Drawing a region from current Moving avg value to a certain number of bars back

March 28th, 2020, 09:08 AM

Hello all,

I'm trying to wrap my mind around something that was easy to code in thinkscript, but is quite a challenge on ninjascript (ninjatrader 8).

I'm hoping you can help!

What I want to do is draw a cloud between two moving averages - but I only want it 50 bars back on the chart from the current bar - and I would like it to be a rectangular cloud just based on the current value of the moving avg.

I've attached an example from my think or swim chart.

Any help would be appreciated!

I am brand new to programming on NT8, but have had some minor successes. Not sure what specific problems you are having, but a region in NT8 will span all the bars. I think you want to draw a rectangle instead.

Maybe try using Draw.Rectangle ()
It lets you specify how many bars back

Good Luck,
Edge
