Parameters

owner

The bar the second anchor of the object will be drawn at. A value of 10 would be 10 bars ago.

anchor3BarsAgo

The bar the third anchor of the object will be drawn at. A value of 10 would be 10 bars ago.

anchor4BarsAgo

The bar the forth anchor of the object will be drawn at. A value of 10 would be 10 bars ago.

// Draws a PathTool object based on a list of anchors with specified times

List<ChartAnchor> anchors = new List<ChartAnchor>();

anchors.Add(new ChartAnchor(new DateTime(2018, 5, 25), 194, ChartControl));

anchors.Add(new ChartAnchor(new DateTime(2018, 6, 12), 184, ChartControl));

anchors.Add(new ChartAnchor(new DateTime(2018, 6, 7), 176, ChartControl));

anchors.Add(new ChartAnchor(new DateTime(2018, 5, 21), 182, ChartControl));
