Howdy.

I have a need to draw box(with a drawing tool), on the chart, but I want to extend the box to the right to infinity. I would also like to be able to cut this box and stop it from extended to the right when I want.

Right now in NT, there is the rectangle, and region highlight x.

The highlight x extends to infinity in both directions.

The rectangle obviously has limits on the right. And to make it do what I want, I'd have to continually extend it.

Does anyone know of any add-on tools that do what I want?

If not, I'll just have to make due with the rectangle.

FP

my Indicator does this (go to 6:47 to see how to limit your rectangle from extending)

I don't do Ninja, but TradingView will let you draw a rectangle on your chart and extend to infinity.
