    How to plot average entry within a strategy

    My exits on some positions are based on the average entry. How do I plot average entry in a strategy so I can more easily evaluate visually if it is taking the exits correctly?
    Thx!

    Hello ShruggedAtlas,
    Thanks for your post.

    Do you just want to plot some text on the chart letting you know what your average entry is?

      No i was hoping to plot a line. I'm taking mulitple positions in a trade and to reduce risk I want to close the largest position when it is at profit and reaches my avg entry. having a line plotted on the chart helps me see it when I'm evaluating the strategy

      Ok i think i might have figured it out:

      Draw.HorizontalLine(this,@"Accumulation1 Horizontal Line",false,Position.AveragePrice,Brushes.Green,Da shStyleHelper.Solid,2);

      Seems to work - I hope this is helpful for anyone trying to accomplish this.

        Glad you got it figured out, but that is an NT8 method. I was under the assumption that you were working in NT7. For anyone that wants the NT7 way:

        Code:
        protected override void OnPositionUpdate(IPosition position)
        {
        	DrawHorizontalLine("tag", Position.AvgPrice, Color.Green);
        }
