Arrow Size

[phoenix]

Can someone please tell me how to increase the size of an arrow. Got them to print correctly, color is no problem, can move the distance, but could not find anything on formatting the size of the arrow.

This is for DrawArrowUp (Down). Would like to be able to make them 2x tick size.

Thanks,

phoenix, unfortunately not supported changing this programmatically, you could use DrawText and a symbol font such as Windings for more control.

Thanks, Bertrand,

Was just looking for a little help over the 'over-50' eyesight.

I understand phoenix...you could for example also try plotting two arrows above / below each other at different tick offsets...

That I can do...will give it a try.

Thanks again.

Hey Bertrand,

Tried several different ways to get it to print both arrows, but could only get it to print 'the latter line' in the program.

if (CrossBelow(Value, 0, 1))
{
DrawArrowDown("MyArrowDown"+CurrentBar, 0, High[0]+2* TickSize, Color.OrangeRed);
DrawArrowDown("MyArrowDown"+CurrentBar, 0, High[0]+5* TickSize, Color.OrangeRed);
}

and

if (CrossBelow(Value, 0, 1))
DrawArrowDown("MyArrowDown"+CurrentBar, 0, High[0]+2* TickSize, Color.OrangeRed);

if (CrossAbove(Value, 0, 1))
DrawArrowUp("MyArrowUp"+CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] -2* TickSize, Color.Cyan);

if (CrossBelow(Value, 0, 1))
DrawArrowDown("MyArrowDown"+CurrentBar, 0, High[0]+5* TickSize, Color.OrangeRed);

if (CrossAbove(Value, 0, 1))
DrawArrowUp("MyArrowUp"+CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] -5* TickSize, Color.Cyan);

Also tried using '&&' with curly brackets, but would not compile...

Looked through the Help Guides and learned a couple of things, but nothing to help me with this.

phoenix, you would need to use unique tags for each up dn arrow to be plotted, i.e.

if (CrossBelow(Value, 0, 1))
{
DrawArrowDown("MyArrowDown1" + CurrentBar, 0, High[0] + 2 * TickSize, Color.OrangeRed);
DrawArrowDown("MyArrowDown2" + CurrentBar, 0, High[0] + 5 * TickSize, Color.OrangeRed);
}

Same for the bullish side of things...
