Hello Marten,
Thanks for writing in and I am happy to assist you.

To assist you further can you tell me:

1. Are you drawing a horizontal line?
2. What is the refernce bar which you are taking to draw the line?

I look forward to assisting you further.

I want to draw horizontal lines every 50 points between 1000 and 2000 points and vertical lines every 10th bar.

I know, that I can change background color for making vertical line, but it makes line too thick.

Hello Martin,

To draw Horizontal line at an increment of 50 points please use this code. Also please note I have placed it in the OnStartUp event instead of OnBarUpdate

protected override void OnStartUp()
{
       for (int i = 1000; i <= 2000; i+= 50)
	{	
		this.DrawHorizontalLine("h" + i.ToString(), i, Color.Green);
	}
}

To draw the Vertical line please use the below code

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
	if (CurrentBar % 10 == 0) this.DrawVerticalLine("v"+ CurrentBar, 0, Color.Blue, DashStyle.Solid, 1);
}

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

Thanks Joydeep for your response, but this is not answer for my first question.

I don't want to draw lines over bars. Look at the attached picture.

Hello Marten,
Can you be more specific on how exactly your Y axis value will be.

From the screenshot I can see the line is cutting through the bars. Which bar you are referencing too.

I look forward to assisting you further.

NT JD- he's talking about z order

Hello Sledge,
Thanks.

@ Marten,
You can change the ZOrder by Pressing Shift + Mouse scroll. Please refer to the section "How to change the zorder (paint order) of a chart object" from here to know more about it

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

Yes, ZOrder is what I want!

So my problem is solved by:

protected override void Initialize()
{
    ZOrder = -1;
}

Thanks guys!

thank.

Im not finding a left side margin width setting anywhere?

[NinjaTrader_Joydeep]

Hello laredo78676,
Unfortunately you cannot set the Y axis margin width. If you dont want the left axis then simply set the scale justification to Overlay.

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