How to draw a dot on midpoint of a bar?

[Bud_Fox]

Newbie here.

How do I draw a dot in the middle of the range of a body in a a candlestick if a condition is true? Re sizable if possible.Actually a code snippet would suffice...

Thanks!

Hello Bud_Fox,

Thank you for your post.

In NinjaTrader 7:

DrawDot("Mid"+CurrentBar, false, 0, Low[0]+((High[0]-Low[0])/2), Color.Yellow);

In NinjaTrader 8:

Draw.Dot(this, "Mid"+CurrentBar, false, 0, Low[0]+((High[0]-Low[0])/2), Brushes.Yellow);

EDIT: Nevermind! I found the candle quarters indicator that can do this. Just change the type to hash and make all the other settings transparent. Got it here: https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...le-quarters-2/
Can someone please convert this from a dot to a line for Ninja8? I tried but getting compile errors.... Thanks!

Hello TradeUP1,

Thanks for your post.

In NinjaTrader 8, the Draw.Dot() method would be used to draw a dot on the chart as noted by NinjaTrader_PatrickH in post # 2.

Are you referring to the Candle Quarters indicator from the User App Share page linked below?

This script uses Plots to plot values on the charts and does not use Draw methods.

You could change the PlotStyle of the AddPlot() methods to use PlotStyle.Hash to see a small line drawn at each plotted value.

For example: AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Gold, 2), PlotStyle.Hash, "BarPivot");

If you want to see a continuous line for the plot, you could use PlotStyle.Line.

See this help guide page for more information about AddPlot(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/addplot.htm

Note the script could be modified in the NinjaScript Editor window (New > NinjaScript Editor)
