Range Bar Exit Price Markers

[steveobowen]

Hello, I am a beginner NT script developer. However, I did do one custom indicator a few months ago using the tutorials to get started.

The indicators that I need now are to print predicted exit prices (2) for the current range bar in progress. It would be nice to print these prices in the right hand margin similar to the way price markers are printed for any of the standard indicators.

The first indicator I call “SellLim” = Low[0] + RangeBarSize + TickSize.
The second indicator I call “BuyLim” = High[0] – RangeBarSize – TickSize.

I found a shared data variable for the TickSize, but could not find a shared data variable for the RangeBarSize. Is there a way to enter the RangeBarSize without hard coding it? Also, is there an existing method to print the variables; SellLim and BuyLim in the right hand margin?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

Hello,

Thanks for your forum post.

I would use the following to find the Range.

BarsPeriod.Value

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hello Brett,

Your idea worked very well as expected. My indicators are doing exactly what I needed.
Thanks, Steve

Code to chew on.

Thought maybe this code might be helpful.

Thank you "ThatManFromTexas",

I will chew on your code. It is much more elaborate than what I did. I just printed the exit prices in the right hand margin. Simple, but it is all I need for now. However, I will definitely learn from your code.

Thanks again, Steve
