ConstantLine Indicator

[MichaelB]

Hello All,
To identiry possible future support / resistance price levels, often lines are drawm at swing highs and lows , also Market Profile charts may be used to indentify these price levels.
Once drawn on a chart , transferring these lines to other charts of the same symbol, can be a very time consuming and tedious.
Ninja has an indicator called ConstantLines, with the ability to draw four lines and no default setting

My question is ;
(1) Can the number of lines be increased to 12
(2) Can this indicator have a default setting , button , so that once lines are drawn to certain levels, press the button , these lines become the default setting , and all lines can be transferred to another chart of the same symbol , by just applying the indicator

Thanks
Michael B

1) You can make a custom variant of the default indicator to include 12 lines. Just add 8 more plots, 8 more line variables, and set the value 8 more times. Basically duplicate the way the current code is working 8 more times.

2) You can preset the default values by hard coding them in, but we do not support the creation of a button you could press that would save the values.

Line1Value = 502;
Line2Value = 609;

Errors in NT generated code

Josh
I did as you suggested and generated a 15 lines ConstantLine Indicator (CL15ES). I intend to add my SR lines and market profile values -hard coded- on a daily basis. After correcting several errors, I still have a couple that I cannot correct as they appear in the Ninja generated code area. In lines 400 and 399 it expects to see a " } ". However, I can see the " } " where they are supposed to be.

So what is the problem? I am not a programmer but I can modified a few things in some indicators. Your suggestion was one of them.

Indicator attached

Thanks

Hi Carlos,

You forgot to end the last Line15 set.
This is what you have

[Description("Line 15 Value")]
[Category("Parameters")]
public double Line15Value
{
    get { return line15Value; }
    set { line15Value = value; }

This is what it should be

[Description("Line 15 Value")]
[Category("Parameters")]
public double Line15Value
{
    get { return line15Value; }
    set { line15Value = value; }[COLOR=Red]
}[/COLOR]

Also you are going to need to duplicate this code segment up to 15

[Browsable(false)]    // this line prevents the data series from being displayed in the indicator properties dialog, do not remove
[XmlIgnore()]        // this line ensures that the indicator can be saved/recovered as part of a chart template, do not remove
public DataSeries Line4
{
    get { return Values[3]; }
}

At the end you should have this for your Line15

[Browsable(false)]    // this line prevents the data series from being displayed in the indicator properties dialog, do not remove
[XmlIgnore()]        // this line ensures that the indicator can be saved/recovered as part of a chart template, do not remove
public DataSeries Line15
{
    get { return Values[14]; }
}

Could the constantline Indicator be modified to plot horizontal rectangles with a width of say 5 ES points and an opacity of say 3, instead of lines?

Hello,


Yes you could do this following similar logic. Code it and let us know if you get stuck so we can assist.
