Plot bar close price

[REMON]

Hi Adviser,

I would like to develop a strategy which plot a dot when 5 min bar close equal to certain price. For example when 5 min bar equal to price of 14, I would like the system plot a dot. Please correct me if I wrote wrong

// Condition set 1
if (Close[1] + 0.16 * TickSize == MyInput0)
{
DrawDot("My dot" + CurrentBar, false, 0, 0, Color.Blue)

Any comment is appreciate.

Thanks,

Remon

Your logic would seem ok, given MyInput0 is a value that would match the formula you've created. I'd suggest always making liberal use of Print() statements to ensure the values you get are values you expect.

In terms of hte DrawDot, you're passing a value of 0, which likely does not display on your chart. You'll want to use a relative bar value to ensure that it's drawing at a price level you can see:

DrawDot("My dot" + CurrentBar, false, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Color.Blue)

Thanks for your support,

I am kind new to the system. Can you tell me how to making liberal use of Print() statements?

You can use the Print() method which will output different values to the Output window. Information on this can be found below:

For example you can use:

Print(Close[1] + 0.16 * TickSize);
Print(MyInput0);

Which should give you the values at that time. You can break it up even further and have a seperate Print(Close[1]) to ensure the bar value is what you expect before you at the 0.16 * TickSize, etc.
