VerticalLines

[woulf1004]

Hi,

I am using a couple of different ways to plot vertical lines on a tick chart, but for some reason only the assigned "OPEN" vertical line plots on the chart.
Is there a reason why the other vertical lines won't work?

input targetTime930 = 930;
def OPEN = SecondsFromTime(targetTime930) == 0;
AddVerticalLine(OPEN, "OPEN", Color.RED);

input targetTime1030 = 1030;
def IB = SecondsFromTime(targetTime1030) == 0;
AddVerticalLine(IB, "IB", Color.CYAN);

input targetTime1355 = 1355;
def LAST_5mn = SecondsFromTime(targetTime1355) == 0;
AddVerticalLine(LAST_5mn, "LAST_5mn", Color.WHITE);

input showverticals = yes;

AddVerticalLine(showverticals and SecondsFromTime(0930) == 0, "OPEN", Color.RED);
AddVerticalLine(showverticals and SecondsFromTime(1030) == 0, "IB", Color.CYAN);
AddVerticalLine(showverticals and SecondsFromTime(1355) == 0, "LAST_5mn", Color.WHITE);

Any genius mind that can help please?

1. Your script was using an exact time with 'secondsfromtime(x....)==0'.
2. If a time desired does not plot at that exact time then the verticallline will also not plot.
3. However a way around that is to plot the closest time to the desired time. This is done with secondsfromTime(x....)[1] < 0 and SecondsFromTime(x....) >= 0

input targetTime930 = 930;
def OPEN = SecondsFromTime(targetTime930) == 0;
AddVerticalLine(OPEN, "OPEN", Color.RED);

input targetTime1030 = 1030;
def IB = SecondsFromTime(targetTime1030) == 0;
AddVerticalLine(IB, "IB", Color.CYAN);

input targetTime1355 = 1355;
def LAST_5mn = SecondsFromTime(targetTime1355) == 0;
AddVerticalLine(LAST_5mn, "LAST_5mn", Color.WHITE);

input showverticals = yes;

AddVerticalLine(showverticals and SecondsFromTime(0930) == 0, "OPEN", Color.RED);
AddVerticalLine(showverticals and secondsfromTime(1030)[1]<0 and SecondsFromTime(1030) >= 0, "IB", Color.CYAN);
AddVerticalLine(showverticals and secondsfromTime(1355)[1]<0 and SecondsFromTime(1355) >= 0, "LAST_5mn", Color.WHITE);

Genius! Thank you!!!!
