Draw Chart Market from an indicator plotting behind Candles

[SARdynamite]

Hello,

I added Chart Markers within an indicator. In this case, TriangleUp.

I used this line

DrawTriangleUp("Sqrteeze long"+CurrentBar.ToString(),true,0,Open[0],Color.Orange);

Alas, when displaying on the chart, the diamonds appear behind the candles/bar types.
Which means if the diamond is behind the wick, I can partially see it, but when it's behind the corpse of the candle, I don't see it anymore.

Is there a way to correct this ? Because like this, it is useless.

Thank you

Needless to say, if Chart Markers are added manually (right click ==> Drawing Tools), they appear in front of candles, contrary to when coded within an indicator.

Hello,

Are you using NinjaTrader 6.5 or NinjaTrader 7?

I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello,

I'm using NT7 beta 18

[NinjaTrader_Brett]

Hello,


In this case, please left click on the indicator to select it then hold down shift and scroll your mouse wheel to bring this to the top of the candles. This is new to NT7 to allow you to choose the Z axis.

Thanks for the tip.

However, is there a way to code the Z-index inside the indicator.

Because inside this indicator I also have lines which I want to plot normally (behind candles) but I see the whole indicator is linked to the same z-control feature.

Hello,

There is no way to specify manually.

However you can set it to be on a different Z order then the indicator. Thus providing the about the same functionality of NinjaTrader 6.5 in that regard. The parameter is
SeparateZOrder set this to True.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thank you

It would be nice if you could forward this idea to the development team : set the Z-order individually for each itme inside a NinjaScript

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestion. I will forward to development.

Have a great weekend.

[SARdynamite]

Sorry ! Just before the weekend

foreach (IDrawObject draw in DrawObjects) draw.SeparateZOrder=true;

is that line only to use different Zorders for DrawObjects only ?

my indicator has :
- one plot as a line
- one DrawObject as a TriangleUp

Can I separate their Zorder or is it not possible because one is a plot and the other one a drawObject ???

[NinjaTrader_Brett]

Hello,


No problem.


The plot Z order will be the indicator Z order. The line of code you just submitted will only seperate the Z Order of the drawing objects on the chart and this looks correct.

Hello !

So the code like that should allow me to set separatatly the ZOrder of the indicator on the chart (plot lines + draw object) and THEN, set a different ZOrder for the draw object ? (so that plot lines and draw Objects are separated)

How do I set the ZOrder for the whole indicator and after that for the Draw Objects only ?

For now, both are still linked to my eyes... can't make it work.

Thank you

Hello,

I will have someone reply to you on Monday. Thank you for your patience.

SARdynamite, unfortunately there is not yet a way to set the Z-order by code. It is on our feedback list though, so it could appear in NinjaTrader at some point in the future.
