Looking for Horizontal Line with Label on Y-axis

[HansK]

Looking for a tool to plot a horizontal line with a price label that plots on the y-axis.
The features I look for are

a) being able to use a hotkey
b) once on the chart, being able to drag it
c) it plots the label on the Y-axis

Similar to: Horizontal-Line Label by ninZa.co (see screenshot) but then it should plot on Y-axis. If you know of a paid version, please let me know.

Hello HansK,

Thank you for your post.

To have a movable line, a line drawing object must be used which does not have the ability to create a plot label on the price margin.

What could be done is after the line is drawn, a check for the price of the object is plotted to a plot which only plots on the last bar (unsets all the previous bars). This would create the plot label.

There is an indicator written by a forum member that gets close to this but does not actually plot in the price margin. It does label the price on the line itself, however.

With a small edit, a plot can be added and the lineInfo.linePrice can be set to the plot, and if the previous bar of the plot is set, unset this.

To add a plot:
Add(new Plot(Color.Blue, "myPlot"));

To check if a plot is set:
if (Value.ContainsValue(1))

To unset a plot:
Value.Reset(1)

The reason I don't put labels on the y-axis is because if a user chooses a rather big font size , printing labels on y-axis will look ugly

[HansK]

Well, it is as you say : IF a user chooses....
I would defenitly choose to have price on the price-axis. In short: making it optional.
Appreciate your free version. Thanks

I will have a look at your suggestion in the weekend but I am pretty sure this is beyond my skills. Thanks for your advice, Chelsea.

Hello HansK,

Typically, NinjaTrader Platform Support does not create or modify code for clients (except for limited helpful examples).

However, I think this would be a good project for one of our newer members of support for additional practice at understanding NinjaScript.

I have forwarded this forum thread to one of our newest members who may be creating this for you in their own time.

Do keep in mind, this is not a service that NinjaTrader Support provides.

Also, I am including a list of professional NinjaScript Constants below, who would be happy to create this or other indicators at your request.

Hello,

I've edited the indicator linked in Chelsea's post to include a Y-axis price label that is pegged to the horizontal line. In the attached code, I've simply added a plot in the Initialize() method, then added the following line into the Plot() override:

Value.Set(l1.Y);

This takes the current Y value of the horizontal line on the chart, then sets the value of the plot to this value every time the Plot() method is called.

Please let me know if I can assist further.

[HansK]

Thank you for doing this guys! Really appreciate this. As it now displays a price label on the Y-axis, would it be possible to have an option not to show the label that is inside the chart? Or to make that text really, really small or black (like background)?

Label disappears after 1 second

When I plot a line the label on the y-axis disappears after 1 second if I have DH_HorizPriceLine on my chart. Really strange.

Hello HansK,

What is the DH_HorizPriceLine indented to do?

With the name, it looks like it is purposefully finding a horizontal line and attempting to control this. That could cause issues since the indicator modified by NinjaTrader_Dave uses a horizontal line.

Also, with the label that is appearing on the line in the indicator modified by NinjaTrader_Dave you would need to delete the code that does this.

Remove the line that starts with graphics.DrawString on line 211 should stop the label from being added above the line.

[HansK]

Chelsea, the DH_HorizPriceLine gives you a plot of the last traded price. So basically its an easy way to see where price exactly is compared to a previous swing low/high.

Ok I will delete the 211 code line. Thanks for your support!

Hi HansK,

I took a look at the indicator NinjaTrader_Dave has made and tested this with most of the default indicators supplied with NinjaTrader and I was not able to reproduce this behavior.

I recommend that you contact the author of the DH_HorizPriceLine script and let them know that this is causing an issue with another indicator.

Hi Chelsea, if you were to look in the DH_HorizPriceLine I made many years ago you would see there is nothing in it to conflict with anything. OnBarUpdate() has only two lines and it uses four variables:
CurrentPrice = Close[0];
DrawHorizontalLine("CurrentPrice", false, CurrentPrice, MyColor, MyLine, lineThickness);

No enums or anything in there.

Hello HansK,

May I have a copy of the DH_HorizPriceLine you are using so that I may try and reproduce the issue?

I would like the exact copy you are using in case there have been any modifications.
