draw vertical line in the future

[gravdigaz6]

hello, it is possible to draw a vertical line,five days in the future?
How to do that?

If you look for an indidcator that plots a line 5 days in the future, you need to code it. On charts with equidistant bar spacing (one data series only), such an indicator can be easily coded but requires a custom plot.

However, I do not know what a vertical line plotted five days in the future would be good for.

Hello Gravdigaz6,

Harry is correct here, you would need to custom code this for it to work.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hello sonia0101,

Thank you for your post.


Thank you for your note.

This indicator is publicly available on our NinjaTrader Ecosystem website:
https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...e-drawingtool/
Note — To import NinjaScripts you will need the original .zip file.

To Import:

1. Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'

Once installed, you may add the indicator to a chart by:

• Right-click your chart > Indicators... > Select the Indicator from the 'Available' list on the left > Add > OK

Here is a short video demonstration of the import process:

• Install a 3rd Party Indicator or App

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

Hi Eric thank you for quick response.
My mistake as I did not clarify exactly what I was looking for.
Am trying to find a indicator that you can input the time/s of day when you want to see a vertical line on the chart, now I have found many that can do this like repeater, time lines etc.. But those only print in real time when it gets to that time.
I want one that will print the lines into the future so they are already visible in the blank area to the right in a chart.
like this

I have found a work around just using the draw tool built into NT can place lines on the chart, save workspace.
Yet still looking for indicator
again thanks for helping out

Thank you for your reply.

I see, this likely would be possible via custom programming. If you're a programmer yourself, let me know and I can have our NinjaScript team follow up with tips on creating this bar type.

If you're not a programmer, our NinjaTrader Ecosystem team can advise third-party consultants that assist clients in developing custom tools for use in NinjaTrader, or may already have version available.

We look forward to assisting further.
