Limit Draw Objects / Limit Indicator

[stockgoblin]

Hi,

I made an indicator that draws rays connecting similar candlesticks. It does so on all the input data loaded even though it's lookback period is set to less. I can't limit the input data as I do need a fair amount loaded for a monthly pivot indicator.

Can I limit my indicator to start from say 24 hours ago or something similar?

Can I limit the number of draw objects to say the last 20 or so?

Is there another solution when there are just too many draw objects but limiting data is not an option?

thanks

Hi stockgoblin,

Yes, you can custom code a lot of these controls. There isn't an NT property to limit the # of code placed drawing objects though.

if (Time[0].Date == DateTime.Now.Date)

That example checks the bar time stamp against your computer date and, since working with .net there is a lot of flexibility working with date/ time.
