Automatically mark Price with horizontal line

[jengland]

Hi All

Bit of a newbie with writing indicators but is there a simple way of marking price at **.00 **.20 **.50 and **.80 automatically? with sound as well would be nice but not fussed!

Any answers in advance are appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hello jengland,

Thank you for your inquiry and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

Just to clarify, are you wishing for a horizontal line to be drawn each time the closing price of your instrument hits the prices of **.00, **.20, **.50, and **.80 and an alert to be made?

Here's a quick example of how to do this below:

private int lineNumber = 1; // just for purposes of differentiating lines and alerts through their tags

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
     if (Close[0].ToString("0.00").Contains(".00") || Close[0].ToString("0.00").Contains(".20") || Close[0].ToString("0.00").Contains(".50") || Close[0].ToString("0.00").Contains(".80"))
     {
          DrawLine("line" + lineNumber, 1,Close[0], -1, Close[0], Color.Blue);
          Alert("alert"+ lineNumber, NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High, "Reached price", "Alert1.wav", 10, Color.Black,Color.Yellow);
          lineNumber++; // increment lineNumber by 1 for a unique tag for each line drawn
     }
}

I would suggest reading through the help guide at this link for a few educational resources on how to program your own strategies and indicators: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG..._resources.htm

The alphabetical reference section in the help guide as well will allow you to look up the various syntax I used and assist with explaining what each does: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG..._reference.htm

The ToString() and Contains() methods are methods that are not unique to NinjaScript, but are a part of C#.

For more information about ToString(), please take a look at this link: http://www.dotnetperls.com/tostring

For more information about Contains(), please take a look at this link: http://www.dotnetperls.com/contains

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