MA displayed as flatlines

[Pogman]

Hello

attached is a simple 9 wma. Under the "formula configuration" tab I have sent the 9 wma to display as a flatline. It works fine.

Question ...

1. Is there a way to lengthen the length of the line to a length that I desire? ex= say the line length is 1/4 inch, can I make it 1/2 inch or some other parameter?

2. Is there a way to limit the amount of flatlines that are shown? Like say the last 4 flatlines etc?

Thanks

It is possible however you will need to use the Editor as it cannot be done with the Formula Wizard.
You will need to draw the returned values using the drawLineRelative() function instead of returning (ie plotting) those values to the chart
Declare a global variable [ie outside of main() or preMain()] called Counter and set it initially to a value of 0 eg

var Counter = 0; 

Then in the main() function add the following lines of code (see the comments)

if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){//at every new bar
    Counter++;//increase the counter by 1
    if(Counter==4){//if Counter is equal to 4 (to plot just the last four bars)
     Counter=0;//reset Counter to 0
    }
}
//the next line of code is used to draw the last 4 values of the WMA
drawLineRelative(-2, vWMA9.getValue(MAStudy.MA), 0, vWMA9.getValue(MAStudy.MA), PS_SOLID, 2, Color.red, "line"+Counter); 

Then remove vWMA9.getValue(MAStudy.MA) from the return statement and save the efs with a different name.
When you run the efs it should draw 4 lines (with a width of three bars going back) in correspondence of the last 4 values of the WMA
