Relocating the Text in Priceonline Indicator

[ECI-Ed]

In my view, the priceonline indicator posted on the NinjaTrader forum fills a badly needed shortcoming in NinjaTrader. Unfortunately the text ends up within the field of view of the bars rather than in the right margin. So I attempted to solve this problem by adding a parameter to shift the text to the right, as illustrated in the attached code, but it doesn't work. Can someone please explain to me why it doesn't work and what I need to do so that it will work.

Thanks in advance.

JC,
Thanks for the response, but is there no way to accomplish this with the DrawText method?

DrawText will not give you the same flexibility of placing text so you would need to override Plot() if you wish to have it display in the right margin

Other examples of this within NinjaTrader are the TickCounter Indicator and Pivots Indicator.
Unfortunately we don't offer support on this method but can provide you with examples that you can reference.
