Wow, really? What happened to your firms pledge of securing private conversations? Whenever you dislike something or feel the need to clarify you go out there and put in public domain private conversations with your clients? This is weird on so many levels. Care to clarify? Did this user consent to have his private conversations published to be seen by the rest of the world?

 

I found a sample code that defines the HighestHigh and LowestLow withing a monthly period. It plots vertical lines that cross over these range lines. I need help to code the vertical lines to stay within the high and low lines. Is there a way to truncate these vertical lines to stay with this range?

Code:

declare upper;

input numdays    = 21; # added this as a variable rather than hard coded number so you can adjust it
input numMonths1 = 4;
input Show1 = yes;
input lineWeight = 3;
input extended_days = 21; #should be equal to or less than numdays

input Price = 2.5;
def barnumber = BarNumber();

def numBars1     = numdays * numMonths1;
def barNum       = if IsNaN( close ) then Double.NaN else BarNumber();
def lastBar     = HighestAll( barNum );
def startBar1    = if lastBar <= numBars1 then 1 else lastBar - numBars1;

def hData1       = If( barNum < startBar1, Double.NaN, high );
def lData1       = If( barNum < startBar1, Double.NaN, low );

plot HighestHigh1 = If( Show1, HighestAll( hData1 ), Double.NaN );
plot LowestLow1   = If( Show1, LowestAll( lData1 ),  Double.NaN );

#===================[ Define Plot Appearences ]=====================
DefineGlobalColor( "H1", Color.VIOLET);
DefineGlobalColor( "L1", Color.PINK);

HighestHigh1.SetPaintingStrategy( PaintingStrategy.LINE );
HighestHigh1.SetLineWeight( lineWeight );
HighestHigh1.AssignValueColor( GlobalColor( "H1" ) );
HighestHigh1.HideBubble();

LowestLow1.SetPaintingStrategy( PaintingStrategy.LINE );
LowestLow1.SetLineWeight( lineWeight );
LowestLow1.AssignValueColor( GlobalColor( "L1" ) );
LowestLow1.HideBubble();

def months1   = Round( ( lastBar - startBar1 + 1 ) / 21, 0 );

def BeginBarH = if barNum >= startBar1 and HighestAll(HighestHigh1) == high
                then  BarNumber() else BeginBarH[1];
def BeginBarL = if barNum >= startBar1 and HighestAll(LowestLow1) == low
                then  BarNumber() else  BeginBarL[1];
def BeginBar  = HighestAll(Min(BeginBarH, BeginBarL));

AddChartBubble( Show1 and barNum == BeginBar, HighestHigh1, Concat( "Highest High in ",  Concat( months1, Concat (" Months is ", HighestHigh1)) ), GlobalColor( "H1" ), yes );

AddChartBubble( Show1 and barNum == BeginBar, LowestLow1,   Concat( "Lowest Low in ",   Concat( months1, Concat (" Months is ", LowestLow1)) ), GlobalColor( "L1" ), no  );

def begindate = if BarNumber() == BeginBar then GetYYYYMMDD() else begindate[1];
def endclose  = if BarNumber() == BeginBar + extended_days then close else endclose[1];
def enddate   = if BarNumber() == BeginBar + extended_days then GetYYYYMMDD() else enddate[1];

Plot line = if barnumber between BeginBar and BeginBar + extended_days then Price else double.nan;
line.SetLineWeight(5);

input showverticals = yes;
AddVerticalLine(showverticals && BarNumber() == BeginBar, "               " + AsPrice(GetYYYYMMDD()) + " " + AsDollars(close), Color.GREEN, Curve.FIRM);
