Adding Lines to indicator?

[Karado58]

Greetings,

2 Question on adding lines to an existing indicator.

For example, an existing Stochastic indicator:

I want to add multiple lines with the option to change the color, style, value and width?

I want to add a specific range within the Stochastic indicator and have that range in a color. I would like the option change the opacity, color, style, value and width?

What code would do this, and where would it be inserted?

Thank you.

Hello Joseph,

You can start by creating a new indicator with the original code from another indicator. To do this go the Control Center -> Tools -> Edit NinjaScript -> Indicators. Then double left click on the indicator that you want to have the original code from for example the "Stochastics". It will then open up the source code for the indicator. Right click inside the window and select Save As. Type in a name of your choosing then press "Save". Press the "OK" button. Now you have a new indicator based off the system indicator code that you can modify to add more lines.

Here is a link to our Help Guide that goes over the DrawLine() method inside of NinjaScript where you can cutomize the color, style, value, and width of a line.

You can create condition(s) to change the color, style, value, and width of your line, but opacity the DrawLine() method does not have.

Let us know if we can be of further assistance.
