Drawing a moving average with OnRender command

[Magzor]

Hey, just wondering how to draw a moving average type line with the OnRender commands. At the moment I'm using a for loop with a Rendertarget.DrawLine() command, that draws a line between each number in the array. Just thinking there must be a more elegant solution..?

Yes, you could draw all visible parts as one path, and it will look more natural, especially if it has sharp corners or is not a solid line. For example, look at the source code to the chart style @LineOnCloseStyle.cs, which is included with NinjaTrader, to see how you can do this by adding segments together and then rendering them all at the end.

Hey Bruce,
Thanks a lot for the tip! I'll give that a try
EDIT: Yess, that was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again!

Hello Magzor,

Thanks for your post.

QuantKey_Bruce is correct. In the NinjaScript Editor window, you may view the LineOnCloseStyle.cs ChartStyle file that comes default with NinjaTrader to see how to add line segments together and render them in OnRender.
