The issue of copying actual studies has been covered a few times from memory
Sid but I don't know where it stands.
I created a script for it because I got so sick of not only copying study lines
but re-copying them whenever you change one.
The following is a simple display of what I was referring to in my last post.
Add this to any existing script that has a price plot.
Create a text file called levels.txt with a different level value on each line
and put it in the root Amibroker folder.
This code just loads that data into static vars when you click the Load button,
then displays them.
I use a similar one and find it the fastest way to display horizontal levels
across multiple charts. It has the natural advantage that you only have to
change a value once in the text file to have it updated across all charts.
showLevels = ParamToggle("Show Levels", "No|Yes");
filename = ParamStr("Filename", "levels.txt");
LoadTrigger = ParamTrigger("Load Levels", "Load Levels");
VarPrefix = "levels";
procedure loadLevels (){
fh = fopen(filename, "r");
if(fh) {
StaticVarRemove(VarPrefix + "*");
LevelCount = 0;
while(!feof(fh)){
Line = fgets(fh);
LevelCount++;
LevelValue = StrToNum(Line);
StaticVarSet(VarPrefix + LevelCount, LevelValue);
}
StaticVarSet(VarPrefix + "levelcount", LevelCount);
fclose(fh);
}
}
procedure displayLevels(){
LevelCount = StaticVarGet(VarPrefix + "levelcount");
if (!IsEmpty(LevelCount)){
for (i=1; i<=LevelCount; i++){
LevelValue = StaticVarGet(VarPrefix + i);
if (!IsEmpty(LevelValue)){
Plot(LevelValue, "", colorBlack, styleLine);
}
}
}
}
if(LoadTrigger){
LoadLevels();
}
if (showLevels){
displayLevels();
}
The levels.txt file would look something like this
4000
4005
4020
4035
etc
