Drawing a horizontal line with label

[cay7man]

In my script, I'd like to draw a horizontal line at various points with a label. Eg: From High or Low of a bar to the right (price axis). Any pointers?

Used Draw.Ray but looks like I'd have to draw the label separately. Any other option?

Hello cay7man,

Thanks for your post.

As you noted, the label would have to be drawn separately on the chart window.

This would require custom rendering the label on the chart using SharpDX and OnRender().

Using SharpDX to Custom Render Chart Objects: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._rendering.htm

OnRender(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...htsub=onrender

Here is a DrawingTool script from the Ecosystem User App Share that draws lines on the chart with labels: https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...-drawing-tool/

The script linked above also contains NinjaScript overloads that could be used in an indicator or strategy.

Can you please add my vote for this to be a standard feature of NinjaTrader. Sorry but the linked user created add on is not sufficient and does not work globally.
