New Programmer, Plotting highs and lows

[GKonheiser]

I an new to coding and looking for the best way to plot highs and lows on an intraday chart.

Is something like this OK


if (HighestBar(DefaultInput, 30))
{
DrawDot("My dot" + CurrentBar, false, 0, 0, Color.Blue);
}


Thanks for any help.

Hello,

The code here is not incorrect but it might not be exactly what you want.

The above will take the default input (typically this will be the closing price unless modified by the user) and find the largest value over the pats 30 bars. When it finds this it will draw a dot. Currently you're drawing dots at 0 on the Y axis so you'll likely want to change this so that it shows in the visible region.

I think you'll also find that there are indicators out there that might already do what you're looking for.

This isn't the best indicator to start out with if you're just learning but consider taking a look at the CurrentDayOHL indicator that comes installed with NinjaTrader (tools -> edit NinjaScript -> indicator -> CurrentDayOHL)

We also have classes for learning NinjaScript here: http://www.ninjatrader.com/PremiumEducation.php
If you have questions about these classes please send them into suppor at ninjatrader dot com

Let me know if I can further assist.
