Ok, that goes on our to do list.

Count me interested for the functionality, too. It's not so useful when trading, but having basic graphics primitives available while developing new strategies is very useful.

A question.
When i look at the manual 'Workshop 7: Machine Learning. Price Action Trading' the first example. Before the call of the enterLong() function i would draw a line like line(2, priceLow(2), 0, priceLow(0),white) to mark the found price pattern. So when testing i can look at the chart an directly see the patterns.

This is what i think of. Is it possible :-)


UPS i didn't saw the last two posts. Fine i'am happy to see that functionality coming

Marking a found pattern is already possible. You can draw a line with the plot function, like this:

static bool DoLine = false;
if(patternstart) DoLine = true;
if(patternend) DoLine = false;
if(DoLine) plot("Pattern",priceLow()-30*PIP,0,RED);

This draws a red line under all found patterns at 30 pips distance from the price.

Ah. I read the manual about the plot function but had no clue how to draw a line like i wished. This is a workaround that at first glance looks okay. So the line consists of many dots. Do you still pin the line function on your to do list?


PS: ...and funny again you used the 'its already possible' sentence

Yes, the line function will be implemented in a future version, as my suggestion above is just a workaround for the moment.

A minor feature but one that I would find very handy is an "always on top" for the zorro window makes it easier to find the window when working on scripts. Or a dock to the edge of the script window.

Hi jcl,

i have one more question reagarding the plot function. I would like to draw/mark some bars in the past. When i'am at bar 0 i know now that the last x bars form a special formation so i would like to mark them. How can i accomplish this?

thx in advance

At the moment only the current bar can be marked, not past bars. So you'd have to set the PEEK flag and check the bar formation in the future for marking the current bar. The upcoming line function will also allow to mark past bars.

Okay. then i will wait for the line function. Possible time frame? :-)
