current and previous bars highs and lows prints on the chart

[GussJ]

Hi Cal,
I have a question regarding Donchian Channel.
The prices print on the price axis based on settings.
IS there a way or another similar indicator to print the price on the chart itself based on the period settings?
Or maybe a swing high low indicator that I set it up to print the high/low swing prices on that chart based on a certain period?

Appreciate your feedback on this

Regards

Gussj,

It would be the same setup as the Text that we did with the High and Low prints. Except you would reference the Donchian Channel

I would take a look at the link below on how to reference the indicator -

Thanks Cal,
do I just copy the example in the link you provided?
I am sorry, I have zero expereince in programming, your guidance is appreciated.
There is no default indicator that prints the swing high/low based on a specific look back period right above/below the price bar?

Thanks

To do what you want, you will have to align your strings. Use the correct syntax for DrawText(), to draw as you want. In this particular case, you must replace your statement that are drawing your text with this:

            using (Font outputFont = new Font("DefaultMonoSpace", 6f))
            {
                DrawText("ch", true, currentHigh.ToString(), -1, High[0], 10, Color.Black, outputFont, StringAlignment.Near, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 0);
                DrawText("cl", true, currentLow.ToString(), -1, Low[0], -10, Color.Black, outputFont, StringAlignment.Near, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 0);
                DrawText("ph", true, previousHigh.ToString(), 0, High[1], 10, Color.Black, outputFont, StringAlignment.Far, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 0);
                DrawText("pl", true, previousLow.ToString(), 0, Low[1], -10, Color.Black, outputFont, StringAlignment.Far, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 0);
            }

Dear All,
I am trying to have the last price float next to the current bar in between the high and low of the current bar based on the above.(attached indicator)
I would appreciate your input on the above
Thanks all in advance

Add this to your text-drawing block.

DrawText("cp", true, Median[0].ToString(), -2, Median[0], 0, Color.Cyan, outputFont, StringAlignment.Near, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 0);

Naturally, you can make the color whatever you wish, instead of Cyan.

Kognaman,
One last request I previous mentioned, how I print the time it took for each bar from open to close when using tick charts.
For example, If the market is slow a 500t tic bar might take 3 min to complete from open to close but in fast market it might take 30 seconds, how can I have that time period printed for the previous and the current bar and have them printed below the lows of the bars?
Thanks again for all your help
