I wrote two programs which imported successfully as indicators but I do not see an option to use them as a custom drawing tool. I created a Fib tool and changed the parameters in how it calculates it levels from the original so they would be based off risk multiples of my Stop value. Stop value was defined as the first point marked on the chart and entry value was the second point. Then if it plotted correctly the horizonal levels would show 1.5R, 2R, 3R levels etc. The original tool bases its risk off the 0 level. Can you import scripts as custom drawing tools? If not, is there a way to use the template of an existing drawing tool and override its functionality with additional functionality using a script? If so, how would I accomplish this task? |
