Drawing Object

[Dervakon]

Hi everybody,

I would like to know something, On the
protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
// System variable
double Rsi = RSI(RSI_Period,3)[0];
double RsiAvg = RSI(RSI_Period,3).Avg[0];

If I put a 0 on the RSI bar ago my I can draw a plot but if I write a 1

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
// System variable
double Rsi = RSI(RSI_Period,3)[1];
double RsiAvg = RSI(RSI_Period,3).Avg[1];

I can't draw a plot on the chart

Could you help me

Thanks

In your failed case, what is the error in the log?

Dervakon,

Please ensure you are using :

if( CurrentBar < BarsRequired ) return;

Towards the beginning of your block of code. You can even replace BarsRequired with 1 or however far you are looking back.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Dot Size

Hi, how do i personalize the size of the dots? i cant seem to find the way in the help guide

DrawDot("Dots_Alerts"+CurrentBar, true, 1, Value[1], signalcolup);


thank you

kabott,

Unfortunately this is not currently possible. You could probably use DrawEllipse to draw larger circular objects. Please find a link to info on this below.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Use DrawText() and draw a period. In addition to allowing you to specify size and color, you get the immeasurable benefit of being able to place the dot an EXACT number of pixels from any of the OHLC values that you choose.

Im sorry but im just starting with ninjascript and my knowledge is very basic, i want to draw a dot to show the "fractal" of a stochastic line and a couple errors occur wen i try to compile(using text), isn't there a simple way to reduce the size of the dots using the DrawDot without reducing the size of the candles as well?

Unfortunately, no. NT did not see fit to give us the parameters to size dots when using DrawDot().

Koganam and Kabott,

The main issue is the dots are essentially images. They would be all pixelated at larger resolutions. You can use DrawEllipse() or use the DrawTextFixed() to draw multiple sized circular objects. I will mention this suggestion to development.

Please let us know if you require additional assistance.

I found it right after I write my email...

Thanks again everybody...

&quot;counting dots&quot;

Hi, if i have:

DrawDot("T1"+CurrentBar, etc etc etc)

what code do i need to get how many Dots/Signals were triggered historically?

(since first started to calculate)

i want the indie to display the total Nº of "signals" on the chart

thanks

You would need to count via custom code each time your condition to draw is adding an object then, a related sample working on a trade limiter per session could be seen here - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ad.php?t=19182

How to reduce dot size

Hello. I use DrawDot() to see stoploss on the chart. But these dots are really larger/wider than bar.

[NinjaTrader_Brandon]

Hello alexstox,
Thanks for your post.
You would not be able to adjust the size of the dot, however what may work is using DrawText(), placing a period, and adjusting the font size or using a symbol based font such as wingdings.
Below I have provided a link to the DrawTest() section of our help guide.
