Being able to mark visually conditions of interest on the chart is useful for the discretionary trader. With NinjaScript you can draw various objects onto your chart to alert you of these points of interest.
The attached reference sample demonstrates the following key concepts:
Drawing unique diamonds to mark the beginning and end of uptrends
Drawing and updating a single rectangle that marks the current uptrend
Important methods and properties used include:
DrawDiamond() (http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/drawdiamond.htm)
DrawRectangle() (http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/drawrectangle.htm)
