Enums, and plotting candles, in Ninjatrader 8

[Ricam]

How does the syntax for Enums change from NT7 to NT8?
Reference sample would be great.

Likewise a reference sample would be great for Render code to draw candles from four dataseries that represent the High, Low, Open and Close of some series other than the price of an instrument.

Thanks.

Hi Ricam,

The syntax for enums is the same.

An example can be found in the references.

With rendering, this is done with x and y coordinates on the chart. You can get x and y coordinates from a bar index or from a price (as a double) which can be returned by any data series element.

Can you clarify what you want to see in the example? Would you like a line that draws from the high to the low of the bar?

Clarifying request for sample Render code to draw candles.

Thanks for rapid response about Enums.

Re reference sample for drawing candle-like objects, for each bar of the master instrument, draw, and fill with color, a rectangle between the values of the open and close dataseries, and line segments between the values of the open and close, and the values of the high and the low dataseries..

These would look exactly the same as price candles. However, the four dataseries open, close, high and low would be indicator output, not price data. An example of this would be cumulative delta.

Know how to do it in Plot method of NT7 (attached) but now the syntax is completely different for OnRender.

Hi Ricam,

Attached is the sample you have requested.

Also, I used the VolumeZones indicator for most of the code here. This would be a great indicator to examine.

thanks so much

This is a big help, appreciate it.
