interactive trend line

[safetrading]

I would like to make the color of an indicator to be one color when the price is above a manually drawn horizontal trendline and another color when the price is below it.

Are there any code examples that would show me how to access the trendline. I can easily code the color change, I just don't know how to refer to the trendline and if that is possible. Also, if this is possible, if I drag the trendline to another price level will the code I would use reflect this change or only the original location of the trendline?

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your quick reply. The link you sent me however shows the part fo the coding I already know how to do. It shows how to make the indicator appear in different colors based upon the indicator levels. What I need to know is how to tell the indicator the price level of a hand drawn horizontal line on the price chart. For example, if I draw a line at the price level of 85.25 and the price crosses that line, then I want the indicator to be aware of that so it can change color. I can code the different colors, but I don't know how to tell the indicator when the above event occurs.

Hello Safetrading,

Thank you for that information.

The following link will take you to the Version 7 Indciators section of the Support Forum to download the Alert For Manually Drawn Lines indicator that will show you within the code how to reference when price crosses a manually drawn line: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...d=4&linkid=472
