Error drawing EMA with Ninja Script indicator

[gustavobp]

Hello friends,
I am designing an indicator that prints emas on the chart and I have a problem in the following line:

Draw.Line(this, "EMA9" + CurrentBar, 0, ema9[0], -1, ema9[0], Brushes.Green, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 2);

The error that the console gives me is the following:

"The name DashStyleHelper does not exist in the current context."

I guess there is some problem with the DashStyle property that is misspelled on the line. Can someone help me please?
THANKS

Hello gustavobp,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

This code appears to be for NinjaTrader 8 and not NinjaTrader 7, yet you have posted your thread in the NinjaTrader 7 section of the forums.

I have moved your thread from the NinjaTrader 7 > Indicator Development section of the forums to the NinjaTrader Desktop > Indicator Development section of the forums.
If your inquiry was actually for NinjaTrader 7, please let me know and I will move it back.

Moving forward post in the NinjaTrader Desktop Indicators section for indicators, NinjaTrader Desktop Strategies for strategies, and General Development for addons, market analyzer columns, etc.


If you want specify the DashStyleHelper you will need to use a overload signature that accepts DashStylerHelper and supply all of the parameters in that overload signature.

Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY, Brush brush, DashStyleHelper dashStyle, int width)

https://developer.ninjatrader.com/docs/desktop/draw_line

Also, using negative barsAgo indexes is not supported and will cause unexpected behavior in some circumstances.

Hello gustavobp,

You may have deleted necessary using statements at the top of the script.

Make a new indicator in the NinjaScript Editor. Copy and paste the default using statements at the top of the new script to your original script.

Moving forward always create new scripts using the NinjaScript Editor and do not remove the using statements from the top of the script.
