Horizontal Line Plot at level that moves with each bar close

[MattD888]

Support,

Can you confirm the following would be possible...

I am looking to plot a horizontal line dynamically at a given plot location... lets assume 50% of the prior bar.

I know how to get the plot level.

I don't know how to have the line stretch across the chart and move with price after each bar close and NOT have the plot do the standard functionality of showing the historical plot values.

I used the following code to print a horizontal line. This works, but I would like to have the value a plot and not a drawing if possible.

HorizontalLine myLine4 = Draw.HorizontalLine(this, "tag4", High[0] - 100, Brushes.Black); myLine4.Stroke = new Stroke(Brushes.Green, DashStyleHelper.Dash, 1);

I saw a prior post that provides an example of displaying the SMA value on the current bar only. However I don't know that example would allow a line drawn across the entire chart.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It is possible. I did something similar to put fibs down based off of the previous candle and it would update on every new candle.

I have the indicator set to OnPriceChange(), so if you turn the indicator on midbar on a 5m candle, you don't have to wait for a new bar be created before it plots your line.

The code is as follows:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if (CurrentBar < 1)
{

return;

}

if (IsFirstTickOfBar)
{

double midPoint = (High[1] + Low[1])/2; // This creates a line at the midpoint of the prior candle
HorizontalLine myLine = Draw.HorizontalLine(this, "tag", midPoint, Brushes.DarkGray, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 1);

}

}

Hello MattD888,

If you do not want to use a drawing object and want to use an indicator plot, set the PlotStyle to Horizontal line (either in the Indicators properties window or with the AddPlot() call in State.SetDefaults).
