Plot Line every X number of pips

[matkiefer]

I'm trying to write a simple indicator that plots a line every [user defined] number of pips. Is there some sort of way to write them dynamically without having to define each line in the code? Thanks

Hello matkiefer,
Welcome to the forum and I am happy to assist you

You can achieve the same without any programming by simply setting the Horizontal grid line property accordingly.

• Double click on the Y-Axix (or right click on the Y Axix, and select properties).
• Set the field “Horizontal grid line interval value” as desired
• Click Ok.

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

Well yeah

I basically am going to want to calculate these lines real time, instead of filling up the chart with a lot of lines. Like at bar open one line that is 5 pips below that bar, open line 5 pips above, and then when I get a break above close above, it plots a new line, and takes the last line off.

I know how to do this is if wrote every pip in individually but I don't know how to do it dynamically.

Hello matkiefer,
Thanks for the input.

For static lines you can refer to the ConstantLine indicator which comes with NinjaTrader.

Unfortunately you cannot add Plot dynamically. However you can use the DrawLine or preferably, DrawHorizontalLine function to add lines dynamically.
