how to set dynamic value for Line?

[Turtle Trader]

Hello,

In Initialize I have...

Add(new Line(Color.Black, AlertLevel, "Line"));

How can I dynamically change where the Line is plotted, based on a new value of AlertLevel (that would occur during an OnBarUpdate)?

I do not have the correct value of AlertLevel at Initialize time.

thank you

Hello,

You an use Lines which is similar to Values in NinjaScript.

Here is the syntax:

Lines[0].Value = 200;

Also one note about Lines, if the value of the price is 1000, and my Line is 100, I would not see the line because these do not autoscale. So please keep this in mind if you do not see the line, look at the charts Price opposed to the Lines value and see that value is on the chart or not.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

You probably should use the DrawLine() method, instead of a static line in Initialize().

You can also add a simple plot and select the PlotStyle HLine. This has the advantage to allow you to understand where your line was historically plotted, when you scroll back your chart horizontally.
