Dot at Bar Midpoint

[rronzz]

Hello,
Attached is a dot template I use, I need assistance on lines107 to 115, I'm trying
to place a dot at the middle of the bar High[0]-Low[0]/2. I don't know how to instruct
the indicator to place the dot.
Your help is appreciated.
Ron

Hey.

(High[0] - Low[0]) / 2 gives you the distance only. You need to tell ninjascript where to plot that distance from. Basically substract the distance from a reference point, like High[0]

Is this what you are looking for?

Draw.HorizontalLine(this, "myLine", High[0] - ((High[0] - Low[0]) / 2), Brushes.Yellow);

There is a Draw.Dot, it's better to use that than Draw.Text.

Hello rronzz,

Thanks for your post.

Member Gorkhaan has provided good advise (Thanks!) and agree that unless you are using a special symbol, that Draw.Dot() may be a better way to go, however one limit is that the size of the dot is not adjustable. Reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../?draw_dot.htm

You may be interested in a free and publicly available indicator that provide center of bar marks (on every bar) called CandleQuarters that can provide a mark on the bar at the center, upper quarter, lower quarter and pivot point. The marks are plots that you can turn off (by changing to transparent color) or changing the symbol via the PlotStyle selection. The plotted marker size can also be changed (where as Draw.Dot() would be a fixed size)

This indicator is publicly available on our NinjaTrader Ecosystem website:

Here is a basic guideline of how to Import NinjaScripts.

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 list on the left > New > OK
