Re: High and Low Displayed on Chart

: Is there a way to write the high and low of the current bar to the screen

Clyde Lee wrote the code below for just the close; I modified it to find the
Highest High and Lowest Low of a lookback period. In your case, I'd set the
lookback period (Lbck) to one for your 3 min bar (I haven't tried it with a
lookback period of one but I think it'll work.).


Inputs:  NumDec(3), {Number of decimal spaces to use on post}
   Lbck(10), {Lookback period for Lowest L and Highest H}
         Color(white);     {Color of text that is posted.          }
Vars:    DoInit(True), HH(0), LL(0);

Value1=AddTime(T,BarInterval);

If LastBarOnChart then begin
  If DoInit then begin
  HH=Highest(H, Lbck);
  LL=Lowest(L, Lbck);
  Value2=Text_New(D,Value1,C,"="+NumToStr(C, numdec));
  Value3=Text_New(D,Value1,HH,"="+NumToStr(HH, numdec));
  Value4=Text_New(D,Value1,LL,"="+NumToStr(LL, numdec));
  end
  else  begin
    Text_SetLocation(Value2,D,Value1,C);
    Text_SetString(Value2, "="+NumToStr(C, numdec));
 Text_SetLocation(Value3,D,Value1,HH);
    Text_SetString(Value3, "="+NumToStr(HH, numdec));
 Text_SetLocation(Value4,D,Value1,LL);
    Text_SetString(Value4, "="+NumToStr(LL, numdec));
  end;
  DoInit=False;
  Text_SetStyle(value2, 0, 2);
  Text_SetColor(Value2,color);
  Text_SetStyle(value3, 0, 2);
  Text_SetColor(Value3,blue);
  Text_SetStyle(value4, 0, 2);
  Text_SetColor(Value4,red);
End;
