Drawing parallel lines

DORAIRAJ_S@HOTMAIL.COM · 11-22-2007, 10:21 PM

Hi Josh / Ray

Please advise on the tool to be used for drawing parallel lines on the charts.

I would like to use this tool to draw a parallel line in parallel to a trend line, drawn using the trendline indicator.

Thanks,

Use that. Just make sure the two lines have the same slope and then you'll have parallel lines.

Can some one help me to develope a code for drawing a parallel line to an existing line in the chart?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,

You will need to determine the slope of the trendline indicator's line and then do some math to draw your own line. Unfortunately I cannot provide exact code for you due to bandwidth reasons.

Is there any way to query an existing graphical object (such as a line) to get the endpoints of the line?

MT4 lets you do this with "GetObjectData()" or something similar.

Thanks,
Ben

There could be ways to do it in C#, but unfortunately we cannot offer support for that level of programming.
