go to Format> Study,

change TrendLine.width to any size you like.

Code: Select all

inputs:
SwHiStrength( 4 ),
SwLoStrength( 4 ),
BarsPast( 10 ),
History( "Yes" ),
DnTLColor( Red ),
UpTLColor( Cyan ),
AlertType( "IntraBar" ),
TrendLine.width(1) ; {<-- added this line}

variables:
var0( -1 ),
var1( 0 ),
var2( false ),
var3( DnTLColor ),

var4( -1 ),
var5( 0 ),
var6( false ),
var7( UpTLColor ),

var8( 0 ),
var9( 0 ),

that was easy too.

MultiCharts is an enabler.
It lets the trader "see" what he needs to see.

I hope you get the time and patience to study the code...
it is not difficult; you too can make modifications like this.



p.s. I have added annotation to the code.

code

Postby dlahyani » 27 Jul 2009

TJ,

somehow I can't find the patience to study the code, it happen before that when I needed something I'd hire a programmer to do it for me. recently I spent some money to code an indicator that plot divergence between 2 symbols. it would take me years to master codding when a programmer can do it in a few hrs codding. before MC I used esignal and they had this programming wizard, this was helpful for simple things but I hated the charting software. that's why I moved to MC. I use it since beta of ver 1.

thanks again, Daniel

I hope you found the divg indicator useful.

Tresor posted a MACD divg code in the user forum.

the code I have is for price to price divergence not price/indicator. that means 2 symbols in the same chart window. see chart attached.
