Ray anchors - What am I missing

[pjsmith]

Hi,

I want to detect touches/breaks of a ray line. I thought I could do that with some clever math, but fell at the first hurdle. I can't seem to figure out how to get the Ray anchors. This seems possible from the docs https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rawingtool.htm

But, if I try this

Ray myRay = Draw.Ray(this,"ray1",0,l,i,Low[i],Brushes.White);

myRay.Anchor does not exist.

I'm sure I'm doing something silly, but such a simple example and can't figure out what!

Any clues?

Thanks.

Hello pjsmith,

Thank you for the post.

In this case, because the tool has more than one anchor, you would need to specify which anchor you want or loop over the collection of anchors. Here is an example:

if (CurrentBar < 20) return;

Ray myRay = Draw.Ray(this, "ray1", 20, Low[20], 0, Low[0], Brushes.White);

Print(myRay.StartAnchor.Price);
Print(myRay.EndAnchor.Price);
// or
foreach (var chartAnchor in myRay.Anchors)
{
	Print(chartAnchor.Price);
}

I look forward to being of further assistance.
