Plotting support and resistance zones

[shildebrand324]

Hi, I'm familiar with how to plot in ninja script, however, I don't see a way to plot, say a larger rectangle for a support or resistance zone. Can you shed some light on this?

Hello shildebrand324,

To draw a rectangle you can use a drawing object or custom rendering using OnRender. If the rectangle needs to span the whole chart then OnRender would be easiest so you don't have to use BarsAgo for a start and end point to the rectangle.

Hi, I'm familiar with Draw.Rectangle, however, seems like there should be a way to plot rectangles/zones, instead of Draw?

Hello shildebrand324,

If you wanted to plot multiple rectangles you would have to draw multiple rectangles with Draw.Rectangle or custom rendering. There is not a plot setting to make a plot draw rectangles.
