draw horizontal lines at values of an indicator

[guidoisot]

Hello, does anyone know how to build an indicator which draws for any given timeframe (also intraday) configurable horizontal lines at the values of any given indicator calculated for the monthly weekly and daily timeframes?
For example if on an hourly chart we have 3 EMAs with periods, say 20; 50; 200, the indicator should draw on the chart nine horizontal lines at the values that such 3 EMAs would have when calculated for the daily, weekly and monthly timeframes. (…. ideally picking up the same format - line type, color, thickness – of the indicator)
If such indicator already exists, could you please provide some directions on where to find it?
Thanks. GT

Hello guidoisot,

Thank you for your note.

I am unaware of an indicator which does this however I would suggest checking out the Indicator section of our forum.

http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/local_links.php?catid=1

To code this you would need to add a secondary data series of day/month, for which you’d pass to the EMA then set to the value of the plot. Please see MultiTime Frame section of our helpguide.

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/?multi_time_frame__instruments.htm

I have put together a sample indicator which has two plots, 1 being set to the 5 period EMA of a daily data series and 1 to the 5 period EMA of the monthly data series.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thank you Alan
it looks like your sample indicator does not compile in NT8 (is it perhaps for ver.7 ?) I have tried to build it for ninjatrader 8, but I was not able to do it.
I attach an image of what I have done.
However before reading your email I noticed that there is a partially similar ninjatrader8 default indicator called "constant lines", maybe it is possible to derive what I am looking for from it.
Another possible candidate to generate the indicator perhaps could be this one:

Hello guidoisot,

The indicator I provided was written in NT7, which is the version of NinjaTrader this forum post is in.

I have converted it to NT8 for you and attached it.

I’m not sure you would need the sample you linked to for what you’re looking to do, however the attached script will get you started.

If you would like to take on learning NinjaScript, we have a fully documented help guide which will help you get started with Ninja Script. You will find language references to all of the methods and functions you will be using. You will also see a tutorial section which will help you create your first indicator and get you started with some of these concepts.

A link to our Help Guide with tutorials can be found below:
