Plot into the future

[mlapping]

Forgive my ignorance:

I would like to know if it is possible to plot data points on future bars with ninjascript.

Example: current bar is 55, I would like to plot 13 bars out, on bar 68. Is this possible?

Thank you

Hi mlapping, welcome to our forums here - unfortunately this is not possible with a Plot, however with our NinjaTrader 7 release you could draw programmatically into the future via NinjaScript (supply a future DateTime value) -

You can try to take advantage of Displacement.

How could I do that?

Hello Mike,

Displacement is available when you apply an indicator to your chart. Attached screenshot shows an SMA displaced 22 bars.

Exactly what I needed

That was exactly what I needed, thanks all for your help!

Hello,

I found this post searching for how to plot indicator lines in the future. The screenshot is exactly what I would like to do, but I could not reproduce it. Even for SMA as used in the exaple the displacement only shifts the plot for the specified period untill the dataseries ends. But i would like to see the line continue for the bars not yet available (just like in the screenshot).

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

It looks like you need to extend the line into the future using the time feature of the DrawLine command, as mentioned in the first response.


DrawLine(string tag, bool autoScale, DateTime startTime, double startY, DateTime endTime, double endY, Color color, DashStyle dashStyle, int width)

Bertrand,

I assume you mean with custom plot it's possible to draw into the future?

I think sledge has the answer in the post before yours.
