Another mouse function idea

[FibbGann]

I was curious if anyone had developed a mouse function efs that would allow one to click on a bar/candle. And get the values of the OHLC also the midpoint (otherwise know as waste). The values would be displayed in the chart possibly in the corner.

I am very interested in this if anyone could give their input?

Sincerely,

Not sure you need a mouse function to do that.
Try the enclosed efs which will give you the value of the waist (ie open+close)/2 as I understand it) in the Cursor Window
Alex

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("Waist");
    setCursorLabelName("Waist");
      
}
function main() {

var vWaist = (open()+close())/2;


return formatPriceNumber(vWaist)+"";
}

Thanks Alex, (by the way I am a Fut's man now)

I wanted to be able to click on any candle I wanted and receive the open, close, high, low and waist displayed in the chart. (not cursor)

I was looking at Chris's Mouse function helper in his help file that will allow the numbers of 2 separate candles. Just have to get it to retreive the data I inquired about intead of barindex and Yvalue

function preMain() {

setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("Left Mouse Button Clicks");
setShowCursorLabel(false);

}

function main() {

}

function onLButtonDown( barIndex,  yValue) {

debugPrintln("LeftDown: " + barIndex + ", " + yValue);
updateClickInfo(barIndex, yValue);

}

function onLButtonDblClk( barIndex,  yValue) {

debugPrintln("LeftDblClk: " + barIndex + ", " + yValue);
updateDblClickInfo(barIndex, yValue);

}

function updateClickInfo(barIndex, yValue) {

drawTextAbsolute(5, 15, "Clicked bar " + barIndex + " at " + yValue.toFixed(2),

Color.white, Color.navy, Text.RELATIVETOLEFT|Text.RELATIVETOBOTTOM|Text.BOLD,
null, 14, "ClickInfo");

}

function updateDblClickInfo(barIndex, yValue) {

drawTextAbsolute(5, 35, 

"Double Clicked bar " + barIndex + " at " + yValue.toFixed(2), 
Color.white, Color.navy, 
Text.RELATIVETOLEFT|Text.RELATIVETOBOTTOM|Text.BOLD,
null, 14, "DblClickInfo");

}

If you have the bar index, then you can use the open(), close(), high(), low() functions using that index.

Thats what I thought Garth, I just messed up somewhere trying to get to the bottum of it.

Attached is Chris' example modified to write OHLC and Waist

Alex, I just got it when you posted.




As always thank you!

I want to input .toFixed(2) Would I be better off doing some variants. and pluging them into Function main or is there a simpler way to do this.

You could use formatPriceNumber() in the drawTextAbsolute command so it writes the prices in the way in which they are actually displayed on the chart (see example that follows)
formatPriceNumber(open(barIndex))

Alex, I never used that function before, but I will now. Could'nt figure out how to get it to work on the Waist numbers. (no biggy)

Here is an efs I just started to mess with (thanks to the help of Alex, Garth and Steve)

Check it out and I will get into the depth and dialog later when I get a chance.

It needs help no doubt, but can be used for a great tool for those that use S/R's.

Enjoy the rough draft!

I think this should work
formatPriceNumber((open(barIndex) + close(barIndex)) /2)
Alex

[FibbGann]

Call me mouse function crazy! Here an other mouse function efs that will allow you to click on bars (2) and it will draw line and display text of the OHLCW (W=waist) It will also send the number to the "formula out put" window too.

Just a rough draft, I have a major project I am going to work on for awhile.
