These tools seems to be identical to the default NT drawing tool Region Highlight Y. What is the benefit or different here for users to download?

Hello aligator,

I am using this for a brush color picker work around, It takes many clicks of a button to change the color of a line. This allows you to have separate tools with different color properties. I like to have 2 colors, one for resistance, one for support. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Cheers!

Hi - I'm trying to adapt your tool, but am new to NT scripting. Do you know how I can limit the S/R box to a specific day (e.g., 12:00am to 11:59pm)? Also, if I could prompt the user to input a text description, that would be helpful. I'll see if I can modify your code, but if you have any tips, that would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi,

You can easily draw a rectangle of any length instead to show your S/R without cluttering your chart with long lines.

Hi - yes, I can use the manual drawing tool, but I am doing testing where I need to add multiple R/S zones for a day and manually drawing and setting the parameters for 6-7 zones each day is time consuming. If I could use a tool like this which would then prompt for Max/Min and automatically set time to be the full day (based on the user clicks), this would be a substantial time saving tool for me. Also, the ability to add text would be very helpful.

Hello john_44573,

If you are new to C#, to get a basic foundation for the concepts and syntax used in NinjaScript I would recommend this section of support articles first:
Basic Programming Concepts

I'm also providing a link to a support article with further helpful resources on getting started with C# and NinjaScript.

You could create your own custom indicator that calls these custom drawing methods, and uses time filters to limit when the drawing are made.

We have a sample script that demonstrates using time filters to limit an action:

You can also use Draw.Text() to draw text on the chart.

You can also create your own user defined string input to use for the text.

You can also contact a professional NinjaScript Consultant who would be eager to create or modify this script at your request or assist you with your script. The NinjaTrader Ecosystem has affiliate contacts who provide educational as well as consulting services.
