Dear Support,

Please consider including a HorizontalRay line to the drawing tools (DrawingTools.Lines), a badly missed and perhaps the most useful of all lines for marking price action support and resistant lines on a chart. A feature that is commonly used by all traders.

Please note that there is already a custom add-on on the Forum for drawing Horizontal Rays (a 1-anchor click that also prints the series value on the Horizontal Ray) that can be nicely incorporated into the NT8 DrawingTools.Lines instead of being a separate add-on.

I have attached the add-on.

Thanks.

Thankyou for sharing the tool.

Please add my vote as well.
Please add the option to put a note on the ray or horizontal lines. Something like a checkbox in the features of the ray/horizontal line where the other parameters are located.. Would be great to put prices, small notes ecc. in the note as soon as the ray is created.

Hello Edward88,

Thank you for your reply.

It appears that votes for this were incorrectly put on SFT-2387, which is for adding additional indicators to the platform.

SFT-2149 is the correct SFT number for the request for Horizontal Rays. I've moved all votes from this thread to the correct SFT number and have added a vote for you as well.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

Horizontal Ray Drawing Tool SFT-2387.

I am a new user on NinjaTrader and have been frustrated trying to draw horizontal rays with the existing ray drawing tool - its completely inadequate. This led me to search the internet for a solution and I found this post from 2018.

It is now nearly THREE YEARS since Senior Member "aligator" made the simple request to add Horizontal Ray to the Drawing Tools. This is such a basic and essential tool for drawing support and resistance on our charts. NinjaTrader is negligent for ignoring this simple yet important request for THREE YEARS. NinjaTrader, what are you waiting for??? Approve SFT-2387.

Thank You to "aligator" for attaching the add-on THREE YEARS AGO!

Well, I was just trying to have my cake and eat it. The ONLY thing I like about the default "ray" is the ability to drag to another wick without having to actually go to the said location. The default ray is garbage for the lack of label and for having to manually enter exact start Y and end Y data to have a straight line.

Love the addon, however, if I click in the middle of the ray line (Habit of mine to drag line to a different candle starting spot on a chart), it moves the anchor start to where my cursor is located. Any chance to lock the Ray length so I don't have to move my cursor to the bar I want when I move the line to a different bar? (Like Tradingview)

Thanks. This one-click Ray add-on has one anchor and extends to the far right by design. If you want to lock the length and have location control you might want to use any of the default lines with two anchors such as Line, Ray, and Arrow Line, without label of course.

Awe Sah-Weet! Thanks for pointing me in that direction! Keeps getting better and better!

Hello anexx,

Thank you for your reply.

While you'd want to speak with the developer about the first part, it does appear you may adjust the hot key used to trigger the horizontal ray under Tools > Hot Keys > Chart.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

[anexx]

Awesome, thank you! Any chance to add an option to display the price on the Y axis rather than on the line?
And switch yours to the F3 hotkey? (I'd rather use yours instead of the default NinjaTrader Ray)
