types.MarkerShape#

Seven-glyph shape union shared by plot.marker and entity.marker.

SYNTAX#

type MarkerShape = 'circle' | 'square' | 'triangle' | 'triangle-down' | 'diamond' | 'cross' | 'x'

ARGUMENTS#

circle ('circle') — Filled circle. The default for plot.marker.
square ('square') — Filled square.
triangle ('triangle') — Upward-pointing triangle — conventional for buy/long signals.
triangle-down ('triangle-down') — Downward-pointing triangle — conventional for sell/short signals.
diamond ('diamond') — Filled diamond.
cross ('cross') — Plus-shaped cross.
x ('x') — Diagonal cross.

RETURNS#

Type definition.

REMARKS#

In the runtime contract this union is declared once as EntityMarkerShape, with PlotMarkerShape as a direct alias — the two surfaces are guaranteed to stay in lockstep.

EXAMPLE#

function onBar(i, ctx) {
  if (i < 1) return;
  if (candles[i].close > candles[i-1].high) {
    plot.marker('breakout', candles[i].high, { shape: 'triangle', color: '#26a69a', size: 8 });
  }
