EasyLanguage to NinjaScript

[RobinT]

I can use Print ( DrawObjects["TL11"].DrawType.ToString() ) ;
ok,
but how do I get the other parameters from just the tag ?

[RobinT]

What I am trying to do is change the color and style of my lines from the tags only, TL10 - TL99

Hello RobinT,

Thank you for your patience.

I am looking for a Horizontal line from a start point and extends right as time progresses. I can use:

Drawline (

and set the endtime to DateTime.Now on every bar

is there a way of using DrawExtendedLine ( and have it not extend left as I dont want that.

would I be correct in thinking a Ray does what I want and when I am finished with the line I can convert it into a Drawline (). It says a ray extend in one direction, but it doesn't say which direction.

I would not use DrawExtendedLine or DrawRay for this. I am wondering if a simple negative barsAgo value would not be what you are looking for. For example:

DrawLine("tag", 2, Close[0], -2, Close[0], Color.Black);

I have a number of Rays, each with its own unique tag, "TL01", "TL99" etc. Once these are plotted how do I get and change the parameters using the tag. I want to get the Startdate and I want to change the color.

You would need to cycle through the DrawObjects on the chart, please refer to the information at the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...drawobject.htm

also if I have multiple charts, how do I get data from multiple data streams.

Are you asking how to get the drawing objects from multiple charts or the price values from multiple charts? You will need to expand upon your inquiry further so that I may understand.

Where can I find a list of programmable properties like:

HorizontalGridLines = false;

I want to cycle through some (not all) of the objects and I want to know how to get to the object via the tag.

I have a chart with two panels and an instrument in each panel. The indicator gets data from panel 1, how do I get data from panel 2?

That does not help me with the chart parameters like backgound color.

[RobinT]

I am still not getting any data from Tradestation for $ symbols like $spx.x or $vix.x

futures ok.

[RobinT]

Suppose I find my line using:
foreach (IDrawObject draw in DrawObjects )
{
if (draw.DrawType.ToString() == "Ray" & draw.Tag == "TL81" )
{Print (draw.Tag + " " + draw.DrawType ) ; }
}
How do I change the parameters or get them from draw ?

Hello RobinT,

You will use the IObjectName instead. Like IRay: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/iray.htm

BackColor is what you need for the background: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG.../backcolor.htm

You need to review the NinjaScript documentation: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG..._reference.htm

For the TradeStation symbols, can you please confirm you followed the directions at the following link?

yes, esh16 is working fine into ES 03-16 but $spx.x is not working into ^SP500

[RobinT]

It wont let me get the Rays

IRay ray = draw ;

[RobinT]

I can't believe this simple ts app is so difficult.

I draw some lines in the day and at the eod i just want to change their color and style.

have I chosen the wrong platform ?

[RobinT]

I scoured the documentation and I can't see how to get a second dataseries from panel 2. In TS it's data2.

RobinT,

I would try to tackle one item at a time. If you would like to tackle the code first please provide the full .cs file you are using and define what you wish to do in your response.

For the TradeStation symbols please write to platformsupport[at]ninjatrader[dot]com to set up a remote session.

I got mutli instruments working so lets tackle drawing objects

[RobinT]

This is a huge program already, you will never find your way around.

It simply creates a load of Rays with

IRay ray = DrawRay(tl_tag, false, dt_tl, tgtval, DateTime.Now , tgtval, tl_col, DashStyle.Dot , 2) ; }
else
ILine line = DrawLine(tl_tag, false, dt_tl, tgtval, dt_ed , tgtval, tl_col, DashStyle.Dot , 2) ; }

Then it tries to get them later with:

foreach (IDrawObject draw in DrawObjects )
{
if (draw.DrawType.ToString() == "Ray" )
{ //IRay ray = draw ;
Print (date.ToString() + " " + time.ToString() + " " + draw.Tag + " " + draw.DrawType ) ; }
}

but I cant seem to get the parameters into an accessible object. I want to change the color and style.

I have text objects in there as well.
}

RobinT,

You would have to assign a IRay to every Ray you draw and then call them solely by their IRay object name given. You would not set them to IDrawObject.
