Draw with Strategy

[mbk2787]

Hi folks,

I added a DrawVerticalLine method into my custom strategy but it works only in backtest mode.

If I launch the strategy in simulation mode I don't see the lines in the live data chart.

How can I show my custom lines in the live data chart?

Thanks,
Marco

Hello,
The DrawVerticalLine() method should work in backtesting and with live data.
Can you provide a code snippet showing your use with this method?
I look forward to your reply.

Hi Cody,

I simply created a strategy like this:

        /// <summary>
        /// This method is used to configure the strategy and is called once before any strategy method is called.
        /// </summary>
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            CalculateOnBarClose = true;
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			DrawVerticalLine(Time[0].ToString(), 0, Color.Blue);
        }

In backtest it works properly, but in realtime chart no line are drawn.

Thanks

Hello,
I have tested that snippet on my end and I see vertical lines drawn on every bar which would be expected.
I will need to view your whole condition for drawing the vertical lines to assist further.
If you are not comfortable with sharing the code on the forum feel free to send an email to platformsupport[AT]ninjatrader[DOT]com with ATTN: Cody and the code snippet with the condition or the full strategy attached.
