Welcome to tutorial 65 in this series of tutorials designed to demonstrate TradeStation EasyLanguage programming techniques.
Tutorial 64 demonstrated how to draw a line on a chart using the TradeStation drawing tool and then, using EasyLanguage programming techniques, find the reference of the line and use the reference to find the values along the line. This tutorial expands on this idea by drawing the values to each end of the line and placing the difference of the two end point values multiplied by a user input multiplier in the middle of the line (with some restrictions, see below.)
The tutorial allows the user to specify the colors of the text objects and the line itself.
The tutorial demonstrates the use of a method that includes the line processing functionality. It also uses the new TradeStation timer to look for changes in the line position and DateTime and TimeSpan objects. I explain the program in the video.
An in depth video, below, explains the tutorial in detail. The unprotected program for version 9.0 is available for immediate download for $24.95 here.
The program works in TradeStation version 9.0 and is commented throughout. The program has been tested on intraday, daily, weekly and monthly charts.

EasyLanguage is a programming language that is part of the TradeStation trading platform. It can be used to write programs to help in the technical analysis and trading of foreign exchange (forex or FX), commodities (e.g. the Dow e-mini, S&P e-mini etc), options, and stocks.
