Plotting lines with breaks

[xterminator]

I am trying to plot pivot points which have three resistance and support levels including their corresponding middle points. This will be on intraday charts. Since pivot points uses previous day daily prices for its calculations, there are break in values for every other day.

My AFL code connects the lines for different days when viewing intraday chart.

I want a line break for a new day.

Here is my AFL:

// Initial time frame is 15 minutes or other intraday value

TimeFrameSet(inDaily);
p = (High + Low + Close) / 3;
r1 = (2 * p) - Low;
s1 = (2 * p) - High;
r2 = p + (r1 - s1);
s2 = p - (r1 - s1);
r3 = r1 + (High - Low);
s3 = s1 - (High - Low);

r_m1 = p + (r1 - p) / 2;
r_m2 = r1 + (r2 - r1) / 2;
r_m3 = r2 + (r3 - r2) / 2;

s_m1 = s1 + (p - s1) / 2;
s_m2 = s2 + (s1 - s2) / 2;
s_m3 = s3 + (s2 - s3) / 2;
TimeFrameRestore();


p = TimeFrameExpand(p, inDaily);
r1 = TimeFrameExpand(r1, inDaily);
s1 = TimeFrameExpand(s1, inDaily);
r2 = TimeFrameExpand(r2, inDaily);
s2 = TimeFrameExpand(s2, inDaily);
r3 = TimeFrameExpand(r3, inDaily);
s3 = TimeFrameExpand(s3, inDaily);
r_m1 = TimeFrameExpand(r_m1, inDaily);
r_m2 = TimeFrameExpand(r_m2, inDaily);
r_m3 = TimeFrameExpand(r_m3, inDaily);
s_m1 = TimeFrameExpand(s_m1, inDaily);
s_m2 = TimeFrameExpand(s_m2, inDaily);
s_m3 = TimeFrameExpand(s_m3, inDaily);


Plot(p, "Pivot", colorDarkBlue, styleNoLabel | styleNoTitle);
Plot(r1, "R1", colorRed, styleNoLabel | styleNoTitle);
Plot(r2, "R2", colorRed, styleNoLabel | styleNoTitle);
Plot(r3, "R3", colorRed, styleNoLabel | styleNoTitle);

Plot(s2, "S3", colorGreen, styleNoLabel | styleNoTitle);
Plot(s3, "S3", colorGreen, styleNoLabel | styleNoTitle);
Plot(r_m1, "RM1", colorYellow, styleDots | styleNoLabel | styleNoTitle);
Plot(r_m2, "RM2", colorYellow, styleDots | styleNoLabel | styleNoTitle);
Plot(r_m3, "RM3", colorYellow, styleDots | styleNoLabel | styleNoTitle);
Plot(s_m1, "SM1", colorYellow, styleDots | styleNoLabel | styleNoTitle);
Plot(s_m2, "SM3", colorYellow, styleDots | styleNoLabel | styleNoTitle);
Plot(s_m3, "SM3", colorYellow, styleDots | styleNoLabel | styleNoTitle);

try PlotOHLC() instead of Plot()

Tried it, same results as before.

[rottor]

but why are you using styleLine ?

you should use styleCandle here

[xterminator]

It is better now. Although it makes all the lines dotted but I wanted only the mid lines dotted. This is doable, though.

As I understand, if I want the lines my way, I will have to use low-level graphics functions?

Thanks anyways though.

For reference, here is my code:

SetTradeDelays(0, 0, 0, 0);

r2 = p + (r1 - s1);
s2 = p - (r1 - s1);
r3 = r1 + (High - Low);
s3 = s1 - (High - Low);

r_m1 = p + (r1 - p) / 2;
r_m2 = r1 + (r2 - r1) / 2;
r_m3 = r2 + (r3 - r2) / 2;

s_m1 = s1 + (p - s1) / 2;
s_m2 = s2 + (s1 - s2) / 2;
s_m3 = s3 + (s2 - s3) / 2;
TimeFrameRestore();


p = TimeFrameExpand(p, inDaily);
r1 = TimeFrameExpand(r1, inDaily);
s1 = TimeFrameExpand(s1, inDaily);
r2 = TimeFrameExpand(r2, inDaily);
s2 = TimeFrameExpand(s2, inDaily);
r3 = TimeFrameExpand(r3, inDaily);
s3 = TimeFrameExpand(s3, inDaily);
r_m1 = TimeFrameExpand(r_m1, inDaily);
r_m2 = TimeFrameExpand(r_m2, inDaily);
r_m3 = TimeFrameExpand(r_m3, inDaily);
s_m1 = TimeFrameExpand(s_m1, inDaily);
s_m2 = TimeFrameExpand(s_m2, inDaily);
s_m3 = TimeFrameExpand(s_m3, inDaily);
