Increase Triangle size

[Prov1322]

The following is a section of code for a DownTriangle and its alert (there is also an exact duplicate for an UpTriangle)...is there a parameter to increase the size of the Triangle shown on the Chart?

Thanks in advance!

{	

if(CrossBelow(average, 0, 1) && eco[0] < average[0] && triangleDn == 0 || CrossAbove(average, eco, 1) && average[0] < 0 && triangleDn == 0)	
{DrawTriangleDown("EcoDT", true, 0, 0, Color.Transparent);
if (alerts == true)					
Alert("DnTrend",NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.Medium,"Dn Trend Pending","Drip.wav",6,Color.Black,Color.Yellow);	
edownbar = CurrentBar;
edownplot = 1;}
	
if(edownplot == 1 && CurrentBar == edownbar + 1)
{RemoveDrawObject("EcoDT");
edownplot = 0;
if(eco[1] < average[1] && average[1] < 0 && triangleDn == 0)
{DrawTriangleDown(CurrentBar.ToString() + "EcoDTSolid", true, 1, 0, Color.Red);
	if(eco[1] > eco[2] || average[1] > average[2])
		DrawTriangleDown(CurrentBar.ToString() + "EcoDTSolidDark", true, 1, 0, Color.LightSalmon);
triangleDn = 1;
if (alerts == true)					
Alert("DnTrendFinal",NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.Medium,"Dn Trend","Alert2.wav",6,Color.Black,Color.Yellow);}
}

Prov1332,

Unfortunately there is no current way to change the size of triangles.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Yikes, but thanks AdamP.

Any possibility that the coders could include that in the future?

Prov1322,

I will make the suggestion to them on your behalf.

Thanks for the suggestion, and please let me know if I may assist further.

AdamP...with that same snippet of code could I change it to a graphic that would be sizeable?

If so, which? For example, Dot, Diamond, Arrow?

Thanks!

Prov1322,

I am happy to assist you.

You can use DrawRectangle(), DrawEllipse() or DrawTriangle().

Apologies, I should have given you the DrawTriangle() link before, as the DrawTriangleUp() and DrawTriangleDown() use this method as their parent function. For some reason I was thinking of DrawArrowUp()/DrawArrowDown() which cannot be resized.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Use DrawText() instead with a Symbol, Dingbat or Wingdings font. Text objects are near infinitely resizeable, and to boot, also capable of being placed with pixel-level precision.
