Using PriceLevel in Drawing Tool Property

[TheTradingMantis]

I am using the built-in PriceLevel class in a custom Drawing Tool property

[Display(Name = "Long Measure 1", GroupName = "Measured Move Lines", Order = 82)]
public PriceLevel LongMeasure1 { get; set; }

When I open up the Drawing Tool properties it shows the namespace & class name (NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.PriceLevel) next to the property editor.



Is it possible to configure the property so the namespace & class does not show?

Thanks,
Greg

Hello gregschr,

You would need to structure your class similar to the scripts which utilize PriceLevels type which includes adding the inheritance to the class PriceLevelContainer. For example the Fibonacci retracements is created by inheriting from FibonacciLevels which inherits from PriceLevelContainer or the base type that controls the PriceLevels property. If you look in the file PriceLevels.cs you can find PriceLevelContainer class and inside that class is the property "PriceLevels" which you would be using by inheriting PriceLevelContainer on your custom class.

If this is a tool that you plan to export as a compiled assembly keep in mind that inheriting from the existing types in the drawing object folder will not work. In that use case you would need to create your own additional classes with custom names and then copy the various code from PriceLevels.cs into those new classes, essentially duplicate and rename where needed. Your script would then inherit from your custom base class (PriceLevelContainer renamed) which contains the price levels to be used with your tool. You would also need to make sure the custom PriceLevel type renamed points to the renamed PriceLevelTypeConverter that you made in the type converter used on that class.

Hi Jesse, Thanks for the detailed response on how correct this. Also, appreciate the heads up about exporting the compiled assembly!
