After going thru the 4 different
methods you suggested for drawing lines, I come to the
conclusion that
using the drawing tool “horizontal
line” would be the most effective way to implement direct
chart trading.
I realize I can draw 3 horizontal
lines on the chart and then modify the properties as needed:
color, study ID, etc…
but that is not
efficient.
Also since the actual trading
parameters would need to be in AFL it seems only logical to
control horizontal lines at code level also.
So for the $64,000.00
question; Is it possible to create/access/control all
of the properties that make up the “horizontal line” from
the draw toolbar and reference them in AFL code?
Thanks for your reponse.

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:

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.
