Horizonal lines off the chart

[paulm]

Hi

I have the following code that plots the monlthy high on a chart

if(isMonthly() )
return;

if(bInit == false){
xHigh = high(inv("M"));
bInit = true;
}

var vHigh = getSeries(xHigh);

return (vHigh);


Two questions:

1) how can I prevent the chart from using this level to scale ... sometimes this is so much higher than the current price action that when the chart scales the price bars are tiny ... can I override that so scale normally and plot this line 'off the chart'

2) how could I also plot last month's high as a horizontal line in the current month ... the above code plots each month's high within the month it occurred

Thanks again

1) Right click the Advanced Chart and select Scaling-> Scale Price Data Only
2) In the line after var vHigh = getSeries(xHigh); create a new variable called for example vHigh_1 and assign to it the value of the xHigh series at the prior bar eg

var vHigh_1 = xHigh.getValue(-1); 

After that run a check for null on the variable eg

if(vHigh_1 == null) return; 

At this point you can add the variable to your return statement eg

return new Array (vHigh, vHigh_1); 

Once you have done that you will need to add the required statements in preMain to set the Cursor Label name, plot type, color, etc
