Alerts on Lines

[Zeos6]

Hi,
Is it possible to attach an alert to a line? Yes, I know it can be programmed and I can do this but I wanted to know if this is already built into NT7 and I am missing something. Please let me know. Thank you.

Is it possible to modify the existing built-in line tool to add an alert?
Or, how can I build a custom line tool with alerts and link it inot NT7?
Any info would be gretaly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Zeos,

This is only available with custom programming, by exposing drawing objects properties using IDrawObject:

Thanks Ryan. I neeed a little bit more.What part are you answering? Are you saying I can create a custom line tool with alerts using the IDraw object? So would I create an indicator code that exposes the property desired and run it on the chart?

This will be in an indicator or strategy script. You're not creating a new drawing object tool, but rather using NinjaScript to expose properties related to drawing objects. They're identified by the tag, so these can be code placed and manually placed objects.

To see examples and what properties you can expose, use the IDraw page for the specific object you plan to work with.

Thanks Ryan. What is the IDraw object for line. I find horizontal line, vertical line extended line but not line.

Line is Iline.
