reading a file & drawing a region

[pman777]

hello ... i have 2 questions:

1) can you direct me to a resource that will explain how I can read an external file. I need to read a series of numbers that are support/resistance levels

2) i want to draw a support/resistance zone (unig the DrawRegion command) that displays up through the most current bar that is being formed. Since I'm running with CalculateOnBarClose = true so as not waste CPU cycles calculating at every tick, my region stops at the preceding (completed) bar. I want it to stop at the most current (incomplete) bar.

thanks!

Hello pman777,

Thank you for your post.

1. You can find an example of how to read from an external file at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3476

2. The only method to have the drawing method stop on the current bar is to set the calculations to CalculateOnBarClose = False.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
