Linebreak chart in pine script not plot anything

Question

//@version=5
indicator("Line Break Chart")

var linebreak = 3
var current_direction = 1
var last_high = high
var last_low = low
var counter = 0

for i = 1 to 2000

    if counter == 0
        last_high := high[i]
        last_low := low[i]
    
    if current_direction == 1 and close[i] > last_high
        current_direction := -1
        last_low := close[i]
        counter := linebreak - 1
    else if current_direction == -1 and close[i] < last_low
        current_direction := 1
        last_high := close[i]
        counter := linebreak - 1
    
    counter := counter - 1
    
    if counter == 0
        if current_direction == 1
            last_high := high[i]
        else
            last_low := low[i]
     
    
plot(current_direction == 1 ? last_high : last_low, "Line Break Chart", color = current_direction == 1 ? color.green : color.red, style = plot.style_linebr)

i want to plot linebreak chart without using built-in function , i use this code but it plot nothing. is there any other code avalible which plot linebreak chart without using built-in function

Answer 1

You can only query linebreak chart data and associate it with the bars of the current chart using ticker.linebreak() + request.security(), but you cannot create exactly the same chart in terms of the length of the linebreak bars, the scale x(time) cannot be changed.

//@version=5
indicator("ticker.linebreak", overlay = true) 
lbTickerid = ticker.linebreak(syminfo.tickerid, 3)
[lbOpen, lbCose] = request.security(lbTickerid, timeframe.period, [open, close], lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on)
plotcandle(lbOpen, math.max(lbOpen, lbCose), math.min(lbOpen, lbCose), lbCose, color = lbCose < lbOpen ? color.red : color.green)

Note: the security function call in the above example gets the most recent data and is an issue for repainting. To avoid this, remove the lookahead parameter.
