NTB9 can draw objects to the right of last bar.

[marty087]

In NTB8 i was able to draw an obect to the right of the last bar by simply putting an negative number in the "bars ago" as you can see below, I have put a -10. This used to cause the object to draw 10 bars into the future. Now it draws on the last bar and never any further to the right no matter what the negative number may be.

Any thoughts?


Draw.Square(this,"SquareExample",false,-10,price,Brushes.Red);

There are complications in using negative bar values for draw methods that we are actively researching as of this beta release. This issue can be tracked using ID# NTEIGHT-9404

I noticed the same problem in all my chart where I use -5 to draw lines in the future. But what I not understand is why it was correct in NT8 version 8.0.0.8 and after update to 8.0.0.9 this problem comes up?

Why comes new problems up after updates when it work correct in a lower update version?

For anyone interested. Here is my solution

		protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
			myLine = Draw.VerticalLine(this,"TheLine", FutureBarsToTime(20),Brushes.Black);//.IsLocked = false;		
			
		}
		
		DateTime FutureBarsToTime(int BarsIntoFuture)
		{
			DateTime BarTime0 = Time[0]; //time of this bar
			DateTime BarTime1 = Time[1]; //time of bar 1 back
			DateTime BarTime2 = Time[2]; //time of bar 2 back
			
			System.TimeSpan TimePerBar = BarTime0.Subtract(BarTime1);//span between current bar and 1 back
			System.TimeSpan TimePerBar2 = BarTime1.Subtract(BarTime2); //span between 1 bar back and 2 bars back
			
			if (TimePerBar2.Ticks < TimePerBar.Ticks) TimePerBar = TimePerBar2; //checking the differnece between 2 x bar spans to ensure we are not modelling a gap and taking the lesser time span if different
			
			System.TimeSpan TimeIntoFuture = TimeSpan.FromTicks(TimePerBar.Ticks * BarsIntoFuture); // create the time span into the future
			
			DateTime TimeNow = Time[0];
			DateTime TimeToDraw = TimeNow.Add(TimeIntoFuture); // add the time span to the current bar
			
			return(TimeToDraw);
		}
