Vertical Bar

[vsolv]

Is it possible to draw a vertical line between 2 indicators. For example, if I have 2 moving averages on the chart and I want to draw a vertical line between them, is it possible?

I'm transitioning from traderstation and they had a feature called Paintbar which would allow me to pass a high value and a low value and it would paint a vertical bar on the chart.

Hoping someone can help.

Hi vsolv,

Yes, you could use DrawLine(), which has startY and endY inputs:

You may want to check out DrawRegion() as well. There's a sample showing how to work it between Bollinger lines here:

When using the Drawline
startY - The starting y value co-ordinate where the draw object will be drawn
EndY - The end y value co-ordinate where the draw object will be drawn

Drawline is expecting me to provide the StartY and EndY values. I'm guessing that the coordinate system is in pixels. So question is, how do I take my indicator's High and Low values and convert it to the proper Y coordinate ?

Sorry --- newbie here and just learning NScript.

StartY and EndY are the values of your moving averages. Let's say you have a 5 period and 50 period SMA. You would draw lines between them with something like this:

DrawLine("Lines" + CurrentBar, 0, SMA(5)[0], 0, SMA(50)[0], Color.Blue);

This can be a bit of a performance drain, so I would also take a look at that DrawRegion sample which can do this sort of thing with more efficiency.

Apologize for these newbie questions.
In my indicator, I have 2 local variables that I'm trying to plot.
MyHigh, MyLow - these are double

I do my calculations to populate these in the indicator.

when I try to plot them as follows:

DrawLine("Lines" + CurrentBar, 0, <MyLocalVar_High>, 0, <MyLocalVar_Low>, Color.Blue);

I get the following errors:

Use of unassigned local variable MyHigh
Use of unassigned local variable MyLow


What am I doing wrong? Can someone help.
