arrowRight

The arrowRight method places a right-pointing arrow marker at a specific bar and price. It’s useful for marking continuation signals, future expectations, or simply highlighting a zone on the chart with a forward arrow.

Syntax (one line)

arrowRight(time, price, styles?, text?)

Parameters

time (number) · Candle time where the arrow is placed (e.g., time(0) for current bar). price (number) · Price level where the arrow points (e.g., closeC(0)). styles (ArrowMarkLineToolOverrides) · Look & label options for the marker.

• arrowColor (RGBAColor | BaseColors) · Arrow color (e.g., color.orange).

• bold (boolean) · Make label text bold.

• color (RGBAColor | BaseColors) · Label text color.

• fontsize (number) · Label font size.

• italic (boolean) · Make label text italic.

• showLabel (boolean) · Show/hide the label text. text (string) · Optional short label shown near the arrow (e.g., "Breakout").

Return Value

(string) · The drawing ID of the created arrow marker.

Example

What this does: Every 50 candles, it places an orange right arrow at the current bar close, with a label.

//@version=1
init = () => {
  indicator({ onMainPanel: true, format: 'inherit' });
};

onTick = () => {
  if (index % 50 === 0) { // draw occasionally to keep charts clean
    // 1) Define style once (ArrowMarkLineToolOverrides)
    const style = {
      arrowColor: color.orange,
      color: color.black,
      fontsize: 12,
      bold: true,
      italic: false,
      showLabel: true
    };

    // 2) Place the arrow
    arrowRight(time(0), closeC(0), style, "Next move");
  }
};

Tips

• Use right arrows to point out future projections or expected continuations.

• Pair them with notes/labels to clearly state your hypothesis.

Warning

• Too many arrows pointing forward can confuse the chart — keep them for the most relevant signals.

Good Practice

• Stick to consistent colors (e.g., orange for projections, green for bullish, red for bearish) to make reading easier.
