Tutorial 58 | Drawing text objects based on RSI values

Welcome to tutorial 58 in this series of tutorials designed to help you learn TradeStation EasyLanguage.

THIS IS A BEGINNER LEVEL TUTORIAL.

Someone on the email list asked if I could do a simple tutorial to show how to ‘draw’ RSI values on a chart when the RSI exceeded a specified value. This is actually a very simple thing to do and I demonstrate it in the quick video below.

The program I enter in the video is as follows:

Value1 = RSI( C, 14 );

If Value1 > 60 Then Value2 = Text_New( D, T, L, NumToStr( Value1, 2 ) );

Volume Ratio lines drawn on 1 minute @ES chart The image on the right shows the program applied to a chart. It also includes the RSI TradeStation indicator which is set to change color when the RSI is over the 60 line.

A video below explains the tutorial in more detail.

Please join our email mailing list if you have not already done so and we will let you know when we release new tutorials or programs.

Later in the tutorial I create another version of the program as follows:

Once Clearprintlog;

Value1 = RSI( C, 14 );

If Value1 >= 50 then
Begin
Value2 = Text_New(D,T,L,NumToStr( Value1, 2 ) );
If LastBarOnChart then Print( D, T, ” Value2 “, Value2,” RSI “,Value1 );
End;
