Hi Pete,

Is it possible to create a code for the textbox drawing tool so the text box keeps progressing forward as the new candles form? I am trying to input the text in the text box from which I can easily recognize the existing studies settings in the chart when I scroll through the grid having similar studies with different settings. For example for your study – Chart_Macd_Rsi if I want to keep one chart with the overbought oversold settings at the live bar and another with closed bar and so on. I hope I have provided the information to understand what I am looking for. If there is a limitation in TOS for this to do, I would appreciate any other solution if you come up with.

Thank you,

Shaishav

I can address this portion of your question:

No, we cannot create or manipulate any drawing tools on Thinkorswim. We can display chart bubbles but on text boxes. The chart bubble can be coded to display on a specific bar of the chart.

The following code will plot a chart bubble on the last bar of the chart. The text displayed in the chart bubble can be adjusted through the study input named "bubble text".

input bubbleText = "This displays in the chart bubble";
AddChartBubble(!IsNaN(close) and IsNaN(close[-1]), high, bubbleText, Color.WHITE, yes);

Sorry about that. I was trying to do that without testing it first. I misplaced a couple of the parameters. I have corrected it now.

This is perfect when I want to scroll through the charts in a grid with similar study settings to differentiate at a first glance. Thank you Pete.
