DrawHorizontalLine

[rmaron]

Hi,

In my strategy, I would like to draw an horizontal line on the price chart (10 cents below the current price). This line should move as the price moves.

I tried to use the DrawHorizontalLine method. However, when I open a chart, the strategy seems to work, but the line is not displayed.
Any suggestions why the line is not displayed?

Notes:
1. I am connected to the simulated data feed while running the strategy.
2. When right clicking on the chart, the strategy option is grayed out. I'm not sure whether it has anything to do with that option.

Please assist.

Hi Ron, which DrawHorizontalLine call are you exactly using here? Was the strategy started from a chart or from the strategies tab?

Hi Bertrand

1. I use the DrawHorizontalLine method:
DrawHorizontalLine("LineHOrizental", stopPrice , Color.Red);
Where stopPrice is a number I set 10 cents below the current price.
2. The strategy was started from the strategy tab.

Can you please run this script then from the chart directly instead? If you started it from the tab only it would not be visualized, this is just a very efficient mode for trading the signals generated then.

Isn't there any way to draw on a price chart when starting a strategy from the "strategy tab"?

Ron, unfortunately that's not possible as those are not visualized - they are not tied to any chart object.
