A trend line is a linear function, y = mx + c, so with 2 trend lines you have 2 linear functions so all you need to do is solve the 2 equations when y and x are the same for both equations. First you need the m and c values for each line, c is the offset of each line at the same time coordinate, and m is the gradient/slope. Once you have your 2 equations you use substitution and you substitute for y in one equation by using the 2nd,

e.g. y = 0.8x + 1.2 & y = 1.5x + 2.2 so 0.8x + 1.2 = 1.5x + 2.2 where the lines cross and solving this gives you x coordinate.

Not sure what happens when you have a weekend in the mix . . .

at first excuse for my english.

thanks dear RaptorUK for reply.

i know that and my problem is something else.

when i change timeframe to other timeframe or zoom in or zoom out the value also changes.

and my main problem is price no time.

i need my func returns the price of crossing without any wrong.

can you help me too about this:

if i have the corner of lines and one of price from each line can i do that?

and if yes how?

thanks

best regards

  1. Solve the two equations like Raptor said. The result is one x and one y. Y is price.
  2. if you change timeframes and your code generates different trendlines, of course the value will change.
  3. if you zoom in or our and your code generates different trendlines, your code is broken.
