How to drawline untill the position is open

[Thomas79]

Hi

i want to draw a line showing my stop level... i wrote that script:

DrawLine(CurrentBar.ToString(),false, 1, stop, 0, stop, Color.Red, DashStyle.Solid,2);

but i don't know how to say "untill the position is open" to replace the "0"

If you can help ?

Hi Thomas79,

You could use, for example, a condition that checks you are not flat before drawing the line. Can also attach a removal statement so that it's removed when you are flat. In the example below, I also changed your tag field so that it's just a single value.

if (Position.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat)
DrawLine("StopLine", false, 1, stop, 0, stop, Color.Red, DashStyle.Solid,2);

else
RemoveDrawObject("StopLine");

Hi

that change nothing... i think this is the "0" on the 5th position...

the line is drawn 1 bar on the past but not draw on the next bar... it stop at 0

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're looking for. Can you please clarify what it is you are looking to do or offer more input on your expectations with the code snippet you posted?

I see, thanks for posting that picture. You'll probably want to make use of BarsSinceEntry().

Below snippet will work, but is inefficient because it's drawing a new line each bar you're in a position. Ideally you would want to custom code something that provides a "unique per position" tag.

if (Position.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat)
	DrawLine("StopLine" + CurrentBar, false, BarsSinceEntry(), Position.AvgPrice - TickSize * 10, 0, Position.AvgPrice - TickSize * 10, Color.Red, DashStyle.Solid,2);
