Draw Ray based on time anchor points

[fevs7]

Hi
I am trying to create an IRay object but instead of using bars ago as x-axis points I need to use two time points. I see this could be possible from the help guide.

What I have at the moment is :
IRay ray = DrawRay("lows", time1, price1,time2, price2,Color.LimeGreen);

For argument 2 and 4 it gives me the following error:

"cannot convert from 'System.DateTime' to 'int'"

so it looks like it is still looking for the bars ago.

Could you perhaps let me know what tweaks I need to make to get it to work?

Thanks very much in advance

Hello fevs7,

The syntax for the DrawRay that takes DateTime anchor points, takes 9 parameters.

You should use the following syntax, passing values for all parameters below.

DrawRay(string tag, bool autoScale, DateTime anchor1Time, double anchor1Y, DateTime anchor2Time, double anchor2Y, Color color, DashStyle dashStyle, intwidth)

You are passing 6 parameters, which would use the syntax that takes barsago for anchor points. You would need to add, bool autoScale, DashStyle dashStyle, and intwidth to your DrawRay method.

See DrawRay section of our helpguide,

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
