Trendline values

New comment
 

Hi - I written a simple EA to plot a trend line using ObjectCreate and OBJ_TREND, with OBJPROP_RAY_RIGHT set as True. I have variables which return the Time and Price value for the two anchor points.

The trend line is drawn and extends to the right, and I am trying to get the return the trend line value on the extended Ray to the right.

Is there a way to get the trend line value of off the Ray extension? The value is shown if you place the cursor on any point of the Ray extension.

I have tried various things but none successful - ObjectGetValueByTime, ObjectGetValueByShift and adding OBJPROP_PRICE3 to the OBJ_TREND line.

Complete novice and learning as I go so any pointers/examples would be greatly appreciated 

I am using MQL4.

Thanks

  1. Trend line has no third price, bogus.
  2. Show us your attempt (using the CODE button) and state the nature of your problem.

Thanks, answer number 1 was, sadly, expected and since posting I’ve thought of a possible way using more than one OBJ_TREND using high/low of bar 1 or 2 as anchor point 2 for the final plotted trend line. Coupled with a bit of logic to confirm trend line break. If I’m still stuck or work it out I’ll post code into this topic👍
 
Try ObjectGetValueByTime
