Horizontal line that starts at a specific bar/time

[markus3500]

Are there any indicators for drawing a simple horizontal line that start at say 10:50 am? instead of drawing a line that goes for infinity in both directions backwards and forwards in time, I would like one that starts at a specific time and only goes forward from there. If i could right click and add it it would be great.

Thanks

Hello markus3500,

Thanks for opening the thread.

I am not aware of a specific indicator that accomplishes this, but it would not be hard to write an indicator that places a Ray drawing object from the time specified into the future.

I'll include some resources that can point you in the right direction for creating indicators and using DrawRay(), but I should also note that this task could be accomplished by manually placing a Ray drawing object and adjusting its anchors to be at the time specified.

If you are new to creating NinjaScripts, I recommend reviewing the tutorials we have in the NinjaTrader 7 help guide and then referencing the DrawRay() documentation for adding the DrawRay(). You may also wish to get more acquainted with NinjaScripts by using the Strategy Wizard to construct the logic in a strategy.
