I have been able to "modify" the following real code to give alerts when a price breaks a trendline in a chart but would like to scan a population of stocks in radar.
This code also makes lines that are needed on a chart that I think could go away with the proper code.
Can anyone that knows Tradestation easylanguage modify this code to work with radar?
A current stock that will give a signal is AGO as it broke out friday at 20.11.
Obviously I am not using the right tool for the job but I was hoping to be able to just modify some code so I would not have to reinvent the wheel.
Thanks

This indicator:
(1) INSERTS DnTL's/UpTL's connecting each new SwingHi/SwingLo with the next most
recent higher/lower SwingHi/SwingLo within the last 10 SwingHi's/SwingLo's;
(2) EXTENDS each new TL to the right and SETS it's color and alert type;
(3) TRUNCATES a DnTL/UpTL on the right when the next new DnTL/UpTL is drawn (if the
History input is set to "Yes"), or BarsPast bars after it has been breached,
whichever comes first.
(4) DELETES a DnTL/UpTL when the next new DnTL/UpTL is drawn, if the History input
is set to "No".
NOTE: This indicator may not work well with low-count tick bars, such as 10-tick bars,
etc., because the time resolution of the bars may not be high enough for each bar to
have a distinct time stamp.
