DrawLine()

[dowhk]

Hi,

I tried to draw a line on a chart using the DrawLine(), the code worked in a Strategy but not in an Indicator. Is this correct or do I miss something?

A prompt reply is appreciated.

DrawLine() works regardless of if it is from an indicator or a strategy. I suggest you check in your Control Center logs for any errors.

I suspect you may be running into this: http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3170

Thank you Josh.

I ran it like this, but still did not work.
How do I know my NT has errors, where is the log file located?
All other NT functions are fine.

 
if (CurrentBar > 2)
{ 
 
  DrawLine("tag1", false, 10, 230, 0, 200,
  Color.LimeGreen, DashStyle.Dot, 2);
  DrawHorizontalLine("tag2", 200, Color.Black);
}

Control Center has a Log tab. You can review them there.

Your code will not work. Your code is saying to draw the line 10 bars ago. On bar #5, 10 bars do not exist yet so it cannot draw and will have errors. You need to use at least if (CurrentBar < 10) return;.

Thank you again, Josh.

I found the error message from the Log, and I fixed the problem by changing the CurrentBar numbers.
