Names of the days of the week

[yameen.forex]

Hi all,

Wondering does anyone has an indicator Names of the days of the week being painted onto onto an hourly chart as a Text Label? Like Mon, Tue, Wed, etc.. I know, we can see this detail for a running candle, but I would like to get this printed for the previous days for an easy reference.

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Regards
Yam

Hello,

You can contact with our programmer via email services@forextester.com and send him details of this indicator so he can help you.

I don't have to pay to a programmer just to display the Week day name. I can try to write myself!

Ok, no problem, we provide Delphi and C++ API for writing indicators
You can find API files in <Forex Tester folder>\Examples\Indicators folder.
Please see more information about API here:

Hi,
I'm after the same indicator.
I've managed to write Delphi code to show days in different WingDing font.
I just dont know how to write a character under each bar. eg M

I've found examples where text is written to screen coordinates but i dont see how to write under a Bar coordinate.
I was wondering if anyone could provide an example.
Thanks,
Ant

You can remove row in code where enabling sreen coordinates...
For example something like this

Code: Select all

ObjectSet(ObjName,OBJPROP_SCREENCOORDS,1);

in this case you can set coordinates based on price and time

Thanks neHcioHep,
Can you please provide an example?

I ended up using WingDings for the time being.

Code attached.

In your case you should use some another way

Code: Select all


//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Initialization procedure
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
procedure Init; stdcall;
begin
  // ...
  SetOutputWindow(ow_ChartWindow);   
  // ...
end;


//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Calculate single bar
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
procedure Calculate(index: integer); stdcall;
var bufValue : double;
begin

  dMoDayOfWeekBuffer[index] := 0.0;
  dTuDayOfWeekBuffer[index] := 0.0;
  dWeDayOfWeekBuffer[index] := 0.0;
  dThDayOfWeekBuffer[index] := 0.0;
  dFrDayOfWeekBuffer[index] := 0.0;

  dtime := (DayOfTheWeek(Time(index)))  ;
  bufValue := Low(index) - 3*Point();

  if (dtime = 1  ) then // Monday
    dMoDayOfWeekBuffer[index] := bufValue ;

  if (dtime = 2  ) then
   dTuDayOfWeekBuffer[index] := bufValue ;

  if (dtime = 3  ) then
    dWeDayOfWeekBuffer[index] := bufValue ;

  if (dtime = 4  ) then
    dThDayOfWeekBuffer[index] := bufValue ;

  if (dtime = 5  ) then
    dFrDayOfWeekBuffer[index] := bufValue ;



end;
