To be able to manually remove individual lines
To be able to manually adjust individual lines

If you left click and select any trend line.. then right click for Context Menu.. then left click Lock (to unlock)..You can now move trend line anyway you'd like

You should also be able to accomplish this via code, but not with the default indicator.. You'll have to make a copy..

NinjaTrader Help Guide provides sample of how this can be done using the DrawObjects IsLocked property..

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?isninjascriptdrawn.htm

(hint) If you just assign the objects lock property when it's drawn, you shouldn't need to iterate thru all..

To Allow Removal of Draw Objects drawn from within a script, refer to this Help Guide sample..

Thanks to both.

Re: manual adjust - marvelous (I first tried to remove a line, and when it wouldn't play ball without removing the script, and then also wouldn't allow me to adjust it either, it was enough to bring me to a premature halt - this pesky thing is not going to co-operate with me and looked no further...)

My coding and Ninjascript knowledge is weak. Am I correct in understanding I can simply edit the code where you've directed me, change default Lock to default Unlocked, and Allow User to Remove from default False to True, save & compile. And Bob will become my Uncle? All lines the script draws will then be both adjustable and able to be deleted by the User by default?
I think I can stretch myself to that.
If so, marvelous, I can see it actually being really useful with those restrictions removed!
So kind of you.

Kind regards,

Hadn't looked close at their code.. but couple additional steps required to copy that particular script..

Take a look at this one.. default trendlines indy modified for user config of Lock and Removal..

Copy cs file to Indicators folder while Editor is open.. Indy name will be TrendLines2

I suggest a program like winMerge to view each script side by side and compare what I've done..

https://www.winmerge.org

Caution When Using this scripts alert settings: Actually I would suggest NOT using, when using either Unlock or Removal..

The scripts running code is not going to know when or where you've moved or deleted a trendline..
It will continue running as if all originally plotted trendlines are present and in their original place..

Also note.. Anytime you refresh/reload your chart/data, you will loose any modifications you've made..


Best of Luck!

Many thanks again Edge for taking the time, & the 'heads up' re: consequences on alerts and of chart refresh - I understand, but wouldn't have thought....
Acceptable limitations, however.
I think I'll need to find a darkened room & large glass of the good stuff before I start analysing code
Keeps the old synapses firing though.
Kind regards,
Bruce

Feature Improvement Request - Nice to have the auto trend line - and the check box to send alert

the Alert message should include the current price when the trigger goes out

if you are drawing more that 1 trendline they should all trigger alerts if broken

Edge, Hi. is winmerge safe to use? I noticed the downloaded zip folder includes a few .dll files which seem not being quite open source.

Thanks.

[brucerobinson]

#Edge - penny hadn't dropped that you'd actually 'done the job' as it were. Doh!
I just went to compare the code and see what I needed to do from your earlier guidance and realised the job's done :-)

I understand what you've done, but wouldn't have had a clue what was required myself.

It just allows that element of discretion, should one so wish. Look forward to giving it a try :-)

Very generous of you.

hmmmmm... don't seem to be receiving email notifications anymore..

@aligator

Guess I can't 100% vogue for that! as not sure anything is truly safe anymore!

But I can say it's been one of my few GoTo Tools, that I've used regularly for many years..

I believe they provide the source so you can compile your on version if you prefer..

and/or I'm sure there are similar products.. Just not familiar with any of the others..

Good Luck!

hey guys! anyone know how to generate trendline cross signals in the Market Analyzer with this indicator?

[NinjaTrader_Jim]

Hello Silent Warrior,

This indicator adds drawing objects which require a chart, and does not use plots in a traditional way to make it possible to use it in the Market Analyzer.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
