How can i set AutoScale property?

[aytacasan]

Hello,

I have a strategy and using custom plots inside that strategy. Plots for plot higher time frame indicator's value because of that there is big gaps between instrument prices and indicator values, candles squeeze inside narrow area. How can i set auto scale to false for these custom plots?

Thanks,
Aytac

Hello aytacasan,

Thanks for writing in to our Support Forums!

You can set the plots of your NinjaScript to draw with AutoScale disabled by setting IsAutoScale to false inside OnStateChange() when the State is State.SetDefaults.

Please consider the sample code from the help documentation:

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
  if (State == State.SetDefaults)
  {         
    Name                 = "Example Indicator";         
    // set this to true to call CalculateMinMix() to ensure drawing tool is fully rendered in chart scale
    IsAutoScale = true; 
  }
  else if (State == State.Configure)
  {
  }
}

This code will set all of the plots to AutoScale. If we set IsAutoScale to false, the plots will not be set to draw with AutoScale.

Drawing objects that you are adding from your indicator or strategy will have to use the isAutoScale argument of the Drawing Object's calling method. You may observe the function prototypes from Draw.Line() for reference.

Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY, Brush brush)
Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY, Brush brush, DashStyleHelper dashStyle, int width)
Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, DateTime startTime, double startY, DateTime endTime, double endY, Brush brush, DashStyleHelper dashStyle, int width)
Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY, Brush brush, DashStyleHelper dashStyle, int width, bool drawOnPricePanel)
Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, DateTime startTime, double startY, DateTime endTime, double endY, Brush brush, DashStyleHelper dashStyle, int width, bool drawOnPricePanel)
Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, DateTime startTime, double startY, DateTime endTime, double endY, string templateName)
Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY, string templateName)
Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY, bool isGlobal, string templateName)
Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, DateTime startTime, double startY, DateTime endTime, double endY, bool isGlobal, string templateName)

You may also wish to set the properties of each indicator separately. We have a reference sample that may be of help: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=6651

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
