Showing indicators to the right of current time.

Is there any way to draw lines into the future?

I tried using DrawLine() in my indicator with little success.

For example, what would I do if I it was currently 1:15pm, the bar had just closed and I wanted to draw a line at the high of that bar that lasts for the next 10 bars.

As mentioned above, I tried:

DrawLine("my line" + CurrentBar, false, 0, High[0], -10, High[0], Color.Red, DashStyle.DashDot, 2);

but it doesn't seem to want to work.

Thanks in advance.

Hello 8DTK8,

You would have to use an overload that supports date / time rather than bars. This is available in NT7 only.

DrawLine(string tag, bool autoScale, DateTime startTime, double startY, DateTime endTime, double endY, Color color, DashStyle dashStyle, int width)

See below for a couple recent discussions on this:

You may also consider drawing Rays instead.

This is what I ended up doing and it is serving my purpose well enough.

Thank you.
