Plotting closing price

[gerald560]

I have a set of conditions which when triggered right now plot arrows, what I would like it to do is plot the closing price of the bar as well how can i modify this line to do that...

if (Open[0]<=Close[0])
DrawArrowDown("tag_"+CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, High[0]+2*TickSize, Color.Red);
else
DrawArrowUp("tag_"+CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, Low[0]-2*TickSize, Color.Blue);

Thank you

Hello,

I do not fully understand what your after if you want to just plot the arrow (either up or down) at the close price then you would simply change this parameter from:

DrawArrowDown("tag_"+CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, High[0]+2*TickSize, Color.Red);

to:

DrawArrowDown("tag_"+CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, Close[0], Color.Red);

Hi Brett, I want to plot the arrow + the closing price of the bar

[NinjaTrader_Brett]

So a text that shows the closing price of the bar or just simply the arrow AT the close price of the bar.

If its the later then the code sample I sent should get the job done.

No Its the first I would like the closing price as a txt as well

Understood, in that case you would do this:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/drawtext.htm

DrawText("ClosePrice" + CurrentBar, Close[0].ToString(), 0, Low[0]-4*TickSize, Color.Black);

This places the text below the low of the bar 4 ticks.

Perfect, thank you... one last thing if I wanted to change the font to make it bigger ... the arrow and the txt how would i do that?

[NinjaTrader_Brett]

In that case you would need to specify a font which gets a little more complicated.

Put this in your variables section.

Font font = new Font("Times New Roman", 12.0f);

Then user this.

DrawText("CloseBarText" + CurrentBar, true, Close[0].ToString(), 0, Low[0]-4*TickSize, 0, Color.Black, font, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Black, Color.Transparent, 0)

The arrows are a set size however so no way to increase these.
