??? Paint the line when the slope changes... Strategy Bulider NT8

[Mykro]

Hello,

I have posted the formula that detects the slope change in a line using the Momentum indicator.. It works great.. Except for one thing
But it won't paint a Line.. Or an an Up Arrow... Why..??

I can get it to paint a region nicely though.. But when I try to paint a line it won't...

Momentum(LinReg(Close,Convert.Toint32(LinRblue)), 1)[0]>0
Draw.Line(this,@"SlopeColorLine_1"_false, 0, 0, 0, Brushless.Blue, DashStyleHelper.Solid,2);

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your post.

In the Draw.Line() method the parameters appear to be incorrect, you would need a start bars ago, a start price, an end bar ago and an end price, all I see are 3 zeros.
Reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...?draw_line.htm
Using the example in the help guide: Draw.Line(this, "tag1", false, 10, 1000, 0, 1001, Brushes.LimeGreen, DashStyleHelper.Dot, 2); 10 is the StartBarsAgo, 1000 is the StartY (price), 0 is the endBarsAgo. and 1001 is the EndY(Price)

In the case of an up arrow, likely you are not specifying the price to place the arrow at.
Reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...aw_arrowup.htm
Using the example in the help guide: Draw.ArrowUp(this, "tag1", true, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Brushes.Red); 0 is the Barsago, Low[0]-Ticksize is the Y value (Price) to place the up arrow at (the low of the current bar minus 1 tick.

Paul,

I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge on the subject. . It's all gibberish to me... I'm a bit foggy on what it is I'm supposed to input.. I'd do much better with an example screen shot from the Actions window within Strategy Builder..

Hello Mykro,

Thanks for your reply.

Perhaps this short video on adding arrows and changing tag names will help: https://Paul-ninjaTrader.tinytake.co...A4M184NTkwOTg3

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your reply.

Just to clarify, these videos are for educational purposes only and do not imply that what is shown will be a successful strategy, they only intend to provide the "how to" do something specific. As always we would advise careful evaluation and testing on a simulation account.

Paul,

No worries.. I understand... I'm not going to build that example per say anyway...
I'm going to use those techniques you showed in the video for something different..

I've built about 90% of Pablo Maglio's (theindicatorstore.com) "Do it yourself" videos from his youtube channel just for the sake lof "learning" on how to do it...
I haven't traded a dime yet in the market anyway since I installed Ninjatrader 8 back in May..
Your Tiny Takes videos go a long way in answering questions that would otherwise be answered with something too technical one would have to read about an decipher..
A visual representation with an explanation is the only way to learn anything especially when it comes to programming...

Thank You
Michael
