Post From: ACSIL: All methods to draw a rectangle that clips when intersected by price

One workaround which I use for this is to get the look of a rectangle by extending lines from the CBBOAC study. I use 20 or more studies, and I reference an increment of n-ticks in a separate study. For example, ID2 is the Top of the Area for whatever alert you are setting , and ID3 is the Bottom of the Area, ID1 is the increment: Then ID4 would be set up like this to draw an extension line at the first increment: =IF(AND(ID2.SG1 > ID3.SG1, ID2.SG1 - (ID1.SG1 * 1 * (1/ROUND(1/TICKSIZE, 0))) >= ID3.SG1), ID2.SG1 - (ID1.SG1 * 1 * (1/ROUND(1/TICKSIZE, 0))), 0) The Round operator is needed because certain instruments such as the 6 series do weird things when dealing with different value formats, tick sizes, and floating point precisions, etc. Then just repeat that, such that ID5 continues: =IF(AND(ID2.SG1 > ID3.SG1, ID2.SG1 - (ID1.SG1 * 2 * (1/ROUND(1/TICKSIZE, 0))) >= ID3.SG1), ID2.SG1 - (ID1.SG1 * 2 * (1/ROUND(1/TICKSIZE, 0))), 0) And so on. On some settings of charts, I would set the Incrementer ID1 to just 1, while on others it gets as high as 10... |
