Custom graphic object

[seahn]

I would like to create an indicator which draws a graphic object on the chart. Specifically, I want two rectangles (boxes) joined together as one object, one box representing distance to a price target the other a stop projection on the chart. The graphic should be able to be dragged around using the mouse so I can overlay it on the current price and see if targets/stops fit into the price action. It should resize/move when the price axis changes. My questions are:

1. Is something like this technically possible?

2. If it is possible is there any code avaliable to give some general guidance so I don't have to reinvent the wheel?

Thanks

P.S. I think something like this would be very useful to many traders. It would be nice if it was included as a standard drawing tool in NinjaTrader, Hint, Hint....

seahn, thanks for the post and feedback. Creating a custom drawing object would not be possible currently unfortunately, but we do run an enhancement suggestion on our tracking lists in this regard, I will make sure your vote is considered.

Unlock the DrawObject after you create it.

IRectangle seahnRect = DrawRectangle(...);
seahnRect.Locked = false;
