Hello mate41,

Thanks for your post.

What you describe here is possible, but custom programming is required. If you are not a programmer, any of the NinjaScript consultants listed at the following link could code this project for you: https://www.ninjatrader.com/partners...pt-Consultants

Hi Kyle,
The intention is to create an indicator for that. I don't (as an old C/Assembler programmer) need any consultant and only need the entry/exit price/variable points.
I joined NT in aug 2011 so can't know everything about NT at now

Ah, how nice to see someone else who had to know what the hardware was doing.

In this case, you just need the DrawLine() method.

Thanks koganam,
for drawing a line we have to know from where to where, exact? So, the "from where" is the entry-point of a trade ande the "to where" is the exit point of the trade. These points (price) are displayd on the chart when a trade is done, so they could be accessed, do it ?
Maybe what i want is already available on NT, i don't know : " a line drawed from the entry-point to the exit-point of a trade on the chart".

Accessing trade details is possible in a NinjaScript strategy only but this feature (draw lines between entries and exits) is already available there.

There's unfortunately no way to access trade information programatically, unless you're accessing from within the specific strategy instance that generated them. .

Thanks RyanM,
if i understand, that line could only be there on a strategy, not on a manually trade ?

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

Yes, exactly, but then drawing between executions is already available in a strategy with no additional code required.

RyanM,
this is very strange, do not work for me. See attached shots.
Sorry, "TextandMarker" In an ATM strategy.

These lines are only available in a NinjaScript strategy, not an ATM strategy.
