Horizontal trend line label with alert

[GussJ]

Dear All,
I am looking for an indicator that prints the price above the horizontal line tool (f6) and once the price penetrates that line, it triggers an alert.
I have the indicator in NT7 format, and would like to have it converted to NT8
Any feedback is appreciate
best
Gus

Hello GussJ,

Thanks for opening the thread.

We do not do conversion requests or write code for our clients in the Support Department at NinjaTrader, but I can give some direction if you are looking to program the indicator on your own.

If you are looking for services to convert the indicator for you, I can have a member of our Business Development team provide additional information on NinjaScript consultants. If that is the case, please write in to platformsupport [at] ninjatrader [dot] com with the thread URL and the text Attention Jim and I will get you connected.

To create this indicator, you will have to loop through all drawing objects on a chart to find your particular drawing object. Once found, you can use the price value from one of the anchors to be used in a CrossAbove() condition to trigger your alert.

Alternately, you can create a simple alert in a chart that can perform most aspects of this task.

Here are links to some documentation that can be used to assist in developing this indicator or creating an Alert in a chart. I will also include a link to the Code breaking section of the help guide that outlines all documented code changes between NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8 NinjaScripts.
