Indicator with DrawTextFixed Output

[koganam]

Thanks for your comment Koganam, you're absolutely correct.
This was actually intended, as the " High[0] is equal to High[1]" condition is the only condition in my strategy where the tag can REMAIN on the chart (after the bar has closed and the new one opens).

I'm still looking for an easier way to code this though, as the thing I'm really trying to achieve is the following:

If strategy conditions are met (on 10 min chart): draw tag on chart
Once current 10 min bar has closed (and thus signal is no longer valid): remove tag
If conditions are met again on another 10 min bar: draw tag
etc.

It sounds embarassingly easy but I wasn't able to code it so far.

Thanks

What is the COBC setting?

RyanM,

Thanks a lot for that, it works great.
One last question: is there a way to remove those tags MANUALLY as well?
My strategy also draws small arrows on the chart and I can remove them manually whenever I need to, but with the tags it doesn't work

Thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated.

You can set in your strategies Initialize() method:AllowRemovalOfDrawObjects = true;
It will allow manual removal of these.

I understand what you're saying and I obviously don't doubt it, but it is strange then that I'm able to remove the small arrows that my strategy generates since they're obviously also attached to the strategy (and the strategy remains enabled although I remove arrows from time to time).

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

Do you mean the plot executions when strategy fills orders? There is a UI control for this, but this is not related at all to drawing objects placed by strategy code.

If you mean something different, I'm happy to give your strategy a run here to see what the differences may be.

RyanM,

I don't mean plot executions but arrows that are drawn by my custom strategy when there's a trading signal (as per my conditions).

You can replicate this with the following sample code (AllowRemovalOfDrawObjects is set to true).
Instead of my own conditions I simply use a green candle as the signal to draw an arrow:

if (Close[0] >Open[0]
{
DrawArrowUp("Long" + CurrentBar, false, 0, Low[0]- 2*(TickSize), Color.Black);
}

Once the arrow is drawn you can remove it without removing the strategy.
The same thing doesn't work though with DrawTextFixed and its tags.

Thanks

I see - thanks for the reply. I had overlooked that property AllowRemovalOfDrawObjects, and it looks to do exactly what you want. I've corrected previous post for accuracy - thanks again.

[laocoon]

Thanks RyanM. It is a pity though that the same process doesn't work with objects that were drawn with the DrawTextFixed command. This would be a feature request on my side.

Thanks
