Make the lines interoperable

[turbofib]

hi,

Make the lines interoperable

You can add as feature request this?

If the price touches the drawn line, call an event that returns the list of lines touched

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

I wanted to get more details on the feature request. Are you asking for an Override similar to OnBarUpdate but for price crosses on objects?

If so, generally you would do this yourself using logic and OnBarUpdate from the indicator you are creating. http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ub=drawobjects

If I have misunderstood and this is for manually applying lines in some what could you please clarify?


I look forward to being of further assistance.

i give you an example ...

See pics....there are lines draw by code and lines draw by hand..

if price crosses these lines, I want a list of the lines that have been touched by the price ( List<DrawObject> can to be returned )

Hello turbofib,

To detect if a line has been crossed by the price on the current bar, logic is needed to determine the slope of the line, calculate a price for the previous bar, and then check to see if the current price on the current bar has crossed the calculated value for the previous bar.

An example of this logic is in the NinjaTrader 7 LineAlert indicator.

The logic would be the same for NinjaTrader while the syntax to loop through the objects would be slightly different. An example can be found in the help guide.

Are you wanting to submit a feature request for a method that would calculate this automatically?
