my first custom indicator

[dcaliano2]

I am trying to learn how to code, and tried this just to learn. It gets no errors, but doesn't plot anything. Could someone tell me what I'm missing?

--Thanks,

Hello, thanks for writing in. I do not see any code example or screens shot, could you post this again?

I uploaded this screenshot as an attachment. Do you see it this time?

Hi, thanks for posting that. To draw any drawing tool, you will need to use the proper method. See here for a list of all the draw methods:

Your indicator should look like this to draw a dot on the high price of every bar:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            Draw.Dot(this, "CHART DOT " + CurrentBar, false, 0, High[0], Brushes.Red);
        }​
