NT8 Strategy draw HorizontalLine on Chart

October 8th, 2020, 02:03 PM

Hi.

Can't figure out how a Strategy draws a HorizontalLine
on a host Chart.

Indicators seem to do so easily; but I can't
find anything for a Strategy.

Maybe there is no HorizontalLine; just Line and
I need to specify from and to coordinates...? That
might be it. But HorizontalLine is supposed to exist,
although I think it may be NT7 documentation, miscategorized
as NT8 documentation here:
https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/?draw_horizontalline.htm

Anybody got a simple code snippet?

Drawing tools are the same between indicators and strategies because both use the NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools namespace.

documentation with numerous examples.

Yeah, that's what I thought; until I couldn't figure it out. Indicators seem to be
much more prevalent; but nobody has yet shown me a Strategy that does
it.

PROBLEM RESOLVED

This was a Development Environment override of the Draw function
in Visual Studio, by a "partial class" definition in the namespace
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools which did not have
Draw.HorizontalLine defined, of course; in my local Documents
filesystem.

So, it's a Visual Studio Dev environment unintended class override
which was making it impossible to see the Draw.HorizontalLine

Ya learn something every day !!! I'm a Java programmer with Eclipse;
and haven't spent the required years with Visual Studio C# !!
