Horizontal line with text value

[deanldavis475]

Am looking for an indicator that would add the text value of the horizontal line just above and to the right of the line. Anyone know of such an animal??
Thanks

Hi Dean,

Thanks for your reply.

You posted in the NT7 forums so I assumed NT7.

There is a NT8 version here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...d=7&linkid=769

Hello,

I need to draw the price for a horizontal line (line from a script, not manually drawn!) at the y-axis but I can not find in helpguide nor in the forum (maybe inaccurate keyword from me) how to do for having this on the right side where price is shown.

Thank you!
Tony

Below is a link to the labels for horizontal lines indicator.

Hello Chelsea,

thank you for your reply. Sorry that I did not write "I know there are 3 or more indicators showing the price of a horizontal line to download" because that link you posted is in many threads.

I translate and ask different: I need to get the price from a horizontal line that is drawn by conditions in a script, and modified by conditoins in a script to show this price on price axis.
(the indicators from the ninjatraderecosystem do not help me to work with in the code).

I´m trying to get a solution and joined my code with constant lines (as they are plotted on price-axis). So its simply coding the value from my conditions and plotting the line with that value but I still have only the line and I do not have the price on price-axis. I cant find the difference to the constant lines indicator to understand why this indicator plots price on price axis.

I also found this thread, but this plot also is not shown in price-axis: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...to-nt7-version

Thank you!
Tony

Hello Tony,

Unfortunately, it is not supported by NinjaTrader to render in the price margin.

Only plot markers will show here.

You can use AddPlot() and set the Value and this will place a marker at that price in the price margin.

Hello,

thank you for your reply. When adding referring the link and for testing purposes in onbarupdate eg Value[0]=Close[0]-10*TickSize(to see the price there and not hidden by black pricemarker); then it plots the line at the close, but the price doesnt show in the price-axis(?)

Thank you!

Hello tonynt, thanks for your reply.

I am getting a price market by default with my test plot. In the Indicator setup menu of your indicator, do you have "Price Marker(s)" enabled?

[tonynt]

Hello,

thank you for your reply. I have added it in the code of my strategy where I need it. Not in an indicator.

Thank you!

Hello tonynt, thanks for your reply.

It looks like plots added through a strategy will not produce a price marker. You would need to create a separate indicator that performs the logic and add that indicator to your strategy using AddChartIndicator.

Hello,

from another thread about this topic I found the "SampleStrategyPlot". When I modify this sample, save it and compile it then I get an error message when compiling like "implicitly conversion NinjaTraderNinja.ScriptStrategies "NewNameSampleStrategyPlot" in "NinjaTrader.NinjaScriptStrategies.SampleStrat egyP lot" is not possible."

I have no idea what this means. Usually one can save a script with another name for doing modifications for not destroying the original script by changes in the code. But when I save the SampleStrategyPlot eg with SampleStrategyPlotV11 for doing modifications there then appears the error message.

Thank you!
Tony

Hi tonynt, thanks for your reply.

The SampleOverlayPlot and SamplePanelPlot indicators have a property that is meant to be the original strategy:

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies.SampleStrategyP lot Strategy
{
get;set;
}

You must also make a copy of "SamplePanelPlot" and "SampleOverlayPlot" and change the "Strategy" property type from "SampleStrategyPlot" to whatever you named the new file.

Kind regards.
