Horizontal line in indicator panel form strategy

[allalit]

Good day,

I tried to write a strategy based on one of indicators. From ninjascript i add this indicator to the chart in different panel from price data. Now i need to draw a horizontal line in indicator panel. How can i do this directly from script of the strategy?

i tried to use drawhorizontalline() but it works only in price panel, but i need to draw in indicator panel.

Thank you for any help.

Welcome to our forums - you can set DrawOnPricePanel to false in the Initialize() to draw in the indicator panel - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...pricepanel.htm

You would need to do this though directly in the indicator.

So there is no way to do it from the strategy?

That's unfortunately correct, no with the default Draw methods. You could draw within the indicator itself and then expose any signal info to be used in the strategy for example for triggering trades.

A little trick

It's possible to create for instance an empty (i.e. zero based) series in the indicator and then set the actual value in the strategy like this:

myindicator.Plot2.Set(strategySeries[0]);

All you have to do is to create additional placeholder plots in your indicator. Then from your strategy you can set those plots to values calculated/taken from your strategy.
