Strategy with Horizontal lines drawn limited to that day.

[amigatlin]

I have a strategy that draws a horizontal line but i cannot figure out how to limit the drawn line to a few hours of that day; not across the entire chart. Also, I would like to assign a value to the horizontal line so I can use it in a strategy. Thanks

Hello amigatlin,

Thank you for your post.

Draw.Line() will allow you to draw a line between two points. You can specify a starting time and ending time for when the drawing object will draw.

The best way to expose a signal for draw objects is to create a custom series in the script. We have an example here that demonstrates the idea with links to relevant documentation:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/exposing_indicator_values_that.htm

For the script you are working with, you would add a boolean series for each draw object. All custom Series<T> objects will have a slot index for every bar on the chart. When there is no draw object i.e. no condition to draw, mark the series with False, otherwise when it draws a symbol mark the series with True.

Please let me know if I can assist further.
