Indicator plots line that is not wanted

[Tasker-182]

Hi,

I've written an indicator that puts two text boxes in a panel using drawtextfixed. If I put the indicator in the price panel it seems to work fine. If I put the indicator in its own panel, an orange line is plotted. I have no clue where this plotted line comes from. I have reviewed my code and have no plot calls anywhere.

I have attached an example with the indicator in a separate panel.

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

Does the plot still appear if you remove and re-add the indicator?

Do you have any templates saved in (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\templates\Indicator?

Hi Matthew,

Yes, it reappears when the indicator is removed and then re-added to the chart.

I do have a single template but i don't know why and it appears to be the macrossbuilder.

Thanks

Hello,

Would you able to to post your Initialize() and #region Properties section of the script?

{
Overlay = true;

DrawOnPricePanel = false;
AutoScale = false;
}

[XmlIgnore()] // this line ensures that the indicator can be saved/recovered as part of a chart template, do not remove

set {Math.Max(1, value); }

Thanks - I do not see anything there that would be creating this plot.

In order to determine where this is coming from, I will need to review your entire script. Can you please export it under File--> Utilities--> Export NinjaScript and then upload this script as an attachment.

If you would rather, you can email it to support[at]ninjatrader[dot]com and we can review it privately there as well.

I am curious what the resolution of this issue was found to be. I have seen this behavior before.

There was a Set() method that was drawing this plot.
