MC inputs via currently highlighted line or text.
Posted: Jun 06 2008
If MC can not do this now, as a discretionary trader I think it would be very useful if in MC, one could get the attributes of the currently highlight text box or trend line. It would have to be any text or trend line meaning either one placed on the chart by the EL code or manually by the user. Example code.
If CurrentlyHighLightedText_Value = "CodeFormatForMyEntryPoiints" then
Prepare That Particulare Entry Point.
If CurrentlyHighLightedText_Price = 1500 then
do something with the attributes.
If CurrentlyHighLightedText_Date = Whatever then
do something with the attributes.
If CurrentlyHighLightedText_Time = Whatever then
do something with the attributes.
If CurrentlyHighLightedLine_StartTime = Whatever then
do something with the attributes.
If CurrentlyHighLightedLine_Endtime = Whatever then
do something with the attributes.
If CurrentlyHighLightedLine_StartPrice = Whatever then
do something with the attributes.
How might it be used? I am sure there are lots of ways but for me I typically have my potential entry points displayed on the minute bar screen in text short forms. I would click on the one I want and its text code would be used to set my entry point for auto-fire. It would save a lot of data entry time, which I currently do through a database program.
