    How do I set owner when calling a drawing tool from an indicator?

    I have a custom indicator that I would like to draw a fibonacci retracement from when certain conditions are met.

    I have tried using the "this" from the indicator, but the fibonacci code is expecting it to be a drawing tool calling it. How do I set this value?
    Draw.FibonacciRetracements(this, "zot", false, BarTimeToFib, yHigh, BarTimeToFib, yLow, false, "default");

    Thanks!

    Hello robbsadler,

    Using 'this' would be correct. 'this' would refer to the indicator class instance that is calling the drawing object and should be the owner of that object.

    Unfortunately, a drawing tool cannot call another drawing tool. Only an indicator or strategy can call a drawing tool.

    From the help guide example:
    "Draw.FibonacciRetracements(this, "tag1", true, 10, Low[10], 0, High[0]);"
    Draw.FibonacciRetracements(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY)


    If you are getting an error message you would like assistance with, please provide the full error message.
