DrawTextFixed

[Lost Trader]

This is nice; however, it has some problems that inhibit usage...

I expected it to print in the same pane as DrawText; however, it did not.
With Overlay=false, DrawText prints to the Indcator pane unfortunately DrawTextFixed prints to the price pane.

Could you fix this?

Also, it would help if I could add an adjustment to the position (like when I need to print two items, I certainly do not want them on top of one another... unless you wish to auto-adjust depending on what has already been sent to that position?

BTW, in the Price pane,
BottomLeft has interference from your copyright statement.
TopRight has interference from your white triangle
BottomRight has interference from your BarTimer.

Will look into this, not sure if there is a reason why we could not change it.

Thanks for the other suggestions.

Forgot to mention, next beta update, DrawTextFixed() is drawn over top of any other draw objects on the chart.

Hi Lost Trader !

We added support for DrawTextFixed(...) for indicator panels. This will be available with the next beta of NinjaTrader.

Kind regards,

Can someone post a simple indicator with the DrawTextFixed

Sorry, new at this. But can someone post a simple indicator with the DrawTextFixed line of code in it? I just want to put a fixed lable in the upper corner of my chart. If i am understanding correctly the NT8.5 now has DrawTextFixed. I am not sure how to put it in an indicator form yet. I learn a lot by opening an indicator and looking at the code when I am doing something very simiilar. Thanks.

Please check out this reference sample: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=3917

It used DrawTextFixed() to report the strategy position at the bottom right of the chart.
