["Edward Pottasch" <empottasch@xxxxxxxxx>]

thanks.

 

Yes I am aware of what you show but I would like to display the "up arrow" as a real PlotShape and not the text. So that you can see in an instant what the symbols is used for. Like you say one needs to use PlotShapes() for it (or that is the only way I can think of). I tried for instance:

 

Title=Name()+ ", O: " + "\n" + "\n" + "\n" + PlotShapes(shapeUpArrow,colorWhite,Layer = 0,O[10], offset = 0) + "\n";

but I can't get it to work,

 

rgds, Ed

Add your descriptions to Title statement. Please take note how colour escape sequences, "line break" code, quote marks and plus sign are used. Btw, "legend" is used on maps in English for this.

\\c32 - change colour to red
\n - line break, shift one row down
\n\n - line break, shift two rows down

You will find colour codes and "Title" explained here:

Here is the code. If you want to include actual shapes in addition to text descriptions, then honestly I don't know how to do it. This would require including PlotShapes() function in Title statement with some quite unusual "yposition" parameter.

/*** START ***/

Title =
"\\c25"+Name()+
"\\c11 "+Interval(2)+" "+Date()+
"\\c34 "+FullName()+
"\\c-1 O="+O+
" H="+H+
" L="+L+
" C="+C+
"\n"+
"\\c34Up arrow: Buy\n"+
"\\c32Down arrow: Sell";

Plot(C, "", colorDarkYellow, styleCandle);
SetChartOptions(0, chartShowDates);

/*** END ***/
