The Trouble With Plotting Rectangular Zones

[Zonie]

I am new to NT and have been exploring the vast world of creating(coding) my own indicators.

I have hit "resistance" and have not yet found an existing indicator that I can dissect to move forward.

I am currently creating (or at least trying to) a user defined price range which will plot a rectangular "zone" on NT7 charts. There is no math involved, I just want to be able enter my price range(s) into the indicator and see a rectangular zone(s) plotted on my chart.
Because drawing them in daily is an annoying mundane chore.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hello Zonie,

Thanks for writing in and welcome to our Support Forums!

We offer tutorials on developing indicators within our help documentation. There is a tutorial indicator that shows you how to create and use drawing objects within your indicator. I suggest going through that tutorial and then tackling your indicator to use DrawRectangle() to draw your zone.

I will provide links to the documentation below:

Developing Indicators - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...indicators.htm

Custom Drawing Indicator Tutorial - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...om_drawing.htm

DrawRectangle() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...wrectangle.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
