Custom drawing tool
Custom drawing tool
27 May 2021, 20:44
I had a custom drawing tool programmed that I can call by clicking a button on the chart. It is basically a Fibonacci tool that extends infinitely to the right. Problem is that the drawing is lost when I change timeframes. Also, if I load new bars (when I scroll to the left) the custom drawings are lost. The built in drawing tools do not have that problem, and I am wondering if there is a way to do this also for custom drawings.

The built-in indicators do not have a problem with reloading data or changing TFs. How do they accomplish that vs the custom drawing tools?
Any input is appreciated.

Hi,
The reason drawings disappear is because of not being interactive, if an indicator/cBot drew something on your chart and don't make it interactive then it will disappear if indicator/cBot reloaded.
To make the indicator drawings interactive you must have access to the code.

Hi amusleh,
I have contacted the developer and he responded that if the line levels of the fibo tool were interactive they could all be moved individually. Thus the question is if only the outer lines can be made adjustable, like it is the case for every fibonacci tool. You apparently have done that for your own custom fibo tool. Could you give some hints on how you have achieved that? I know your code is proprietary, too, so I respect if you want to keep this "close to your vest".

Hi,
My code is not proprietary, the indicator is open source on Github:
