Retrieving XTL color

[Noam]

Hi

I m creating some strategies that include the XTL also.

How can I retreive the XTL color - for example
is there a command that will get the color of the current live bar so I can then use it in my strategy ?

Thanks a lot

Noam

p.s

same question for color and relative position of the JTI

Noam,

If you are a subscriber of the Advanced GET studies, you can use this formula as a base for accessing the XTL stuff.

It's been a while since I ran this so I'm not sure if it still works. I think there were some bugs with the fib calculations being done... It does demonstrate how to access the XTL study and there are constants for the return values.

function preMain() {
    setStudyTitle("Auto XTL");
    setPriceStudy(true);
}

var xtl = new GetXTLStudy(35);

var XTL_DOWN    = 0
var XTL_UP    = 1
var XTL_NEUTRAL    = 2

var vLastXTL = null;

function main() {
    var nState = getBarState();
    if(nState == BARSTATE_CURRENTBAR)
        return;

    // Syntax is getValue(GetXTLStudy.XTL, 0, -xxx);        
    var vXTL = xtl.getValue(0);
    
    if(vXTL == null)
        return;

    if(vLastXTL != null) {
        if(vLastXTL == XTL_DOWN  && vXTL != XTL_DOWN) {
            var vH = high(-1);
            var vL = low(-1);
            
            if(vH == null || vL == null)
                return;
                
            var vHL50 = (vH - vL) * 0.5;
            var vEntry = vL - vHL50;
            var vExit = vH + vHL50;
            var vStop = vEntry - (vExit - vEntry) * 1.618;
            

            addLineTool(LineTool.SEGMENT, getCurrentBarIndex()-1, vH, getCurrentBarIndex() + 5, vH, 2, Color.black, "tag");
            addLineTool(LineTool.SEGMENT, getCurrentBarIndex()-1, vL, getCurrentBarIndex() + 5, vL, 2, Color.black, "tag");

            addLineTool(LineTool.SEGMENT, getCurrentBarIndex()-1, vEntry, getCurrentBarIndex() + 5, vEntry, 2, Color.red, "tag");
            addLineTool(LineTool.SEGMENT, getCurrentBarIndex()-1, vExit, getCurrentBarIndex() + 5, vExit, 2, Color.red, "tag");
            addLineTool(LineTool.SEGMENT, getCurrentBarIndex()-1, vStop, getCurrentBarIndex() + 5, vStop, 2, Color.red, "tag");
            addLineTool(LineTool.SEGMENT, getCurrentBarIndex()-1, vStop, getCurrentBarIndex()-1, vExit, 1, Color.yellow, "tag");

            drawTextRelative(-1, vEntry, "Short@ " + vEntry, 
                Color.red, null,
                Text.BOTTOM | Text.RIGHT | Text.ONTOP | Text.BOLD, 
                null, null, "BuyEntry" + getValue("rawtime"));

            drawTextRelative(-1, vExit, "Cover@ " + vExit, 
                Color.red, null,
                Text.BOTTOM | Text.RIGHT | Text.ONTOP | Text.BOLD,

        } else if(vLastXTL == XTL_UP && vXTL != XTL_UP) {
