DrawHorizontalLine/Autoscale

[hemlock]

It appears that autoscale is always set to true when drawing a horizontal line even if false is specified...

I am not getting the behavior you described. I get a line drawn at Close[0] which is expected. As I scroll back the line does not stay in view because AutoScale = false.

[hemlock]

That's odd. It may have something to do with the 'default' for manually drawn lines. Try setting the default to autoscale=true for a manually drawn horz line and then try the script again.

hemlock,

No difference. Manually draw lines should not influence your code. Please ensure you have no other indicators/draw objects on the chart that may give the illusion your line is on AutoScale = true when set to false.

Josh,

Hmmm, not true here.

Preparation:
1. Close and restart NinjaTrader version 6.5.1000.9.
2. Close all NT windows except Control Center.
3. Connect to Interactive Brokers.

Test #1:
1. Open ES 5 minute chart using default template (price bars and VOL only)
2. Press F6 to manually draw horizontal line.
3. Double click on horizontal line to edit properties.
4. Turn autoscale ON, click apply, click "set default".
5. Delete manually drawn line.
6. Add indicator kpTest3 (see attached).
7. Double click on script generated horizontal line. Autoscale is set to true (should not be).
8. Close chart.

Test #2:
1. Open ES 5 minute chart using default template (price bars and VOL only)
2. Press F6 to manually draw horizontal line.
3. Double click on horizontal line to edit properties.
4. Turn autoscale OFF, click "apply", click "set default".
5. Delete manually drawn line.
6. Add indicator kpTest3 (see attached).
7. Double click on script generated horizontal line. Autoscale is set to false (correct).
8. Close chart.
