Defining Values

[charley]

I am having problems getting the following efs to work properly. As it is now, when the button is clicked, the colors are not defined. If the button function is moved within the main function, then the button function is not defined. Thank you in advance. Charley

var nButtonPressed = false;

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("Line");
    setShowCursorLabel(false);
    
    var fp1 = new FunctionParameter("nMin", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
        fp1.setName("Number of Minutes");
        fp1.setLowerLimit(1);
        fp1.setDefault(15);
    
    var fp2 = new FunctionParameter("nFont", FunctionParameter.STRING);
        fp2.setName("Font");
        fp2.setDefault("Arial");
    
    var fp3 = new FunctionParameter("nFontSize", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
        fp3.setName("Font Size")
        fp3.setLowerLimit(6);        
        fp3.setDefault(12);

    var fp4 = new FunctionParameter("aColor", FunctionParameter.COLOR);
        fp4.setName("Color");
        fp4.setDefault(Color.RGB(0,225,0));

    var fp5 = new FunctionParameter("bColor", FunctionParameter.COLOR);
        fp5.setName("Color");
        fp5.setDefault(Color.RGB(225,0,0));
        
    var fp6 = new FunctionParameter("BuColor", FunctionParameter.COLOR);
        fp6.setName("Button Color");
        fp6.setDefault(Color.RGB(35,35,35));    
}
var vStartTime = null;
var vHigh = null;
var vLow = null;
var vOpen = null;
var vClose = null;
var FirstBar = null;

function main(nMin, nFont, nFontSize, aColor, bColor, BuColor) {
    
    if (getDay() != getDay(-1) || vHigh == null || vLow == null || vOpen == null || vClose == null) {
        vStartTime = getValue("Time");
        vHigh = high();
        vLow = low();
        vOpen = open();
        vClose = close();
    }
    FirstBar = getFirstBarIndexOfDay(vStartTime);
    var vTime = getValue("Time");

    if ((vTime - vStartTime) / 60000 < nMin) {                 // 3,600,000 milliseconds = 1 hour
        vHigh = Math.max(high(), vHigh);                     //    60,000 milliseconds = 1 minute
        vLow = Math.min(low(), vLow);
    }
        drawTextPixel(80, 0, "Reverse" + "@URL=EFS:Button1", aColor, BuColor, Text.RELATIVETOLEFT | Text.RELATIVETOBOTTOM | Text.CENTER | Text.VCENTER, nFont, nFontSize, "Bu1", 80, 24);

    if (FirstBar != null) {
        if (vOpen < vClose) {
            drawLineRelative(FirstBar, vHigh, 0, vHigh, PS_SOLID, 1, aColor, "High");
            drawLineRelative(FirstBar, vLow, 0, vLow, PS_SOLID, 1, bColor, "Low");
        }
        if (vOpen > vClose) {
            drawLineRelative(FirstBar, vHigh, 0, vHigh, PS_SOLID, 1, bColor, "High");
            drawLineRelative(FirstBar, vLow, 0, vLow, PS_SOLID, 1, aColor, "Low")
        }
    }
}
function Button1(nButtonPressed) {
    if (getButtonPressed(nButtonPressed) == 1) {
        drawLineRelative(FirstBar, vHigh, 0, vHigh, PS_SOLID, 1, bColor, "High");
        drawLineRelative(FirstBar, vLow, 0, vLow, PS_SOLID, 1, aColor, "Low")
    } 
}
function getButtonPressed(nButtonPressed) {
    
    if (nButtonPressed == BUTTON_LEFT) {
        return(1);
    }
    else {
        return(0);
    }
}

I changed the button function to the following:

function Button1(nButtonPressed, aColor, bColor) {
    if (getButtonPressed(nButtonPressed) == 1) {
        drawLineRelative(FirstBar, vHigh, 0, vHigh, PS_SOLID, 1, bColor, "High");
        drawLineRelative(FirstBar, vLow, 0, vLow, PS_SOLID, 1, aColor, "Low")
    } 
} 

Now it is no longer saying that the color is undefined, but states that function parameter #7, which is the color, is invalid.

Sorry to be a pain. The high and low values are correct, but I am also trying to return the value of the close after the first 15 minutes with the vClose variable but the formula output is only showing object series
Thanks.

Hi! I'm back. I have worked out the button function issue, but am still having a problem with the vClose value. This efs returns the High and Low values after the opening 15 minutes. I am also trying to return the current value. If I am using a 10 min chart, the close value will not work, because after 15 min. I am in the middle of a 10 min bar. Any suggestions?

Consider using "getBarStateInterval( interval ) "
