whole script when asking a question.
I don't have the whole script so the following code is theoretical. The syntax is correct, should work. If not, below are links that will help you write your own chart bubbles.

AddChartBubble (if cond_all1 == 2, close, "MACD L√”, if cond_all1 == 2 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);
