Want to read S/R lines and post on chart

[saroj]

I'm really puzzled by the replies I got from Tech Support on this... possibly I didn't ask correctly so I thought I'd put it out to the forum community. I want to read a value (calculated by excel, but could be stored elsewhere) and create a horizontal line on a chart. These are various support and resistance lines... I don't want them to change the scale of the chart... i.e. if they are more than 1 point away from the top or bottom of the range determined by price, don't display...

I've just started using NT (again), so still getting my feet on the ground with it and my programming skills are very rusty, but I was a s/w designer for most of my career, and with the C# capability and more-or-less open architecture, I can't figure out why a value can't be read from "somewhere" in an external data store and painted on a chart? (which is what I was told by NT Tech Support)

Anyone?

Hi saroj, we have two reference samples covering reading info from text files, this is what I would suggest reviewing for your project -

I think Trading Studies have something similar, but you define the values directly on the chart, has a trial http://tradingstudies.com/products/lowhighmarker.html
