Jason,

FYI, I'm still using an old version (7.4 build 608) and getting the reference error: setShowTitleParameters is not defied on line 48. Would upgrading to newest version do the trick?

Just been testing out this swing efs..

Its good

The only problem I have is I'd like to measure been two points of my discretion..

Take for example when drawing a simple segment line, I would like to have the option to show the price change at the end on the line..

Asking about a price tool..

Hello cj,

This could be done in EFS. We have some mouse functions you could use to detect the mouse clicks and record x/y coordinates for the line. Then use drawLineRelative() or addLineTool() to drawn the line. You would use drawTextRelative() to draw the text label next to the end of the line.

I would set up a button on the chart using drawTextRelative() that turns on a flag when clicked. Then have the mouse functions record the next 2 mouse clicks. At that point, reset the flag and draw the line and text label. If you use the addLineTool() function, you'll be able to click and edit or remove the line after the fact. That would be the better way to go in my opinion.

Please visit our EFS Knowledgebase for the related reference material on the functions I've mentioned.

Also, we had an engineer report today that he thought he could alter the existing trendline drawing tool to have an option for the price delta between the start and end points to display just to the right of the line's end point anchor. If it's as straight forward as he thinks, it could be in the next release (7.8) due out later this month.

As Jason indicated, you could play with EFS on your own and make this as fancy a tool as you'd like. Or wait a bit and see if we can get it added to 7.8

Thanks.

Thx for the info guys!!!

I'm going to take a closer look at Jason's
idea over this weekend. I'm not a programmer but it doesn't hurt to learn something new..) & it great to hear if my programming skills don't develope their could be a back up in 7.8 )

Thx again

Jason:

I use the RTS code and find it to be excellent.

I was wondering if it could be modified so that the variable for measuring the swing could be based on a different user input--such as (X% * sqrt of price), where user inputs X. The filter would adapt to change in price in a similar manner to the % input, and would not have to be changed for every market due to differences in price.

Or alternatively, could the code be changed so that the user could input a % for several different price ranges? This way the % would automatically change when price increased or decreased by a certain amount.

After looking at the code, I didn't feel comfortable changing it-looked too complicated.

Thanks!

Hello dschram,

The modifications you are describing can be done but are somewhat beyond the scope of what I can show you how to do here in the forums. Please feel free to take the existing code to one of the EFS Consultants for modification.
