Draw.HorizontalLine on chart with multiple data series

[nduckste]

I have an indicator that draws some horizontal lines on the price panel. However, it only works when I have one data series in the chart. The code looks like this:

[INDENT]Draw.HorizontalLine(this, "EMHigh", EMHigh, Brushes.Green,DashStyleHelper.Dash,3);[/INDENT]

Both these values are set in the State == State.Defaults section:

[INDENT]IsOverlay = true;
DrawOnPricePanel = true;[/INDENT]

Code works fine with only one data series but when there are two (i.e. 5 min and 30 min), I get the following error:

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

I've tried modifying the code to include DrawOnPricePanel as follows but I still get the same error.

[INDENT]Draw.HorizontalLine(this, "EMHigh", EMHigh, Brushes.Green,DashStyleHelper.Dash,3, DrawOnPricePanel);[/INDENT]

Thanks in advance.

Hello nduckste,

I would suggest moving any Draw statement to the OnBarUpdate() section as in State.SetDefaults the data series has not been loaded.

To draw only once in OnBarUpdate() you could use (assuming EMhigh is defined prior to this)

if (CurrentBar == 0)
{
Draw.HorizontalLine(this, "EMHigh", EMHigh, Brushes.Green,DashStyleHelper.Dash,3);
}

Here is a link to what you can do in the various states:https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tatechange.htm

Paul,

Thank you. That worked and makes sense. I had it State == State.Defaults section so as to only run it once checking CurrentBar == 0 works just as well.

Cheers,

Nick
