Make ChartXYtoTimePrice and ChartTimePricetoXY APIs available programmatically
29 Sep 2023, 15:59


Hello all, 

I've looked through the documentation but can't seem to find the necessary function i'm looking for. 

I've previously used MT4/5 so for those that are familiar, I'm looking for the ChartXYtoTimePrice and ChartTimePricetoXY functions. For those not aware of the functions, they're:

 

ChartXYtoTimePrice

  - Converts the Chart X & Y axis/pixels to their respective chart Time and Price values for an object, typically a trend line.

ChartTimePricetoXY

  - Converts Time and Price to XY pixel values 

Since converting these values won't give your precise values, CTrader team should consider adding a zoom/scale input argument for granular control. 

Each of these can be variable assigned and referenced later.

Ctrader should create them and make it available, without methods like these, a programmer is limited
