AFL to show High and Low price of candles

Can someone plz help me with an AFL to get a label on top and Bottom of each candle specifying the High and Low price of the same? Just the last 2 digits with 1 decimal point is enough (bcos of space constraints)

Like as shown in the picture...

This wud be really helpful for scalpers where speed is money....

Thanx in advance

Hi Shanki99,

Try the following code:

// **********************************************
SetChartBkColor(colorBlack);
SetChartOptions(0, chartShowDates | chartWrapTitle);

PlotOHLC(O, H, L, C, "Close", colorLightGrey, styleCandle | styleNoLabel);

for(i = 0; i<BarCount; i++)
{
PlotText(StrRight(NumToStr(H, 1.2), 5), i, H, colorGreen);
PlotText(StrRight(NumToStr(L, 1.2), 5), i, 0.998 * L, colorRed);
}



// **********************************************

The High and Low of each candle are labelled with last two digits and two decimals.


The out put from the above code is shown in the image below:

Thanx a lot anantji....but will this code slows down the entire process?? even the cursor moves a bit slow....or do i need to tinker somewhere else?

You do need special AFL. Just choose the wicks colour as similar to your
background.

Iam not getting u, what is that u are referring to ??

I slightly tinkered the code as below...i also changed the Font as Arial Narrow so the numbers shows up nicely



SetChartBkColor(colorWhite);
SetChartOptions(0, chartShowDates | chartWrapTitle);

PlotOHLC(O, H, L, C, "Close", colorLightGrey, styleCandle | styleNoLabel);

for(i = 0; i<BarCount; i++)
{
PlotText(StrRight(NumToStr(H, 0.1), 4), i, H+3, colorDarkGreen);
PlotText(StrRight(NumToStr(L, 0.1), 4), i, L-3, colorRed);
}

Btw how to make this code to show only the last 5 or 10 candle's Hi Lo values??

too many numbers in the chart

To show the labels on last few candles, change the For loop. For example, to show on last 10 candles, make it as follows:

for(i = BarCount -10; i < BarCount; i++)

No changes to any other lines.
