Hey bensat, Thx for weighin in. Yep...originally was tryin to determine how to use SetPlotWidth in a function...can't. So. Why? I am tryin to shade an area...like say between middle to the top of the bollinger band for example. So I was using SetPlotWidth very wide and it works in an indicator, but ...

Thks JoshM, The SetPlotWidth works (as I already use it in indicators, not functions tho) for values >20 successfully. Your idea of using trendlines, may work (have never used b4) but I have made a study that will ONLY use functions to plot. Perhaps creating a function using trend lines as u suggest...

There's a wiki article about Passing values to and from a function , in case that might be helpful. Thx JoshM I already read that one...the EasyLanguage Essentials Programmers Guide pg. 108 seems to suggest creating an indicator setting plots there for the function to be called later...tried...but ...

I have never tried a SetPlotWidth inside a function...

Yes to plot a function with a SetPlotWidth is difficult to understand ...even with the ebook on those pages...but thanks.

I want to be able to pass my numeric simple function value called BottomLive and ALSO be able to SetPlotWidth to large values like 40? I am trying to shade a rectangle area vertically & horizonatally from a high value MC1H down to a low value MC1L . How can I use SetPlotWidth inside a numeric simple...

Thank you TJ, Bensat & JoshM. I wanted to see if I could get the 600 ticks HLC/3 updated 6 times and to re-draw it 6 times on the 3600 tick chart? So the 3600 tick chart will have this HLC/3 moving automatically as the new 600 tick's HLC/3 was printed. I will see if this code will work when I get li...

Is it possible to plot a simple indicator...say HLC/3 from 600 tick on the 3600 tick chart?

So in other words, as the next bars 600 ticks HLC/3 plots...it re-draws the new HLC/3 on the 3600 tick chart?

Thank you if reading.

I was wondering if there was a way in MultiCharts to do the following please? Data1 = 300 tick Data2 = 1500 tick I wanted to plot H111 & L111 on a 300 tick chart using the 1500 tick charts current bars data. Plotting live in other words. The HighMax is to get the highest high of the last five 300 t...

Thank you TJ! Works like a charm.

Is there any other way to plot areas other than this way please? In order to have an area shaded...one has to compress the bar spacing too much! inputs: BollingerPrice( Close ), TestPriceUBand( Close ), TestPriceLBand( Close ), Length( 20 ), NumDevsUp( 2 ), NumDevsDn( -2 ), Displace( 0 ) ; variables...
