Changing grid from code

[frantic]

Is there any way I can set the grid lines on a chart from code?

For example, I'd like to be able to make a small indicator that sets my grid lines to something useful for the instrument that is being loaded e.g.

Forex - Fixed 10 Pips
ES, NQ - Fixed 1 Point
CL, NG - Fixed 10 Ticks

Thanks in advance for your support.

Hello frantic,

Thanks for your post.

You can change these properties but please note the helpguide warning: "These are UI properties which are designed to be set by a user. Attempting to modify these values through a custom script is NOT guaranteed to take effect."

Reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...properties.htm

Here is an example of setting the horizontal grid lines to 10 tick intervals:

protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
		{  			
		   	chartScale.Properties.HorizontalGridlinesCalculation =  YAxisRangeType.Fixed;
			chartScale.Properties.HorizontalGridlinesIntervalType = HorizontalGridlinesIntervalType.Ticks;
			chartScale.Properties.HorizontalGridlinesInterval = 10.0;
		}
