Time Related Error for Extended Line

[L33TB0Y]

Hello,

I've been running this indicator for almost a year now with no problems. However, today I am receiving the following error message whenever it tries to run.

Indicator 'L33TB0YAverages': Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method on bar 200: NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.ExtendedLine startTime must be greater than the minimum Date of 1/1/1800 12:00:00 AM but was 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM

I am painting two separate sets of lines. The startTime is acquired via Time[0] for one line and Time[1] for another. What is the root cause of this issue and why would it only show up now? I wonder if it is related to the daylight savings time change.

Thank you!

Hello L33TB0Y,

Thank you for your post.

So I may accurately assist you, please answer all of the following questions:

• What version of NinjaTrader are you using? Please provide the entire version number. This can be found under Help -> About (Example: 8.?.?.?)
• What is your logic for drawing the extended lines?
• What instrument symbol (and expiry if applicable) have you selected? For example, ES 03-22, AAPL, EURUSD, etc.
• What interval is selected? For example, 5 minute, 1 day, 2000 volume, 4 Renko, etc.
• Are you able to reproduce this error in a test script that only draws an extended line with the same/similar logic to that which is used in your L33TB0YAverages indicator?

I look forward to your reply.

Thanks for your quick reply.

1. Version 8.1.2.0 64-bit
2. The logic is:

Draw.ExtendedLine(this, "StartToStart" + lineName + startToStartCount, false, secondStartTime, secondPriceLevel, firstStartTime, currentPriceLevel, Brushes.Magenta, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 1);

3. ES 12-23
4. 500 Tick Candlesticks
5. Using the logic above I was able to draw a line by simply inputting the Time[1] and Time[0] in place of second and first start time.

All of my indicators that use extended lines, except one, have started doing this. These indicators are not connected to one another. I was able to fix it temporarily by setting all the time related variables to Time[0] via a script that runs one time before the lines are called which makes me think there's an issue with my code, and not a bug of some type. I'll do a deep dive tomorrow to see if I can figure out what's going on.

Thank you!
