Vanishing horizontal lines

[nlaporte]

Dear all,

On a daily basis, I want to:
1.define a time range using vertical lines + color area
2. define horizontal lines within the time range that are the max/min levels
3. push these two horizontal lines until the end of the same day

I am facing issues on point 1 and 2:
1. the color area stops 1 bar before; how could I fix that?
2. the horizontal bars are only visible for the last day... how come?

Can you help me?
Thank you very much,

Best

Nicolas

Hello nlaporte,
Thanks for your note.

1. If you set Calculate On Bar Close to false from the Initialize section of the code then are you able to Color the running bar. Currently it is set to true.

2. If you add unique lines for each bars then are you able to get the lines for all the bars. Please try modifying your code as below

DrawLine([B]"Highest" + CurrentBar[/B], false, startBarsAgo - endBarsAgo + 1, highestHighCube,0,highestHighCube, Color.Blue,DashStyle.Solid,1);

Hi Joseph,

Spot on for both my questions. Thank you very much.
A last favor, can you explain me a little more the point 2. I dont understand why it works... just adding the "+ CurrentBar" that I was missing?
Best,

Nicolas

Hello,

By adding this NInjaTrader will create a new drawing object for each unique drawing object name. If it is not unique then it will modify the existing Drawing Object. By adding +CurrentBar it makes the value unique on each bar it is called on.

Let me know if any further questions.
