Overview

The Show Bar tool has a number of options and settings for display style that can be set directly via the tools properties (Display Arrow, Line, Symbol, etc).

From Optuma 2.0 and onward these options can also be controlled directly from the script itself using the symbol1. syntax.

Supported Properties

The properties supported are…

symbol1.DisplayType
symbol1.Position
symbol1.Colour
symbol1.Symbol
symbol1.ArrowType
symbol1.Size
symbol1.Align
symbol1.Text
symbol1.Width
symbol1.NumtoShow
symbol1.AstroText
symbol1.AstroDirection
symbol1.PriceFormat
symbol1.LineStyle
symbol1.Extend

To see how each of these items is used on the Show Bar please refer to the main tools article (Properties section).

Example

V1 = PIVOT(MIN=50) > 0; 
symbol1 = V1; 
symbol1.Position = High;
symbol1.Colour = Blue;
symbol1.Arrow Type = Down; 
symbol1.Display Type = Arrow;
