Automatically Plotting Ray

[Trend Methods]

I would like to know how to automatically have a ray plotted from the close of one bar to the next.

For example, I want the ray to start plotting at the close of a bar at 9 AM the previous day to the close of 9 AM on the current day.

Hi Trend Methods,

Thanks for your post.

Are you wanting this on a Daily chart (close of one bar to the next) or are you wanting this to span a minute chart from the one bar to another specified bar?

Are you wanting this ray to draw after a 9:00 bar is drawn from the previous 9:00 bar to the current 9:00 bar or are you wanting this to continuously update from 9:00 the previous day to the current bar?

Are you wanting this ray to be drawn multiple times or are you wanting the ray to be moved to the new location once there is a new 9:00 bar?

To draw a ray you will need to use DrawRay(). Below is a link to the help guide on DrawRay().
http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...t7/drawray.htm

For example:

DateTime barDateTime = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Day, 9, 0, 0);
if (Time[CurrentBar-Bars.GetBar(barDateTime.AddDays(-1))] == barDateTime || ToTime(Time[CurrentBar-Bars.GetBar(barDateTime.AddDays(-1))]) != ToTime(barDateTime))
return;

if (Time[0] == barDateTime)
DrawRay("ray", false, barDateTime.AddDays(-1), Close[CurrentBar-Bars.GetBar(barDateTime.AddDays(-1))], Time[0], Close[0], Color.Blue, DashStyle.Solid, 3);

This code would draw one line from yesterday's 9:00 AM bar to today's 9:00 AM bar.
