Thanks a lot, cory!

However, I'm getting similar issues to last time when only using a *.cs file to add the indicator...

Seems like I need a zip if that's not too much trouble.

try this

Hi, Cory,

Really appreciate your efforts, but I'm still not getting it to work.

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling NT8, but no luck.

I've tried deleting the scripts (manually) and re-importing, but no luck.

Any ideas...?

I will try it on another computer now.

EDIT: I just tried it on another computer, but no luck.

The indicator does show up on my list of indicators and I'm able to add it. There just ain't no lines on the chart.

try this version, Note: to change color modify color in these lines;
....
if (barLo < barHi)
hlColor = Brushes.Blue;

if (barLo > barHi)
hlColor = Brushes.Red;

Hi, Cory,

Thank you so much! Appears to work great!

Regarding this:

Quoting

Cory: there is time zone indicator to color session start to end

How does this work? It seems to work only for session start? What I meant is that it would be nice if the horizontal lines on the current day could end at say 16:00 (US Equities RTH session end). Reads as 22:00 on my computer due to time zone differences...

But it's really of no consequence. I can simply plot a vertical line like I did manually to keep track of where the session ends.

Finally, is there a way for me to edit the Properties window if I would want that?

I did make changes to the color of Hi/Lo lines as instructed by you, but didn't see the possibility of making any changes to the Properties window. This one is more of a general question as I'd like to learn a bit more about programming indicators in Ninja.

Best regards and thanks again!

most indicator have color change interface, you can even take a look at the indicator above to see how done.

Aha. I understand, Cory! Thanks!

With regards to Properties in the indicator.

What I meant is that I now know how to make changes to the script if I'd want that.

Would there be a way for me to edit the text/formatting/parameters in the Properties window of an existing indicator? Or is that something one can do only when creating the indicator?

Thanks!

Hi, Cory,

Once again many thanks for the great indicator you made for me!

I'm curious.

Is it possible to edit the text in the Properties window for the indicator settings? I suffer from mild OCD and would like to change some of the text data. Big case letters, etc.

Also, I noticed that on the close for the last day it seems like it plots the close at 21:59. Not a big issue on my end as it seems to be correct for all other historical days.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

use ninja editor open the indicator look for this line
// Draws a lime green ray from 10 bars back through the current bar,
then cut and paste below code over 4 tag1,tag2,tag3,tag4 lines then compile it

Code

// Draws a lime green ray from 10 bars back through the current bar
//Draw.Ray(this, "tag1", 1, currentOpen, 0, currentOpen, Plots[0].Brush);
Draw.Ray(this, "tag1", false, 1, currentOpen, 0,currentOpen, Plots[0].Brush, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 5);
//Draw.Ray(this, "tag2", 1, currentHigh, 0, currentHigh, Plots[1].Brush);
Draw.Ray(this, "tag2", false, 1, currentHigh, 0,currentHigh, Plots[1].Brush, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 5);		
//Draw.Ray(this, "tag3", 1, currentLow, 0, currentLow, Plots[2].Brush);
Draw.Ray(this, "tag3", false, 1, currentLow, 0,currentLow, Plots[2].Brush, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 5);				
//Draw.Ray(this, "tag4", 1, currentClose, 0, currentClose, Plots[3].Brush);
Draw.Ray(this, "tag4", false, 1, currentClose, 0,currentClose, Plots[3].Brush, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 5);

Note: after cut & paste, it should look like this

Hi, cory,

Thank you!

Was this additonal code supposed to take care of the close on last day not quite correct?

This is what it looks like after updating the code.

Best regards,

Johannes
