Hello shankar.deshapande,

Thanks for your post.

I have moved this forum thread to the NinjaTrader 8 Strategy Development section of the Forums since it seems you are programming a NinjaScript strategy.

To clarify, are you wanting to detect if the Close price crosses above/below a trend channel drawing object that you are drawing on the chart?

A TrendChannel drawing could be drawn on the chart by calling Draw.TrendChannel().

To detect a drawing object on the chart and get information about that drawing object you could use the DrawObjects collection to either find a draw object by a specific tag name or by looping through the DrawObjects collection to find specific Draw objects.

Once you get the price of a Draw objects chart anchor, you could use that price for your crossover conditions.

See the help guide documentation below for more information and sample code.

If you are referring to using the SuperTrend indicator for crossovers, you could use the plot of the SuperTrend indicator to detect if the Close price crosses above/below the plot value of the SuperTrend indicator. This is similar to detecting if the Close price crosses above/below the SMA indicator plot in the SampleMACrossover script.

To view the SampleMACrossover strategy, open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, open the Strategies folder, and double-click the SampleMACrossover file.
