Drawline Does Not Work

[doug_p]

Is there some trick to get DrawLine to work? I've tried everyway I can think of and it never shows up on the indicator or price panels.

Hi doug_p, welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

It works well, but please make sure you incorporate this check at the start of your OnBarUpdate() -

[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]if[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2] (CurrentBar < [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]10[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2])
[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]return[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2];[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/SIZE]

The issue here is, you try to access 10 bars back on the first bar of the chart, when no bars are present - this throws an error to your Log tab in the Control Center - 'Error on Calling On Bar Update...'

Can DrawLine Draw Within the Indicator Panel

Thank You Bertrand for your response it helped.

Question can DrawLine draw within the indicator panel or does it only draw within the Price Panel 1? Also if it cannot draw within the an indicator panel how does one draw an object like a line or text within a specific indicator panel?

Thank you for your help.

You are welcome Doug, you can also draw in the indicator panel by setting DrawOnPricePanel to false in your Initialize() - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...ceOnPanel.html

Unfortunately there's no option to specify to which indicator subpanel to draw the object.
