I would like horizontal grid lines to cover the full range of the
visible price bars (ie. from the highest high to the lowest low of
visible bars). As the chart is scrolled or zoomed, the grid lines
would automatically extend upwards or downwards accordingly. The
spacing between gridlines is fixed and user selectable.
I used the PlotGrid function and wrote some code (below) which I
think accomplishes this. It determines the price range needed to be
covered by gridlines and then plots the gridlines individually by
stepping through the price range. The size of the step is user
selectable with the Param function.
1) Does anyone know of a more efficient way to accomplish this? This
seems to be somewhat brute force since there are many PlotGrid
statements needed to cover an entire y axis price range (dependent on
step size).
2) I wanted gridlines to appear above and below the highest and
lowest price so I used "H+unit" and "L-unit" with "stylenoDraw" to
fix the scale of the yaxis. Unfortunately, the prices for "H+unit"
and "L-unit" appear in the title bar. They also appear in the small
data window which appears when you position the cursor on a data bar.
Is there a way to mask these prices from not appearing?
All feedback appreciated,
thank you,
kris
