can I draw text using private SimpleFont stpFont = new Gui.Tools.SimpleFont("Wingdings", 20);

Draw.Text(this, stopID, false, "l", i, y, 0, this.longBrush, stpFont, TextAlignment.Center, this.longBrush, this.outlineBrush, 50);

but without the border i.e. just a dot?

Hello dibDab,

Thank you for writing in.

The method overload you are using requires a Brush outlineBrush - this may be set to Brushes.Transparent if you would like the outline/border to be invisible. This would remove the border around the dot. For more information, please see the help guide section for Draw.Text here:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/draw_text.htm

Another option would be to use the Draw.Dot draw method rather than Draw.Text, although that would be up to your preference. Here is the Draw.Dot help guide page:

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

what's the best way to get smaller dots?

[Tasker-182]

You can add the ChartMarkersPlus tools to your NinjaTrader. This will provide a duplicate set of chart markers (square triangle, arrow, dot, etc.) that provide the ability to resize them up or down an to turn off the outline.

Hello dibDab,

Thank you for your reply.

As noted in the help guide, "The size of the dot is tied to the chart's BarWidth and thus will scale automatically as the chart is resized." If you are looking to have a smaller dot, you could try out Tasker-182's suggestion of using the ChartMarkersPlus.

In the description on the download page, it says "To access the NS methods, please use for example DrawPlus.Dotp(... DrawPlus.ArrowUpp(. the intelliprompt will reveal the complete method overload signature available which are almost the same as the standard chart markers except for the DrawobjectSize and OutlineBrush."

These overloads allow a value for DrawobjectSize and might be able to fit your needs.

Note — To import NinjaScripts you will need the original .zip file.

To Import:

1. Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'

Once installed, you may add the indicator to a chart by:

• Right-click your chart > Indicators... > Select the Indicator from the 'Available' list on the left > Add > OK

Here is a short video demonstration of the import process:

• Install a 3rd Party Indicator or App
