draw.line() z-order

[enable]

Hi,

My strategy is drawing a couple of lines on the spot and deletes them, if no more used.

These lines are automatically placed behind any already existing indicators or bars (i.e. behind a Donchian Channel) and therefore can't be seen.

I'm searching a kind z-order which I'd like to add to the strategy draw.line method:

Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY, Brush brush, DashStyleHelper dashStyle, int width)

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...rt_objects.htm gives me a hint: Drawing Objects originating from a NinjaScript indicator or strategy will all generally share the same z-order as the script. In this case, the z-order of objects must be changed within the code of the indicator or strategy.

Unfortunately, I didn't find the code how to do it.

Hello enable,

Thanks for your post.

Please review the Helpguide link here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ratezorder.htm

To further add to the helpguide example:

Dot myDot = Draw.Dot(this, "NewDot", true, 5, High[5], Brushes.Black);
myDot.IsSeparateZOrder = true;
myDot.ZOrder = 10000;

Hello Paul,

Thanks for your support.

Using the following snippet

NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.Line myLine = Draw.Line();
myLine.IsSeparateZOrder = true;
myLine.ZOrder = 10000;

the strategy added line is placed above the bars, but not above the indicators. See screenshot with the black dot and the red line below the blue ma and the white dashed channel.

I'm wondering if it is possible to move the AddChartIndicator(); parts (in this case ma and donchian channel) behind the Draw.Line() element.
