Hello tonynt,

Thanks for your question.

Drawing tools cannot place price markers, so I would suggest to create a plot in the script and to set the PlotStyle to HLine to show a horizontal line that has a price marker.

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
    if (State == State.SetDefaults)
    {
        Description                                    = @"Enter the description for your new custom Indicator here.";
        Name                                        = "HLineTest";
        Calculate                                    = Calculate.OnBarClose;
        IsOverlay                                    = true;
        AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Orange, 2), PlotStyle.HLine, "MyPlotLine");
    }
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    Values[0][0] = Close[0];
}

If you would like to have some HLine plots presented with a price marker and some without, I would suggest to set the Plot Brush to Transparent for the plot that you do not want to have a price marker, and to draw that plot line using SharpDX or using the Horizontal Line drawing tool.

Reference for using the Horizontal Line drawing tool and some reference on modifying plot appearance with SharpDX is linked below.

Using SharpDX for custom rendering - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._rendering.htm

OnRender (Please see the "Using multiple SharpDX objects to override the default plot appearance" example at the bottom) - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...s/onrender.htm

Keep in mind, if you are using OnRender, you will need to call base.OnRender() within that method's scope for standard plots to display.
