I am working through an exercise where you are asked to draw vertical lines on a chart to identify different signals. I don't seem to be able to find this tool (in the drawing tools) - I can easily attach a vertical trendline but not a line that i am in control of the length of. I'm sure this is something easy but i couldn't find anything in the Help menu either. Would appreciate some assistance if someone knows.

Mouse.

Mouse,

Program your condition to return a Boolean value (true or false, 1 or 0) and apply this indicator to the chart. Format the indicator as a Histogram and overlay without scaling, choose the colour of your liking. e.g.

Month()<>Ref(Month(),-1);

would draw a vertical line on the first trading day of the month.


Hope this helps.
