Add(new Line with input parameters

[Beauregard]

Hello
I have an indicator where I want to draw a line based on input parameters:
Add(new Line(Color.Green, InputVariable, "MyLine"));

The Add command can only be called in the initialize function. But it ignores the input values, it always takes the default values. Seems that initialization is executed first and then user input is read.
Why? Seems quite strange.

thanks

Hello Beauregard,

Lines added with the new line in Initialize() are not meant to be dynamic.

If you want have lines be dynamic with a user defined input parameter, they will need to be setup as either a horizontal lines with DrawHorizontalLine(), or by setting a plot value to the input, like is done with the ConstantLines indicator that comes preloaded inside of NinjaTrader.

thanks for the fast answer.
I have done it now with DrawHorizontalLine in the OnBarUpdate() method.
The problem now: I have a chart and in panel 1 and in panel 2 the indicator values. The DrawHorizontalLine is done in the panel 1, but I want it in panel 2. I could not find any method to define this?

Hello Beauregard,

You will want to set the DrawOnPricePanel to false inside of Initialize().
