Ralph,
How can I incorporate a tag with your code so that I can plot multiple lines on the chart as the bar updates. Each line has a different tag. I was looking at
publicobject Tag
{
get {return m_tag; }
set {m_tag = value; }
}
but I'm sure how to get it to work.
Thank you again.

Hi jabeztrading,

since we are using the Plot() method, we don't use tags, we are operating with numbers exclusively. That doesn't mean, you are not allowed to define and apply tags for visualisation. Have a look at the example attached.

Ralph you've been a great help. I'll play around with this. What I've been trying to do is draw lines or region at support and resistance areas and these lines will continue on into the future until hit. I've modified the swing high low indicator to do it with rays using drawray() but i was trying to see if i can do it with the override plot() method. I will keep trying and post my questions if I have anymore. Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback, jabeztrading. In this case, my example should be of some help. You wouldn't type in the numbers with the property grid, but calculate them according to the S&R levels.

I think, if you can master the Plot() method, your are free to apply what ever you could imagine. Indicator development starts sometimes with a simple concept, but as time goes by you may like to add all this nice features...

Good luck
Ralph
