How can i draw a dot on my chart?

You are going to have to tell it where to place the dot.... have a look at OBJECTS

Thanks Viffer,

But how can i use the sample?

I need a round circle on top of the bar/candle that is at the privious bar of the current bar when a specific pattern has occured.

I cannot see how i can control that with the x and y distance.

The x and Y co ordinates are the time for x and a price for y. So the x and y for the high of the prev bar would be Time[1] and High[1].

After hours of searching i have finally found this peace of code to draw my dot's, but it's only drawing one red dot and not a red dot over each bar that meet my critia.

      string objName = "Bullseye"; 
      if (ObjectFind(objName) != -1) {
         ObjectDelete(objName);
      }
         double price = High[1]; 
         ObjectCreate(objName, OBJ_TEXT, 0, Time[1], High[1]); 
         ObjectSetText(objName, CharToStr(159), 14, "Wingdings", Red); 
    }

Can anyone see what wrong in my code?

   double Bar1, Bar2, Buttom, Top;
   double OpenPrice1=Open[1]; 
   double ClosePrice1=Close[1]; 
   double HighPrice1=High[1]; 
   double LowPrice1=Low[1];
   
   double OpenPrice2=Open[2]; 
   double ClosePrice2=Close[2]; 
   double HighPrice2=High[2]; 
   double LowPrice2=Low[2];
      
   
   // Find high/low of the two doji bars
   if (HighPrice1 > HighPrice2)  {
         Top = HighPrice1;
      }  else  { 
         Top = HighPrice2;
      }

   if (LowPrice1 > LowPrice2) {
         Buttom = LowPrice1;
      }  else  {
         Buttom = LowPrice2;
      }

   if (( MathAbs(OpenPrice1-ClosePrice1) <= 4*Point) && ( MathAbs(OpenPrice2-ClosePrice2) <= 4*Point)) {
         DrawDot();
      }
}      

    void DrawDot()
    {
      string objName = "TouchDown"; 
      if (ObjectFind(objName) != -1) {
         ObjectDelete(objName);
      }
         double price = High[1]; 
         ObjectCreate(objName, OBJ_TEXT, 0, Time[1], price); 
         ObjectSetText(objName, CharToStr(159), 14, "Wingdings", Red); 
    }

Each dot will need its own object name if you want lots of dots. Typically, that can be achieved like so..

string objName = "Bullseye"+Time[1];

And just to expand... in your code you are using

      if (ObjectFind(objName) != -1) {
         ObjectDelete(objName);

Which means, if the object called "objName" already exists, delete it.

Ohh yeah.... that works much better :) Thanks a lot!

Do you know how i can make a distance so that the red dot is not in the middle of the bar but on top of the bar with a few pips distance?

just add how ever many pips on to the High[1]. It doesn't have to be THE price just any number that is on the price axis of your chart

Ok i have now cooked it down to this. And it works perfect. Thanks!

    void DrawDot()   {  
         string objName = "Bullseye" + Time[1]; 
         ObjectCreate(objName, OBJ_TEXT, 0, Time[1], High[1]+10*Point); 
         ObjectSetText(objName, CharToStr(159), 14, "Wingdings", Red); 
      }

Thank you for the code! It helped me out form lots or trying!
