Can not project Line or VerticalLine into future beyond current bar

[kenz987]

In a Strategy it ends the Line at the current bar, however I have done this in an Indicator and it worked just fine. Is this a built in restriction? Thanks.

Hi Kenz. Thanks for posting. The most simple way to do this is to use a Ray drawing tool to draw the line into the future timestamps, otherwise, you will need to use OnRender and draw the graphics using SharpDX:

This works in Indicators, Not in Strategies. Why do you make everything so hard?
Draw.Line ,,, Back-Date, .. Future-Date
And a Ray goes on forever, I want it to stop after a certain number of bars.
I consider this a bug.

Hi, thanks for the follow up. Please post your test script that reproduces and I will have a look at it on my end.
