How to enter vertical line in chart output for Strategy Analyzer

[Dragon989]

I'm trying to add a vertical line everyday that is being analyzed at a specific time. I've yet to make anything display and assuming I'm handling the time input incorrectly?

Draw.VerticalLine(this, "tag1", 64500, Brushes.Green)

Thanks!

Hello Dragon989,

Thank you for your note.

The following would draw a vertical line on the most recent current bar, 0.
Draw.VerticalLine(this, "tag1",0, Brushes.Green);

When you're passing 64500 its drawing a line 645000 bars Ago.

If you wanted a line drawn at a specific time each day, say 9AM, you could use the following,

if (Times[0][0].TimeOfDay == new TimeSpan(08,00, 0))
Draw.VerticalLine(this, "tag1"+CurrentBar, 0, Brushes.Green);

Notice I amend "Tag1" with the current bar, so the same line is not redrawn on each call but a new line is created.

See draw.vertical line section of our HG:

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Hello, for some reason with my ninja trader 8 code, no matter what Draw.VerticleLine or Draw.Line is called, it only draws a single verticle line on the last bar of the chart. It doesn't draw any other lines. So if there is a condition met then draw a verticle line. It draws one time even when the condition is met. Always on the very last bar on the chart.

Draw.Line("My vertical line2" + CurrentBar, 0, Color.Cyan, DashStyle.Dash, 3);

Draw.Line(this, "tag1", false, 0, 1000, 0, 1001, Brushes.LimeGreen, DashStyleHelper.Dot, 2);

if (Times[0][0].TimeOfDay == new TimeSpan(08,00, 0))
Draw.VerticalLine(this, "tag1"+CurrentBar, 0, Brushes.Green);

Draw.VerticalLine(this, "someOtherfib", k, Brushes.Blue);

Draw.VerticalLine(this, "someOtherfib", CurrentBar, Brushes.Blue);

Any thoughts as to why this would happen.
My only idea is that it may be related to:

if (BarsInProgress != 0)
return;

Looks like you may be using the name "tag1" for each line, so you are only getting one line. Change the name to something like ("tag" + CurrentBar) to get unique line names.

Yes, thank you Zigfried! That fixed it.
I used: Draw.VerticalLine(this, "tag1"+CurrentBar, 0, Brushes.Brown); //works excellent on NT8
