Setting IsGlobalDrawingTool

[kweiss]

Using the following code segment:

NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.Line lt = Draw.Line(this, "lineGlobexHigh", false,Times[(int)sessionsType.RTH][0], globexHigh, Times[(int)sessionsType.RTH][0].AddHours(6.5), globexHigh,
GlobexHighColor , GlobexHighStyle, GlobexHighWidth, true);

lt.IsGlobalDrawingTool = true;


I get the following compile error:

"Property or indexer 'NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.DrawingTool. IsGlobalDrawingTool' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only"




How do I set the IsGlobalDrawingTool property of the horizontal line? Please note that line creation code compiles without errors and code works as expected.


A second question.

A line created as follows:

NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.HorizontalLin e hzl = Draw.HorizontalLine(this,"hz",2900, Brushes.Azure);


The horizontal lines does not have the 'IsGlobalDrawingTool' property.


How do you set up a global horizontal line?


Thank you for you help.

Hello kweiss, thanks for your note.

You should use this constructor to make the line global:

Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY,[B] bool isGlobal[/B], string templateName)

IsGlobalDrawingTool is read only, so there is a getter, but no setter.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

I appreciate your quick reply. Please answer the second question:

Hello kweiss,

Thanks for your message.

IsGlobalDrawingTool is read only and cannot be set programmatically. You will need to use an overload for Draw.HorizontalLine that allows creating Global Draw Objects.

For example:

Draw.HorizontalLine(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, double y, bool isGlobal, string templateName)
Draw.HorizontalLine(this, "tag", Close[0], bool isGlobal, string templateName)

You can reference documentation for Draw.HorizontalLine here - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...zontalline.htm

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
