Strategy: Removing draw objects from the chart

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Drawing objects can be used for a number of different purposes, like keeping track of where a strategy has its entry point, profit target, and stop loss. If a strategy draws an object(s) for every trade it takes, the chart could quickly become cluttered. This sample will show how to remove the objects that aren't necessary anymore.

NOTE: This is a real-time only strategy. Please view this strategy on a real-time data connection or the Simulated Data Feed.

Key concepts in this example:

• Drawing lines at the price where the orders are that extend for the duration of the trade
• Removing those lines when the trade is over
