is there a tool to draw lines automatically in ninja trader 8?

hello together.

is there a tool available which let me draw lines automatically in ninja trader 8?

i want to draw a initial line(by hand) and the tool should automatically draw a line in 20 points plus and in 30 points plus. also it should draw a line with 90 points minus.

also it should do it vice versa. minus 20 points, minus 30 points and plus 90 points.

so that i can use hotkeys for plus and a hotkey for minus lines.

bonus:

it let me choose which color the lines have.

here is a picture for clarification.

thx in advance.

edit: i cant post picture, sorry.

but you should get the point.

thank you for the link.

sadly the explantation video isnt loading cause its using the flash player.

i also didnt find any information how to use the tool.

i downloaded the zip and installed the indicator.

but i have no clue how to use it in the chart.

did you know how to use?

Hi. There are many ways to use it. For your requirement, I'd maybe do this:

Apply indicator to chart, for Event 1 and Event 2 select "Price Range", and enter the same Start Price
For event 1 make the End Price 20 points away
For event 2 make the End Price 90 points away

For the negatives, apply a second instance of the indicator and use subtraction instead.

Otherwise if you're into coding, create a new drawing tool and derive it from the Line drawing class, then edit On Render to draw the additional lines at the required price differences.

thx mate. i appreciate.

yes, i think i will let someone code me something. the tool you suggested ist to complex.

its need to be faster without giving in parameters. simply click at the pricerange and set the lines automatically.

will find a solution.

You need a percentage or a fixed increment?

fixed. 20 and 30 points. positive for longs, negative for shorts.

Here's a quick re-hash of NinjaTrader's built-in Horizontal Line to get you started:

Code

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Media;
using NinjaTrader.Gui;
using NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart;
using NinjaTrader.Core.FloatingPoint;

//This namespace holds Drawing tools in this folder and is required. Do not change it. 
namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools
{
    public class fioHamburgHorizontals : HorizontalLine
    {
        public Stroke StrokeForPluses { get; set; }
        public Stroke StrokeForMinuses { get; set; }
        public ChartAnchor ExtraAnchor { get; set; }
        
        protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
            base.OnStateChange();
            if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
                Name = "fio Hamburg Horizontals";

                ExtraAnchor = new ChartAnchor();
                StrokeForMinuses = new Stroke(Brushes.Red);
                StrokeForPluses = new Stroke(Brushes.Green);
            }
        }

        public override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
        {
            base.OnRender(chartControl, chartScale);

            ChartPanel panel = chartControl.ChartPanels[chartScale.PanelIndex];
            
            foreach (var x in  new List<int>{ -90, -30, -20, 20, 30, 90 })
            {
                Stroke ExtraStroke = new Stroke();
                if (x < 0) StrokeForMinuses.CopyTo(ExtraStroke); else StrokeForPluses.CopyTo(ExtraStroke);

                ExtraStroke.RenderTarget = RenderTarget;
                double strokePixAdj = ((double)(ExtraStroke.Width % 2)).ApproxCompare(0) == 0 ? 0.5d : 0d;
                Vector pixelAdjustVec = new Vector(strokePixAdj, strokePixAdj);
                
                StartAnchor.CopyTo(ExtraAnchor);
                ExtraAnchor.Price = StartAnchor.Price + x;
                Point extraPoint = ExtraAnchor.GetPoint(chartControl, panel, chartScale);

                Point startAdj = new Point(panel.X, extraPoint.Y) + pixelAdjustVec;
                Point endAdj = new Point(panel.X + panel.W, extraPoint.Y) + pixelAdjustVec;

                RenderTarget.DrawLine(startAdj.ToVector2(), endAdj.ToVector2(), ExtraStroke.BrushDX, ExtraStroke.Width, ExtraStroke.StrokeStyle);
            }
        }

    }
}
