Indicator values

[tonynt]

Hello,

when I want to use "0,5" in my drawings in my customindicator to plot in a panel there appears - of course - the error message when compiling because of no. of arguments.

How do one has to code please

DrawTriangleDown("XXX" + CurrentBar, false, 0, 1, Color.Black);

for having "0,5" instead of "1".

And how can I change the size of the Triangle please?

Thank you.

Best
Tony

You will need to use a period for the decimal in order for this to compile:

DrawTriangleDown("XXX" + CurrentBar, false, 0, 0.5, Color.Black);

The size of the Triangle cannot be changed. However, you can use DrawText() instead and use the Wingding 3 font family type, which would allow you to use special characters. For example an up triangle would be "p" and a down triangle would be "q"

DrawText("XXX" + CurrentBar, false, "q", 0, 0.5, 10, Color.Black, new Font("Wingdings 3", 20), StringAlignment.Center, Color.White, Color.White, 1);

Thank you.

I forgot that you use the "." instead of our "," for numbers.

And thank you for the explanation for the custom drawing.
