Drawing Dot at Avg Price

[MBAGearhead]

In the OnBarUpdate() section, I have this code:

if (Position.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat)
DrawDot("", true, 0, Position.AvgPrice, Color.Red);

Since I'm calculating on bar close, shouldn't this place a series of dots at my average price on my chart (1 dot per bar) anytime I'm in a position? I scale in several times so I want to visually see where my net price is.

Currently I get 1 red dot on my chart for the very last position but nothing on the previous positions. Any advice please? Is there a better way to accomplish this?

Thanks.

MBAGearhead,

You need to change the string you have at the beginning to something like CurrentBar. The reason you aren't getting more dots is because you that string is the "Tag" which identifies the drawing object uniquely.

DrawDot(CurrentBar, true, 0, Position.AvgPrice, Color.Red);

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Thanks Adam but that line, DrawDot(CurrentBar, true, 0, Position.AvgPrice, Color.Red);
now produces compile errors which says I have some invalid arguments. Arg. 1 cannot convert from 'int' to 'string' and Arg. 3 cannot convert from 'int' to 'System.DateTime'

MBA,

Try,

DrawDot(CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, Position.AvgPrice, Color.Red)

Same Arg.3 error but Arg.1 error now says cannot convert from 'method group' to 'string'

Please make sure the () are at the end of the ToString().

Please familiarize yourself with this help guide entry.

The datetime should not be an issue if you are passing it an integer as the third input as there is an override that exists for taking integers.

CANCEL THAT - I forgot the () after ToString! It works now!! Thanks so much Adam!
