How to draw more than 1 line in PricePanel?

February 18th, 2015, 11:01 AM

Hi,
Could somebody help me please? I'm trying to draw 2lines in PricePanel, see code sample, but only the last one always appear. I don't know what I'm doing wrong?
Many thanks for any idea how to do it.

code sample:

Code

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
            // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
            //Plot0.Set(Close[0]);
			
			int startBar = CurrentBar - Bars.GetBar (new DateTime (2015,2,12,19,27,00));
			int endBar  = CurrentBar - Bars.GetBar (new DateTime (2015,2,12,21,21,00));
			int deltaAgo = endBar - startBar;
			
			//DrawLine(string tag, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY, Color color)
			
			if (CurrentBar > 20)
			{
			DrawOnPricePanel = true;
			//DrawLine("tagEntry",5,2082,0,2086,Color.Blue );
			DrawLine("tagEntry",true,new DateTime (2015,2,12,19,27,00),Open[startBar],new DateTime (2015,2,12,21,21,00),Close[endBar],Color.Blue ,DashStyle.Dash,3);
			
			DrawOnPricePanel = true;	
			DrawLine("tagEntry",true,new DateTime (2015,2,12,19,45,00),Open[startBar],new DateTime (2015,2,12,21,21,00),Close[endBar],Color.Blue ,DashStyle.Dash,3);
			
			DrawOnPricePanel = false;

because you use identical tag name, you make them diff by giving diff name or the same tag name + some value ex: "tag name"+Currentbar, "tag name"+count, etc....

Make sure tag is different for separate lines, eg:
"Line1Tag",
"Line2Tag"

If you don't want the lines to be overwritten at every bar and would like to keep every historical line visible you need also to add bar specific info to the tag, eg:
Time[0].ToString + "Line1Tag",
Time[0].ToString + "Line2Tag"

wow!! Thank you, ohh.. my eyes I completly non-see it, same Tags names..oops
Now it works ! Looks Great ! even without DrawOnPricePanel = true;

Could I ask one more drawing question please ?
I would like to draw circle with diameter 10pt with central point in same position as is actually mouse CrossCursor over the chart and when mouse cursor move, circle move it together with. Like circle will be drawn arround the cursor and move together as one. Such as gauge.
Many thanks for any idea.

If you are good at programming you should be able to get the idea of what needs to be done by looking at existing tools in the download section, like crosshair gauge:

Alternatively try to ask in the following thread:

Want your NinjaTrader indicator created, free?

Hey guys, I thought many of you would enjoy and benefit from this thread. My intention is to have each poster reply and describe in as much detail as possible an indicator they want created for NinjaTrader.

The programmers on the forum (there are many), …

I believe you need to be elite member to access both.
