Any indicator that plots multiple horizontal lines quickly and easily

[jjanguda]

I'm looking for a way to draw multiple horizontal lines quickly and easily.


If there is an indicator which allows to add a line with price(anchor y), color, opacity, width, dash style and anchor time and so on, I would appreciate for the link.
Tried to search it but couldn't find it.. It doesn't need have exact features but as long as I can draw lines easily and quickly instead of drawing them one by one, it would be very handy.

Thanks for your help.

Horizontal GridLines?
protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
DrawHorizontalGridLines = false; // Horizontal grid lines will not plot on the indicator panel
AddPlot(Brushes.Orange, "SMA");
}
}

Emma1, thanks for reply.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what to do with coding that you shared. No programming knowledge.. sorry. but will definitately check the link.

Attached the image that explains what I mean.
I just need to draw multiple lines on the chart but right now I draw them individually (one by one) which takes much time..
so it would be great if there is an indicator that has features to add line as many as I want and change settings(like color, line type, locked, width, price...) each line separately

Unless there is a strategy or trade condition specified about the lines , it can be difficult to say.

DrawHorizontalLine(string tag, bool autoScale, double y, Color color, DashStyle dashStyle, int width) NT7
DrawLine("tag1", false, 10, 1000, 0, 1001, Color.LimeGreen, DashStyle.Dot, 2);NT7 ,the tag serves as label.

Draw.HorizontalLine() NT8
Draw.HorizontalLine(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, double y, Brush brush, DashStyleHelper dashStyle, int width, bool drawOnPricePanel)

Thanks again Emma1,
It has nothing to do with a strategy, but I watch the price action at or near a line and place a trade manually. They are just support/resistance lines. I'm just lazy to draw them manually since there are many lines to draw and need to do it every day. Just wondering if there is an easier way to do this.

/ Prints the current pivot point value
double value = Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData, 0, 0, 0, 20).PP[0];
Print("The current Pivots' pivot value is " + value.ToString());



// Prints the current S2 pivot value
double value = Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData, 0, 0, 0, 20).S2[0];
Print("The current Pivots' S2 pivot value is " + value.ToString());

@jjanguda You apparently do not have a method for an automatic drawing of the line because it is subjective to your decision making based on the chart. Therefore without a methodology for the chart to know where you want the lines you will need to manually draw them. It might help to know that if you use PF6 on the top line of the keyboard the draw horizontal line will be activated so you do not need to point and click at the drawing drop down to select it.

Good Trading All !!!

FYI, no idea why this text is coming up in red. Tried selecting automatic color but it stays red and now this text is correct.

Good Trading All !!!.

Hello jjanguda,

Unfortunately, this would not be something that could be setup in the Alerts window with a point and click interface. To automatically draw objects on a chart does require creating an indicator in code. The Strategy Builder can be very helpful with creating code that can be copied over to an indicator, but this does take some work.
As a heads up, working with manual inputs does add a layer of complexity. In case you might be thinking about clicking on the chart and generating multiple drawing objects based on one click, or a special drawing object that creates lines based on data in several places with only one click.

I want to thank the community in this thread for being so helpful. They do have this right in that this would need to be custom coded.

And I'm happy to assist you if you choose to take on this challenge yourself.

Attached the image that explains what I mean.

From the pic you attached, it looks like most of the lines you are drawing are equidistant from each other..

Possibly trying to identify ranges of some type.. (whether that be between highs and lows, every 50 cents, or whatever..)

If this happens to be the case.. The default Fibonacci Retracement Drawing Tool can do this rather easily..

Here is a video demonstration on how you would set it up for identifying ranges, and/or even use it as a Risk Reward Tool!

Since equidistant lines have limited sense, I'd rather use FIBONACCI pivots. They are exactly the support / resistance lines you look for, moreover they change automatically at any new day (and possibly in realtime too), saving you further work.

Hello, I am in a similar case.
I want to draw line every 50 and 100. Price tend to find support or resistance at these level so it would be interesting to have then on a chart. Is there any way to automate the drawing of these line?

Thank you

Hello elgreco,
Simplest is to adjust Horizontal Grid Lines at these levels, right click on price scale -> properties -> horizontal grid lines -> fixed & horizontal grid lines interval type -> points then enter interval value, refer attached screen shot.

[elgreco]

Thanks a lot.

here is a picture of what I would like to create ... basically I'm looking for a way to create lines based on a reference point. The indicator then paints lines at pre-defined distances (e.g. every 50 ES points a line) with the potential of intermediate lines in between:
