Thanks for the reply Tomasz, but how would I incorporate your “Trend Line Broken Code”

buy = cross( study( "RE" ), close );

Why the trend lines are also appealing is that they already have the y value (for horizontal)

I need that for the stop and target. See my post #121395

Hello,

You can draw your lines using FOUR different methods:

a) PlotGrid - this function allows to plot horizontal grid line at any leve (the easiest method)

Plot( C, "Price", colorBlack, styleCandle );
PlotGrid( LastValue( Close ), colorRed ); // this example plots horizontal line at the value of last close

b) Plot - using regular Plot you are able to plot any line including horizontal lines:

Plot( C, "Price", colorBlack, styleCandle );
Plot( LastValue( C ), "LastClose", colorRed ); // this example plots horizontal line at the value of last close

c) you can draw trendlines (not only horizonal) using combination of Plot and LineArray:

Examples here:

d) you can draw ANYTHING you can imagine, using low level gfx:

Subject: [amibroker] Question for Tomasz?

Tomasz,

Are the properties that define the drawing tools somewhere in an AFL code? In other words I want to be able to

create a horizontal trend line thru AFL code and be able to control its behavior in my code.

The goal is trading from price chart by creating horizontal trend lines that would trigger entries, set stops and

targets, with a click of a button I want to place 3 or more trend lines in price pane and then be able to adjust

there location, once set then arm them and when price crosses orders are sent out.

I understand that I could use the horizontal trend line drawing tool to create 3 trend lines then go to properties

and set the study ID of each line. But I want to automate the process thru AFL.

Thanks for your input.
