Hi,
I need some help with adding the Text Labels to the built In Floor Trader Pivots indicator in Tradestation.

Would appreciate if someone can help me with the same. The labels need to be at the beginning of the line.

thanks. Much appreciated

This is a little more involved than I have time for, but if you are willing to give it a shot, us the text_new and text_setcolor functions.

Here is an example from one of my indicators:

Code

value1 = text_new(date, // the date where the label will go
                               time, //  the time, i.e. the bar where the label will go
                               Low, //   where you want to place the label.... in this case it is at the low of the bar
                               "Hello world!") ;   // this is your label text, whatever that is
Text_setcolor(value1, white) ;

Before you modify the indicator, save it as a new indicator with a prefix of your choosing (e.g. XYZ Floor Trader Pivots). That way you can always reference back to the original code.

I hope this points you in the right direction.

If you add the code below to the bottom of the "Floor Trader Pivots" indicator code, it will give you labels (of the values) at the beginning of the pivot lines. (For intra-day charts)

if d>d[1] then begin
if Plot_5or7 = 7 then begin
value1 = Text_New(Date, Time, R3, numtostr(R3,2));
Text_SetStyle(value1,0,1);
Text_setcolor(value1, red);
end;
value2 = Text_New(Date, Time, R2, numtostr(R2,2));
Text_SetStyle(value2,0,1);
Text_setcolor(value2, blue);
value3 = Text_New(Date, Time, R1, numtostr(R1,2));
Text_SetStyle(value3,0,1);
Text_setcolor(value3, yellow);
value4 = Text_New(Date, Time, PP, numtostr(PP,2));
Text_SetStyle(value4,0,1);
Text_setcolor(value4, cyan);
value5 = Text_New(Date, Time, S1, numtostr(S1,2));
Text_SetStyle(value5,0,1);
Text_setcolor(value5, red);
value6 = Text_New(Date, Time, S2, numtostr(S2,2));
Text_SetStyle(value6,0,1);
Text_setcolor(value6, blue);
if Plot_5or7 = 7 then begin
value7 = Text_New(Date, Time, S3, numtostr(S3,2));
Text_SetStyle(value7,0,1);
Text_setcolor(value7, yellow);
end;
end;
