Need Help Putting Text On Chart
Posted: 10 Dec 2008

I have two moving averages for my 30 minute chart... they are the 65 and 130 period SMA.
In reality they are the 5 and 10 day moving average.
Is there a way to add text after each moving average calling them a 5 day and 10 day?

This should get you pointed in the right direction. It is kinda generic. You will need to use the code twice in the same indicator and rename the vars. You will probably want to use "ver 2".
Code: Select all
inputs:
Price(Close),
Length(20)
//, TText("My Avg") <-- ver 2
;
vars:
SpacerTxt(" "),
MAval(C), MAref(-1) ;
MAval = Average(Price,Length);
Plot1(MAval,"MovAvg");
If MAref <> -1 Then Text_SetLocation_s(MAref, Date, Time_s, MAval)
Else Begin
MAref = Text_New_s(Date, Time_s, MAval, SpacerTxt + NumToStr(MAval ,2) );
// MAref = Text_New_s(Date, Time_s, MAval, SpacerTxt + TText ); <-- ver 2
Text_SetStyle(MAref, 0, 2);
Text_SetColor(MAref, GetPlotColor(1));
End;

TJ: Snazzy!
I was looking at what I posted and I thought:
It's funny how, when composing a post in the "reply window", everything is formatted and indented really nice and easy to read, but when you hit the submit button, the final post looks like sh!t.
Too bad we can attach everything but .pla files huh.

to format your code, you have to use the code button...
it is located in the middle of the Format list.
(you will see it when you are composing your message)

I have done one better... now with Auto-text.
The MA length is automatically inserted into the text... no need to adjust the text when you change your MA length.
enjoy!
