Hi All,

When I use the below code it places the ODL directly onto the actual bars. How do I lift it up a bit so that it does not cover the surrounding bar information?

[color=Blue]

[linestyle=Text; textalign=Above,Center]

if(outside() AND (((High-Low)/2)+Low)>Close, "ODL", undefined);

Low;

Neil.

Positioning the text with respect to the high helps:

[linestyle=Text; textalign=Above,Center]

if(outside() AND (((High-Low)/2)+Low)>Close, "ODL", undefined);

High;

Also, you can use High + an offset, eg High*1.05

Incidently, the code should include [target=price]

Cheers

Thanks CR,

Was not aware you could add a offset.

Finished indicator -

[target=Price]

[color=Blue]

[linestyle=Text; textalign=Above,Center]

if(outside(){ AND (((High-Low)/2)+Low)<Close}, "ODH", undefined);

High+ATR(3);

[color=Blue]

[linestyle=Text; textalign=Below,Center]

if(outside() AND (((High-Low)/2)+Low)>Close, "ODL", undefined);

Low-ATR(3);

Only question now is, after plotting how do I select just this indicator so that I may delete it without selecting other indicators in the "Edit\Delete All" menu option?

Neil.

I noticed that too. One way would be to add markers to the indicator. It would look better and you could click onto a marker to enable deleting.
