Drawing a line at the Target

[Jimmy73]

Hello,

I'm writing a strategy to backtest an option strategy.
Now my question is how to draw a short line above the candle (or below the candle when it's a short position) when a long position is opened that represents the target?

For example, the strategy opens a long position at a the current price of 1500, my target is set on 2% of the entry price what gives 30, so i want a short line above the candle when the position is opened at the price of 1530.

I've tried a lot of things but i don't find the solution ...

Hi Jimmy73, thanks for your note.

If you would rather avoid custom rendering in the OnRender method with SharpDX, you can use the Draw.Line method to draw a simple line of any color.

For a SharpDX solution, see this example indicator that does a similar task:

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your reaction.
After a long search i've found the solution and thanks for the example indicator but this sort of code is to difficult for me to understand.
