Looking for Drawing tools for Ninja Trader 8, would like to have a better line drawing tool for drawing trend lines. When I used Ninja Trader 7 when I drew a trend line then copied it would be on the same plain. Now in Ninja 8 I always have to square the lines up after copy. It seems I spend more time correcting lines than I spend studying the market. I have tried search function and scrolled a bit but not finding anything. If anyone ever watches Mack's Trading he has what I would like to have but free if available.

Thanks

Good morning, I can't recommend any in particular, but did you check the download section for NT indicators?
Good trades

You may want to look at NinjaTrader's "Trend Channel" tool (not Regression Channel) and see if it does what you want.

Otherwise the attached mod of NinjaTrader's built-in Line tool should paste copies right on top of the original. Is that what you have in mind?

The modified tool will appear in drawing tools menu as "Line JMAL".

 
Code
namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools
{
	public class LineJMAL : DrawingTool
	{
		public override void AddPastedOffset(ChartPanel panel, ChartScale chartScale)
		{
			foreach (ChartAnchor anchor in Anchors)
			{
                //the line's duplicated is pasted right on top of it

                //If you eventually decide you DO want an offset, look at this example on NinjaTrader's documentation pages
                // https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?addpastedoffset.htm
            }
        }
        
	protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
			base.OnStateChange();
			if (State == State.SetDefaults)
			{
				Name = "Line JMAL";
			}		
        }
	}
}

What exactly do you mean by not on the same plain? In NinjaTrader 8, copy and paste creates a duplicate line with the same slope.

Please watch this video we recorded for you demonstrating it: https://www.loom.com/share/59bf453d7979439aaa87a2addd42c00f

My lines are not square with one another when copied and pasted.
