How are plots handled by NT?

[benjamin$]

Hello,

Let's say I have an indicator that plots a dot for a specific candlestick pattern. If I look at the chart I can see the dots going back as far as my chart allows. Are these plotted dots saved to an index somewhere?

If so, how can I access this index?

If not, is there a way to obtain the exact location of a plot each time it places a dot?

Thank you.

Hello benjamin$,

Plots are a Series<double> object that NinjaTrader will automatically render on the chart when setting bar values.

The Time series is a Series<DateTime> object that holds the time for each bar.

The plot will have the price.

To print the time and price of the SMA 5 bars ago:

Print(string.Format("{0} | barsAgo: {1}, SMA(7)[{5}", Time[5], 5, SMA(7)[5]));
