Drawline(Price/bar, Time)

[jackomulligan]

Hello,

In a NinjaTrader 7 script, I want to use DrawLine starting with a condition on a bar, eg Close[0] > priordayClose and ending the line eg at 15:30 time.

I searched the forum and could not find a solution.

Thank you

Hello jackomulligan,

Thank you for your patience and welcome to the forum.

You will get the prior day close with PriorDayOHLC():

double value = PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0];

More on PriorDayOHLC():

Then you will use DrawLine() to draw the line based on the data:

For example:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if (ToTime(Time[0]) < ToTime(15, 30, 0)
				&& Close[0] > PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0])
			{
				DateTime endTime = new DateTime(Time[0].Year, Time[0].Month, Time[0].Day, 15, 30, 0);
				DrawLine(Time[0].Date.ToString(), true, Time[0], Close[0], endTime, Close[0], Color.LimeGreen, DashStyle.Solid, 3);
			}
        }

This will draw a line from the current day's bar when it closes above the prior day close and then to the current day's 3:30 pm.

If there is anything else I may assist with please let me know.
