Add PriceMarker as an Independent Drawing Object to NinjaScript

[shawnj]

Add a PriceMarker drawing object. This would look like the PriceMarker attached to Plots. The PriceMarker would draw itself in the yAxis area. As far as I can tell, we don't have a way to draw in the yAxis area. It looks like override Plot() doesn't expose the yAxis area.

Give DrawPriceMarker the following properties:
Price - this defines the Y Location.
BackgroundColor
OutlineColor
FontColor
FontSize
FontType
AutoScale - just like the AutoScale property in DrawRectangle - Important.
Opacity
ZOrder - Something like 1 thru 10 to define which PriceMarkers are on top of each other.

Perhaps a later generation could also have different shapes: Diamond, Rectangle, RoundedRectange, Default.

thanks,

Thank you for the suggestion. You are correct that y-axis region is not available for plotting right now. We will add it to the list of future considerations.

Is this available in NT8?

Hello CriticalTrader,

Thank you for your post.

No, this is not a drawing tool in NinjaTrader 8 by default. However, it could be created through programming a custom drawing tool.
For information on Drawing Tools in NinjaScript please visit the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...wing_tools.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.
