OHLC

📕 LIBRARY OHLC


🔷 Introduction

This library is a custom library designed to work with real-time bars. It allows to easily calculate OHLC values for any source.
Personally, I use this library to accurately display the highest and lowest values on visual indicators such as my progress bars.



🔷 How to Use

◼ 1. Import the OHLC library into your TradingView script:

import cryptolinx/OHLC/1

- or -

Instead of the library namespace, you can define a custom namespace as alias.

import cryptolinx/OHLC/1 as src

◼ 2. Create a new OHLC source using the `new()` function.

varip mySrc = OHLC.new()  // It is required to use the `varip` keyword to init your `<OHLC.src>`

- or -

If you has set up an alias before.

varip mySrc = src.new()

===

In that case, your `<OHLC.src>` needs to be `na`, define your object like that

varip <OHLC.src> mySrc = na

◼ 3. Call the `hydrateOHLC()` method on your OHLC source to update its values:

Basic

float rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14)
mySrc.hydrateOHLC(rsi)

- or -

Inline

rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14).hydrateOHLC(mySrc)

◼ 4. The data is accessible under their corresponding names.

mySrc.open
mySrc.high
mySrc.low
mySrc.close

🔷 Note: This library only works with real-time bars and will not work with historical bars.
