Price Levels

The following code is an example of how to create horizontal lines at different price levels.

 //
 // Sample script for Optuma tool scripting
 // This tool creates horizontal lines at 45, 50 and 60 price points
 // It also create horizontal lines at the highest high and the lowest low
 //
 // This section is where variable are defined that need to be used in both the Init and Process procedures
 var
     Lines : TPriceLevels;
     bCreateLines : Boolean;
 // DefineTool is where the settings for the Tool are defined
 // This procedure is called once when the tool is loaded
 // Normally this procedure does not need to be changed
 procedure DefineTool(Tool : TTool);
 begin
     Tool.Name := 'Price Levels';
     Tool.MouseClicks := 2;
     Tool.Hint := '';
     Tool.ToolType := ttDrawing;
 end;
 // Init is called to initialise the tool
 // This procedure is called once when the tool is added to a chart
 procedure Init(Tool : TTool);
 var
     Level : TPriceLevel;
 begin
    Lines := Tool.AddPriceLevels();
 //   Lines.Extend := true;   // uncomment this line to have the lines fully extend
    Level := Lines.AddLevel(50);
    Level.Color := clgreen;
    Lines.AddLevel(45);
    Level := Lines.AddLevel(60);
    Level.Color := clBlue;
    Level.Style := dash;
    bCreateLines := True;
 end;
 // Process is called to calculate and drawn the tool on screen
 // This procedure is called when new data is received or loaded and
 // when a selection point is moved by the user
 procedure Process(Tool : TTool; ProcessStart : Integer; ProcessEnd : Integer; DataIn : TDataList);
 var
     i : Integer;
     rHighest, rLowest : Boolean;
 begin
     if bCreateLines then
     begin
         Lines.ClearLevels;
         rHighest := 0;
         rLowest := 1E10;
         for i := ProcessStart to ProcessEnd do
         begin
             if DataIn.Row[i].High > rHighest then
                 rHighest := DataIn.Row[i].High;
             if DataIn.Row[i].Low < rLowest then
                 rLowest :=  DataIn.Row[i].Low;
         end;
         Lines.AddLevel(rHighest); // adds a line at highest high
         Lines.AddLevel(rLowest); // adds line at lowest low
         bCreateLines  := False;
     end;
 end;
