Close Bbove or Below ExtendedLine

[evanp90]

Hello,

I've drawn an extended line like so:
Draw.ExtendedLine(this, "topline", CurrentBar-EB, EP, CurrentBar-AB, AP, Brushes.LimeGreen);

Is there something built into ninjatrader that allows me to run some code when the close is above or below the line?

I know I can figure out the Y value of the line for the given x value but I wan tot know if there's something built in.

Thanks,

Evan

Hello evanp90,

Thank you for your note.

There's no simple way to check if the price crosses the extended line from NinjaScript. This example script from our User App Share can't be opened in NinjaTrader 8 as it was for NinjaTrader 7, but if you open it in a text editor, it gives an example of how to check if the line has been crossed. Obviously this code would need to be updated to be used in NinjaTrader 8, but this should give you a jumping off point for the necessary logic:
