simple line indicator of single value

[Skifree]

I want to track a custom value over time. For instance, I have a backtesting 'intradayMarginUtilized' value and I want to view it next to trading. Does something simple already exist for this?

Hello Skifree,

Thanks for your post.

You could create a custom NinjaScript indicator that adds a plot to the indicator using the AddPlot() method and then assign the calculated custom value that you want to the plot.

That value you assign to the plot would then be plotted on the chart from the indicator.

See the help guide documentation below for more information about AddPlot() and sample code.

The C# programming language is used for developing NinjaScript indicators and strategies.

To create a NinjaScript indicator, open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, select the '+' tab at the bottom of the Editor window, select 'New Indicator'. Then, you could set up as much of the indicator as possible in the Indicator Builder. This will create the framework of the indicator or strategy

Once you finish setting up as much as possible in the Indicator Builder, you must manually program the rest of the indicator.

Below is a link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript.
