How to Plot a Dot 50 BarsAgo

[robhef]

I’m new to NT & haven’t done any programming for a long time. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated on how to get a Dot plot on a chart 50bars ago. I’ve searched the forum & below is the best bit of code I’ve been able to come up with so far - which still only puts a dot below the most recently completed bar instead of 50 bars ago.

{
DrawDot("tag1", 50, Low[50] - TickSize, Color.Red);
}


From the draw DrawDot reference Page I thought putting 50, Low[50] would move the Dot back 50 bars but that doesn’t it.


I also tried: DrawDot(CurentBar.ToString() +"tag1", 0, - TickSize, Colre.Red); which put a dot under every bar.

(I won’t mention all the many other things I tried that didn’t work )

Thanks for any suggestions.

That will work. Make sure you do something more like:

if (CurrentBar > 50)
DrawDot("Tag1", 50, Low[50], Color.Red);

Adding the "If (CurrentBar > 50)" makes it work fine.

Thanks for the quick reply Ray,
