Add Plot Strategy

[tonynt]

Hello,

I have in an indicator plotting a horizontal line working ok with

AddPlot(Brushes.Orange, "LineStyle"); and assigning a double to LineStyle[0] in the code of the indicator for plotting.

When I do the same in a strategy it is not plotting the horizontal line. Why please?


Thank you!

Hi tonynt, thanks for your note.

A plot should work the same in a strategy as is does in an indicator. Did you add the public property "LineStyle" that returns Values[0][0]? What if you just set Values[0][0] to the double? Please also check the log tab of your control center for errors.

I look forward to hearing of your results.

Hello,

thank you for your reply. So with this information that it has to work same as in an indicator I started new and I could make it plotting with same logic as in the indicator. But I do not have the price of the lineplot on priceaxis on the right which my indicator does. What I see is that the programmer has in the indicator added
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
DrawHorizontalGridLines = true;
DrawVerticalGridLines = true;
PaintPriceMarkers = true;
ScaleJustification = NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ScaleJustification.Right;

I thought this might be the reason why it shows the price in the indicator on price-axis on the right but when I add these lines same as in the indicator to state.setdefaults then I get error messages for horizontal and vertical grid lines and paintpricemarkers when compiling.

Thank you!

Hi tonynt, thanks for your reply.

A plot added by a strategy will not have a price marker. See this example on plotting from a NinjaScript strategy for more flexibility with plots such as plotting from other panels:
