Is there a way to change an indicator from a line to columns or histogram?

To add to my post. I have created a quick indictor (I have OT2020 RT) which plots on my chart. I have figured out that the indicators code is in a text file in OT2020\VBA\QuickIndicators. I've also figured out that "BaseLevel" is used in histograms and have applied the syntax in the text file for the quick indicator. It makes no difference, the indicator still displays as a line.

Plothist(“label”, value, baseline, color, width)

If it looks like a line then probably your value is fixed, equal to baseline.

Post your code and I’ll take a look.

You need OT Pro for this. I dont think quick indicators have a histogram plot option.

Thanks Jim, appreciate it.

#Indicator

Dim fValue As Single

fValue = RSI(8)-50 * 1.5
Plothisto("Value", fValue,1,green,5)

Return fValue

Not at my PC but my guess is that you meant this:

fValue = ( RSI(8)-50 ) * 1.5
Plothist(“value”, fvalue, 0, green, 1)
… my iPhone apparently added an “o” earlier.

Precedence of operators is important in coding. * & / happen before + & -

Still the same. Looks like it's not possible with the QuickIndicator.

Thanks for helping anyway :-)
