In NT8, I am having trouble with the following code, I need urgently to start manual back testing:

Code:
 
Code
Print(Message); //Hello World!
				
				foreach (DrawingTool draw in DrawObjects)
				{
					if (draw.GetType().Name == "Dot")
						{
						Print("Dot");
						Print(draw.GetType());					
						Print("Dot2");
						DrawingTools.Dot myDot = draw as DrawingTools.Dot;
						Print(myDot.Anchor.Price); 
				}
Quote:

Quoting 
Hello World!
Hello World!
Dot
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.Dot
Dot2
Strategy 'Test2': Error on calling 'OnStateChange' method: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

After Dot2 I can't get what I really need, to print (myDot.Anchor.Price)

Thanks!

Your piece of code should be in OnBarUpdate(), is it now?

Is Dot a multi anchor property (Anchor would be null and you would get that error)

Try iterating

foreach (ChartAnchor chartAnchor in myDot.Anchors)
{
Print(chartAnchor.Price);
}
