Get Visible Edge of chart
Get Visible Edge of chart
22 Jan 2021, 14:18
Is there a way to find a value that represents the last index or date time visible at the right edge of chart area. I am drawing rectangles at specific price points and need to do so from the right edge of the chart. At the moment I am doing it be including a parameter that allows the user to set an offset from the last bar, but I would like to do it automatically. So if the user has dragged the bar time indicator at the bottom to make more space on the right, I want to be able to re-render from the new last visible point on the chart.

Hi cTKit,
You can use LastVisibleBarIndex.

I looked at that but documentation suggests this is the index of the last actual candle/bar rather the last visible position. I will try it out.

That doesn't work, as the documentation suggests this value is the index of the last actual candle that is visible. I need a position for the edge of the chart window when the bars have been moved left to leave more than the default amount of space. Ideally something like LastVisibleDateTime.

Hi cTKit,
There is no such option in the API at the moment.
