How do I constrain a Rectangle to a given timeframe?

[RobVig]

We have a Strategy that Draws Rectangles using DrawRectangle() on Swings. The Rectangles main purpose is to be used on a Weekly Chart. However, when we switch to a Daily Chart the Rectangles change from the Weekly Timeframe to the Daily Timeframe. How can I constrain the Rectangles to the Weekly even when the Daily Chart is being displayed?

Thanks for anything!

Hello RobVig,

Thank you for your post.

The drawing objects will draw based on the indicator's input series. If the input series is changed the objects will change as well as the indicator is reloaded onto the new Input Series.

There would not be a means to draw on a prior Input Series. If you are trying to have objects from another series draw on another series chart you may consider running with multiple series in your script and using the DateTime of the secondary series for the DateTime of the draw objects. Or you could look into using custom plotting.

For information on multiple series in your code please visit the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...nstruments.htm

For information on custom plotting please go to Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Indicator > CustomPlotSample.
