Reading most current bar visually displayed

[shazzmoe]

I'm trying to make the Regression channel indicator display based on where the user is viewing the chart. Because the lines update each bar I want to be able to step back and view how it was X bars ago.

I haven't been able to find any documentation on accessing charts display like this, is there any info you can give me?

Hi Shazzmoe,

There are no supported properties for identifying visible bars on the chart. Hopefully a community member with experience in this area can assist.

Use the PLOT () method

Hi Shazzmoe,
What you need is the ChartControl.
It has a lot of properties that I documented to death in earlier posts. Unfortunately I can't find any of them now so I hope they've not been archived with the release of V7.0.

In absence of something to point you to. Try just typing "ChartControl." & looking at the Intellisense.

Specifically you want
ChartControl.GetXByBarIdx(ChartControl.FirstBarPai nted);
ChartControl.GetXByBarIdx(ChartControl.LastBarPain ted);

But probably I'll want other info as well. I'n unsure it this works in the OnBarUpdate() method. I've only ever used it from within the Plot() Method. In which case you can draw anything anywhere.
I hope this gets you started.

I wanted to thank you one more time. I now have my indicator working perfectly
