Draw Line with Label

[ivb73077]

Hello,

I actually have two questions about Draw objects:

1. Is it possible to draw a line segment over the right-most N bars of the chart so that is continually moves as the day progresses? For example, I want to draw a line at a price of 45.50 such that it displays over the last 10 bars, but continues to be extended as the trading day passes.

My thought for doing this was to use the DrawLine method and, at every bar, remove and redraw the Draw object. This seems inefficient and I wondered if there was a better way.

2. Can a label or text box be added to the line above so that it always appears at the right-most edge of the Line object?

Thank you.

Hello ivb73077,

Thank you for your inquiry.

1. You would be able to call the DrawLine() method call with the same tag and it will modify the previous line for you with your new parameters.

2. You can use the DrawText() method call to draw text at a particular point specified. What you could do is access the line in the DrawObjects collection and access its parameters for use in your DrawText() as well.

Please take a look at these links to the NinjaTrader help guide for more information about DrawText() and DrawObjects: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG.../?drawtext.htm
