Need right settings for automatic trendlines on all timeframes

[gigiocean]

Please Can anyone give me the correct settings for the automatic trendlines tool on tradestation? Or if there is one tool better. Thanks in advance.

Hi gigiocean;

 

Automatic Trendlines?? I don´t know this indicator; share a code please, for that any one can help you.

[gigiocean]

{

This indicator:

(1) INSERTS DnTL's/UpTL's connecting each new SwingHi/SwingLo with the next most

recent higher/lower SwingHi/SwingLo within the last 10 SwingHi's/SwingLo's;

(2) EXTENDS each new TL to the right and SETS it's color and alert type;

(3) TRUNCATES a DnTL/UpTL on the right when the next new DnTL/UpTL is drawn (if the

History input is set to "Yes"), or BarsPast bars after it has been breached,

whichever comes first.

(4) DELETES a DnTL/UpTL when the next new DnTL/UpTL is drawn, if the History input

is set to "No".

 

NOTE: This indicator may not work well with low-count tick bars, such as 10-tick bars,

etc., because the time resolution of the bars may not be high enough for each bar to

have a distinct time stamp.
