This code doesn't draw anything? - page 2

If you use the code as an indicator the lines will move to the right automatically.

Sorry, it needs to be a script as I am going to incorporate it as part of a buy script so it draws the lines automatically (target lines).

I added ray = true but it now draws the line across the whole page all the way to the left where it should really be going the other way :)

If you write a script there's no need to run the whole for cycle. It's a waste of time. You may use this:

//testing variable

double inputlevel = 1.4;


int i;

double level1=inputlevel+(20*Point*10); //+20pips

double level2=inputlevel+(30*Point*10); //+30pips

double level3=inputlevel+(40*Point*10); //+40pips

double level4=inputlevel+(80*Point*10); //+80pips


datetime dtStart = iTime(NULL,PERIOD_M15,4);

datetime dtEnd = iTime(NULL,PERIOD_M15,0);


ObjectDelete("Line1");

ObjectCreate("Line1",OBJ_TREND,0,dtStart,level1, dtEnd, level1);

ObjectSet("Line1",OBJPROP_COLOR,Red);

ObjectSet("Line1",OBJPROP_STYLE,STYLE_SOLID);

ObjectSet("Line1", OBJPROP_RAY, false);

ObjectSet("Line1",OBJPROP_WIDTH,1);

But I'm not sure what you're trying to do.. and why you want the lines to move right. If it is a script it executes, draws the lines, open trades and exits. And that's all.

I had to swap the dtEnd and dtStart round so it would draw Ray lines to the right.

I think I need to leave the loop in or it doesn't know where to start the Bars from.

Thanks for your help.


int start()
  {
double inputlevel = Bid;
//int    counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
int i;
double level1=inputlevel-(20*Point*10); //+20pips
double level2=inputlevel-(30*Point*10); //+30pips
double level3=inputlevel-(40*Point*10); //+40pips
double level4=inputlevel-(80*Point*10); //+80pips

for(i=Bars;i>=+4;i--)
{
    datetime dtStart = iTime(NULL,PERIOD_M15,i-4);
    datetime dtEnd = iTime(NULL,PERIOD_M15,i);
    
    ObjectDelete("Line1");
    ObjectCreate("Line1",OBJ_TREND,0, dtEnd, level1, dtStart, level1); 
    ObjectSet("Line1",OBJPROP_COLOR,LightGreen);
    ObjectSet("Line1",OBJPROP_STYLE,STYLE_SOLID);
    ObjectSet("Line1", OBJPROP_RAY, true);
    ObjectSet("Line1",OBJPROP_WIDTH,2);
 
    ObjectDelete("Line2");
    ObjectCreate("Line2",OBJ_TREND,0, dtEnd, level2, dtStart, level2);
    ObjectSet("Line2",OBJPROP_COLOR,LightGreen);
    ObjectSet("Line2",OBJPROP_STYLE,STYLE_SOLID);
    ObjectSet("Line2", OBJPROP_RAY, true);
    ObjectSet("Line2",OBJPROP_WIDTH,2);

    ObjectDelete("Line3");
    ObjectCreate("Line3",OBJ_TREND,0, dtEnd, level3, dtStart, level3);
    ObjectSet("Line3",OBJPROP_COLOR,LightGreen);
    ObjectSet("Line3",OBJPROP_STYLE,STYLE_SOLID);
    ObjectSet("Line3", OBJPROP_RAY, true);
    ObjectSet("Line3",OBJPROP_WIDTH,2);

    ObjectDelete("Line4");
    ObjectCreate("Line4",OBJ_TREND,0, dtEnd, level4, dtStart, level4);
    ObjectSet("Line4",OBJPROP_COLOR,LightGreen);
    ObjectSet("Line4",OBJPROP_STYLE,STYLE_SOLID);
    ObjectSet("Line4", OBJPROP_RAY, true);
    ObjectSet("Line4",OBJPROP_WIDTH,2);
}
   return(0);

You're welcome. Good luck!

 

Please let me ask again,


what's the point of the (...still buggy...) loop? What does it do besides the heating CPU and delaying start() execution?

I'm really curious.

 

I agree but if you don't add the loop, it draws a line across the entire screen. Must be something to do with finding the bars.

?
