Specific Price Indicator- Horizontal line

[timothymhanna]

Is there an indicator where I can just type in a price I want and it will draw a horizontal line on my chart and possibly have a sound alert that that price was touched? I plan on having about 5 price levels / lines across my chart. I would like the lines to show up on my 100 tick chart and my 5 minute chart.

Thanks for the help!

Hello timothymhanna,

Thank you for your post.

One of the indicators that is available by default in NinjaTrader is the “ConstantLines” indicator. This would allow you to set user-defined horizontal values on the chart.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Is there any way to have these constant lines appear as follows:
Line 1) Previous Days Low
Line 2) Previous Days High
Line 3) Premarket High
Line 4) Premarket Low

Or would I just have to edit the line values every morning before the market opens?

Also, is there any way to have more than 4 line values / increase the # of parameters?

Hello timothymhanna,

You would need to manually adjust the line values with that indicator. If you want more than 4 lines then you can reapply this indicator as many times as you like.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Is there any way to rename the values? Instead of it saying "line 1" in the data box can i have it say something like "premarket low"?

Hello timothymhanna

This particular indicator will require numerical inputs.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

[timothymhanna]

I know. I input the number that I want manually, but can I alter the name of the line from say "line 1" to a name that i prefer? when i press control D it opens up a data box and this data box says line 1, line 2, etc, can i alter those names?

Hello timothymhanna,

You would need to alter the NinjaScript to change these input fields.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

When I try to save what I edit it says "changes will be lost, since you cannot save a system indicator". Please assist.

Hello timothymhanna,

Yes – you will need to save the edited NinjaScript file using a new name. You cannot save over a system indicator.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
