Creating or modifying trendline cause MC to hang

Hello

First time that I play with trendline code. My goal is to found and modify and if not found create a trendline to display a proposed entry and stop loss.

First, I want to know if a trendline with 2 characteristic do exist
I want to have 4 combinaison to descrimate them
A)Green for Long entry
B)Red for Short entry
c) long Dot "- - - - -": for entry
d) Short dot for Stop loss: For stop loss

For the existence of a long orders price parameters, the following function will look for:
TL_Getcolor(TlNum) = 65280 ( green)
TL_GetStyle(TlNum) = 2

Code: Select all

Input: 

TLColor (NumericSimple),

TLStyle (NumericSimple);



var:

TLNum (0),

TLFound (False);



TLNum = 1; 

while (tlnum <> -2) or (tlfound = false) or (tlnum < 100) begin

  print(TlNum);

  If Tl_Getcolor(TlNum) = TLColor and TL_GetStyle(TLNum) = TLStyle then TLFound = True;

  Print (TL_Getcolor(tlNum):0:0, " " , tlnum:0:0);

  TLnum=TLNum + 1;

end;

If tlnum = 100 then tlnum = 0;  

TlExist = Tlnum;

Any help appreciated
Martin

arjfca,

To search the trendlines it is better to use functions tl_getfirst, tl_getnext: you can go through all the trendlines on the current chart.
