The horzline attribute only allows fixed numbers to be entered. (notcalculations). Therefore, to get around the problem, we just return thecalculation as a normal plot, but in such a way that it always returnsthe same result and appears as a horizontal line. (this is how peopleusually achieve horizontal lines in Metastock scripts).

Eg:

{Fixed horizontal line}
[horzline=20,80]

{Calculated horizontal line)
5*10;

{Calculated horizontal line based on price info }
lastvalue( Low * 0.9)

The way I read the manual, this puts lines at (in this example) the 20% and 80% points. Presumable on an oscillator. For aprice chart would I use

[horzline=1.23]   (for a line at $1.23)

3*5;

So this would be [horzline=3*5]   ??

If you want to make the calculation based on current prices, etc, then use the lastvalue function. Eg:
lastvalue( Low * 0.9);

So this would be [horzline=lastvalue( Low * 0.9)]   ??

This will calculate the result for the last bar and return that result on every bar.

This raises a good point - presumably this would fill the screen with horizontal lines? Can you alter the width of a line?

What i would like to do is draw a horizontal line at a calclated level.

ie I want to draw a line at a set price (say $3.00) - how is this done?
