Draw Line

[GeoOrtiz]

Hi All,

I'm having trouble drawing a line in my strategy. I want the line to start on the first bar of the session and continue for 40 bars. I wrote the following statement, but I'm getting an error:

if(Bars.BarsSinceNewTradingDay < 40)
{
Draw.Line("this", topLine.ToString(), false, Bars.BarsSinceNewTradingDay, SecHigh,
0, SecHigh, Brushes.Green, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 2);

The only item in the statement above I'm not sure about is the "Bars.BarsSinceNewTradingDay" for the startBarsAgo parameter.

I also thought about using DateTime as the starting / ending points of the line, but since the start of the trading day starts in one day and ends on the following day, I'm having problems there as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are there any error messages, anywhere, such as in your log?

Hello GeoOrtiz,

What is the full text of the error message?

Yes, I get a "CS1502" error

Cross-check your syntax by comparing it to what is in the NT Help. That is certainly a syntax error.

Ok, figured out the problem. I put quotation marks on this. Once I corrected that, it all worked well.
