Plotting values in a custom strategy
Hi. I was wondering whether there is a way of plotting some simple values such as my own trailing stops and profit targets which I have within my custom strategy to the chart? What code do I need to introduce into my strategy to achieve this end?

Hi mbesha,
Thanks for your post.
You can always draw a line on your chart to mark where orders are.
For example:
if (order.Name == "Trail stop" && order.OrderState != OrderState.Cancelled && order.OrderState != OrderState.Filled)
{
DrawLine("trailstop", true, 10, order.StopPrice, 0, order.StopPrice, Color.Red, DashStyle.Solid, 3);
}
This would draw a line whenever there is an OnOrderUpdate event for a trail stop.
Below is a link to the help guide on DrawLine().

You can also use a plot but this would be something that stretches across the chart.
Below is a link to a reference sample that demonstrates plotting from a strategy which is not covered in the help guide (as this is not recommended).

To trigger an Alert, call Alert().
For example:
if (CrossAbove(Close, SMA(19), 1))
{
Alert("myAlert", Priority.Medium, "custom alert message", @"Alert1.wav", 1, Color.White, Color.Black);
}
Below is a link to the help guide on Alert().
