Ninja's built-in Current day ohl indicator

[StevenNelson]

Is there a way to keep this indicator from stair-stepping across the chart? There is really no reason for the stair steps.

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

There is currently no way to change the display style for this indicator in that way. The Current Day OHLC indicator will display the current High/Low for the particular time you are viewing on a chart. What you describe as stair steps are a result of that and displaying the highs and lows as they move through the day.

It may be possible to modify this indicator, or create a new one, using custom NinjaScript code. If you have a programming background, our NinjaScript team may provide you links to samples which would help you write the strategy yourself.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Replace the continuous plot that gives the stair step appearance with either 3 rays or 3 horizontal lines to plot open, high, low of session, and set indicator to update on price change

If what you want is to only display the Current Day's range High and Low i.e. you just get a line at that level whenever it is/was, go into the indicator's Line Style Settings and change it to Horizontal Line. Then, you will get a Horizontal Line at the Current Day's High and at the Current Day's Low - kinda like what it says in the definition/name of the Indie, without stair-stepping around values that are clearly not the HOD/LOD (any longer).
Save the Settings and it will be as it should be by default whever you apply it to a chart.
Hope that's what you want/helps.

brucerobinson is correct...just change the Line style from Line to Horizontal Line and the the stair-step will no longer appear...it will now be a Horizontal Line at whatever the current OHL for the day/session is
