How to draw a horizontal line across only 5, 8, or 13 bars?
21 Jan 2020, 03:58

Hi everyone:

With the new API, Chart.DrawHorizontalLine doesn't seem to allow the drawing of horizontal lines that only span a fixed amount of candles or timeframe. Instead, it appears it only draws across the entire chart with absolutely no control over the length?

Is there a way to draw a horizontal line on a chart that only spans the last x candles?

Thank you.

Hi firemyst,

You can use Chart.DrawTrendLine() for this.

Thanks @Panagiotis! That's what I needed. Only tricky part was remembering to set the 2 datetime parameters (x-axis) to the same value.
