drawline to nowhere

[gg80108]

I connect the up down arrows with a drawline .. The blue line is a good one (pic) but black line goes to the left of session to nowhere.
I reset on FirstBarofSession: PivotBarNum,ExtremeBar. but have a line drawn to the left of my session start time to nowhere.. more annoying then anything, any ideas?


DrawLine("sls" + CurrentBar,CurrentBar - PivotBarNum,High[CurrentBar - PivotBarNum],ExtremeBar,Low[ExtremeBar],Color.Black,DashStyle.Solid,1);

gg80108,

It is not drawing to nowhere. It is drawing to some anchor point you have in the past. I suggest you zoom out on your chart a lot to find that anchor point or you can also try printing your variables to see where it is anchoring on that particular line.

If the anchor points are in view the line will be visible.

printed CurrentBar numbers,

The 1736 bar shows the line,, but when I back up to the 1735 bar, the line vanishes.. : 1736 is still in view

Which bars are your anchor points? From your screenshots it looks like none of those bars are anchor points.

[gg80108]

Yes thats the point,, only the bars in the current session in the first screen shots are the anchor points,, this is a mystery why it it drawing to the left at all...
But when you think about it if you do a drawline before you have two valid points, maybe this is what it does??

Coded to insure two valid anchors and problem went away.

Not sure I follow. Which bars are the anchors exactly? Just because a new session starts shouldn't really influence anchor points.

[gg80108]

Coded to insure two valid anchors and problem went away. I wanted everything to start from scratch every session and not carry over. So I reset everything at the beginning of session. Looks like first time through only had one valid anchor and the other was infinity I guess.

Glad you got it resolved.
