Extending a Line forward

[velocity]

I am trying to get NT to extend a line on the high of a current bar to go 3 bars to the right at the same price. My code is

DrawLine("MyLine"+CurrentBar, 1, High[0], 0, High[0], Color.Blue, DashStyle.Dot, 4);

This will only draw a line on the current bar and not the future 3 bars at the same price.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

thanks

Future bar drawing is currently not available in the sense that you cannot draw a line to fill the place of where the future bars will be plotted into.

What you can do is plot the line for the next 3 bars as the bars become populated though. To achieve this you will need to determine the condition in which you want to draw the line then set a switch that will be active for 3 bars and inside that switch you will draw the line, each time modifying the startBars parameter to match the latest bar.

Here is some untested code

if (Close[0] > Open[0])
     drawLineSet = 1;
while (drawLineSet <= 3)
{
     DrawLine("MyLine", drawLineSet, High[drawLineSet - 1], drawLineSet - 1, High[drawLineSet - 1], Color.Blue, DashStyle.Dot, 4);
     drawLineSet++;
}

Thanks for the suggestion
