Hello fgs092790,

Thank you for your post.

Are you drawing it programmatically, or manually?

If it is being drawn programmatically, is this an indicator script or a strategy script?

i want to draw it from the NT8 drawing tool so manually

Hello fgs092790,

You would need to monitor the DrawObjects collection from your script to see when the Drawing Object has been added to the collection.

You could monitor the count of the collection, or loop through the collection to find the specific drawing object through tag name. The Help Guide page above has code examples.

i see the example is there any example that shows how to call one of the lines of the lines of the fib after i find the draw object on my chart ?

Hello,

Can you explain in more detail what you mean by "calling one of the lines of the fib"?

If you would like to do something to the drawing object after you have found it in the collection, you would need to cast it first as shown in the example " Looping through the collection to find specific draw objects" in the HG page.

what i mean is if for example what im drawing is a Fibonacci after i find the drawing in the collection how can place the order at one of the levels?

Hello,

Once you have identified the object you can access its PriceLevels. You would first need to cast the object as described in my previous post.

The HG page below has example code on accessing the PriceLevels.
