How do you draw arrow on top of chart using Plot override

[upshon]

Hi

Does anyone have a sample showing how to draw an arrow (or any other item) alligned to a specific candel at a fixed offset from the bottom or top of the chart by overriding the Plot method.

Thanks

Hi upshon,

Have you already exhausted the use of TickSize?:http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...l?ticksize.htm

Something like High[0] + TickSize

Hi Tim

High[0] + TickSize will not give me what I am after.

I want all the arrows aligned together at top or bottom of chart, High[0] + TickSize will align them relative to the candle not the chart window.

Thanks

Hello,


You would need to use unsupported c# programming achieve this and interact directly with the ChartControl and override the plot method like you mentioned. However the only sample we have on this is the sample you found in the software under Sample Strategy Plot.

The only workaround I could recommend is building an indicator panel that you then keep at the bottom and keep one at the top that you would house these arrows in. You would then just draw the arrow at the zero line. You would need to seprate your logic for the indicator that runs on the bottom and the indicator that runs on the top.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
