Coding the color and dash style of an indicator in a custom strategy

[mbesha]

I am looking for a way I can set the MAX indicator in my custom strategy to be diplayed not only in black but also as dashed ( width 2 ). Could you please advice me on the code I need to use to achieve this because as for now, I am stuck at Add(MAX(High,50));

Welcome to our forums - we have posted a tip in the forums to show how this could be further customized as desired including the dash style - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3228

Still getting errors

Thanks for your reply. I checked out the link you sent me and tried recoding the indicators in the Initialize() section as shown below.

Add(MAX(High,MAXprdlng).Plots[0].Pen.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash);
Add(MAX(High,MAXprdlng).Plots[0].Pen.Color　=　Color.Black);

However, I still got error messages. Could you please tell me what's wrong with the code?

You would not want to include it all into one statement, please try for example in your Strategy Initialize() -

Add(MAX(High,50));
MAX(High, 50).Plots[0].Pen.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash;

It is working now

The advice you gave me worked like a charm, thanks.
