DrawHorizontalLine() problem

[corrado]

Hello!

Could you please tell me how to draw the line in the second panel in the strategy where strategy indicator is?
I use the method below and see no line drawn.
Note, that a simple strategy method call like: DrawHorizontalLine("Trend Up", true, 100, Color.Green, DashStyle.Solid, 2);
draws the line on the strategy chart, but this is not what I need. I need to draw the line on other indicator panels.

Thanks!

protected override void Initialize()
 {
 Add(ROC(EMA(this.period2), this.period1));
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            ROC(EMA(this.period2),  this.period1).DrawHorizontalLine("Trend Up", true,      100,  Color.Green, DashStyle.Solid, 2);
}

Hello Corrado,

You should try using DrawOnPricePanel = false; in your Initialize() method.

DrawHorizontalLine() in strategy

Hello Corrado,

You should try using DrawOnPricePanel = false; in your Initialize() method.

NinjaTrader_RyanM,

No, unfortunately this still doesn't work in the STRATEGY.
Try the code below:

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(ROC(fast));
 ROC(fast).DrawOnPricePanel = false;
 }

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
            ROC(fast).DrawHorizontalLine("Trend Up", true, 70,  Color.Green, DashStyle.Solid, 3);
}

What you'll have to do is draw the horizontal line in your indicator script. Set DrawOnPricePanel = false there. You can assign specific panels for indicators and when that setting is false it will draw on the indicator panel.

Please see strategy plot sample here:

NinjaTrader_RyanM, thanks for trying to help but I think there is a little misunderstanding here.

What I want is just to draw the line in the indicator(s) on other then main chart panel while back testing or optimizing a strategy. Your recommendation still did not provide a graceful solution yet. I realize if i write an indicator myself I can program it to do anything including drawing lines. But I want to use existing indicators, change their properties and run their methods for that goal.
The link you gave me has a limitation of the method not to be used in the strategy back testing, therefore it doesn't work for me.

As far as I can tell the level of plot control you're looking for is not available with a strategy. I will have someone review this thread and get back to you Monday in case I'm overlooking something.

NinjaTrader_RyanM, Thank you.

Corrado, as Ryan pointed out, you would need to set this in the called indicator's Initialize() method.
