Draw when trading signal is found

[op1031]

Hi all,

I am backtesting a strategy, and I would like to draw an indication (above or below the candle) when the trading signal is found. I have looked into the Draw class, but I don't think that's what I need.

Thank you

Hello op1031,

Thanks for your post.

You could use the Draw class to draw objects on the chart when certain conditions in your script become true. For example, if you would like to draw a dot 1 tick below the low of each bar that your condition becomes true, the code would look something like this.

Draw.Dot(this, "tag1" + CurrentBar, true, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Brushes.Red);

See this help guide for more information about Draw.Dot(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...8/draw_dot.htm

And, see this help guide page for other Drawing objects you could use: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/drawing.htm

Let us know if we may assist further.
