Drawing Verticle Lines on MACD Crosses...Multiple Instances

[90bideven]

So I used strategy builder to draw a line on the chart panel when the MACD crosses and stays above or below the smoothing for a certain number of bars. It works, but it only paints the most recent instance...be it a cross up or down, doesn't matter. Of course I want it to paint all instances for the data loaded and run live time. What am I missing in the strategy builder to make this happen? I am sure this is a common request but I couldn't find it in search. Thanks ;-)

Hello 90bideven, thanks for your post.

You will need to give a unique tag to the line to generate a new line for each instance. You can append the CurrentBar value to the tag to do this, then you will get a unique tag every time.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

Thanks Chris. So I changed Set 1 and Set 2 tag names to "tag1" and "tag2" and that picks up the most recent up and down turn respectively and rolls them going forward. That is great for real time trading, but if I have 10 days of data loaded and wanted every instance marked, what would I have to name the tags? Thanks.

Hello 90bideven,

Thanks for your reply.

Chris meant that you should change the tag name of the drawing object itself (the vertical line) to include the current bar number.

Here is a short video that walks through this: https://paul-ninjatrader.tinytake.co...MF8xMTMwNTc0MA
