Change plot style for current bar

I would like to be able to change the style or somehow highlight the value of an indicator on the current bar. I wrote an indicator that plots ahead on the chart so I have to use the cross-hairs to see the current value. If I could change the current plot on the indicator to either a thicker plot (see attached pic from another platform) or even a different style like a bar instead of a line that would be great. I tried using if(sc.Index == sc.IndexOfLastVisibleBar) MyIndicator.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_BAR; but this changes the entire plot style from the beginning. I have also considered using a separate subgraph with the same indicator value but a different plot style, however I don't know how to get it to show only on the current bar. Would that be possible? Thanks in advance. |

For this you need to use a different Subgraph. You will only set values for it for the last bar and clear the others.

Ok thanks, that worked great. Here is the code I used for anyone searching in the future. //Subgraphs SCSubgraphRef MyIndicator = sc.Subgraph[0]; SCSubgraphRef MyIndicator2 = sc.Subgraph[1] then in SetDefaults... if (sc.SetDefaults) { MyIndicator.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_LINE; MyIndicator2.Name = "Current Value Plot"; MyIndicator2.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_POINT; MyIndicator2.LineWidth = 3; MyIndicator2.DrawZeros = 0; } and then the plots... MyIndicator2[sc.Index] = 0; if(sc.Index == sc.IndexOfLastVisibleBar) MyIndicator2[sc.Index] = MyIndicator[sc.Index]; Hope that helps. |
