Drawing on the chart Market Delta blocks
I would like to know how do you go about doing the spacing and drawing of the data as seen in the snapshot.

Hello,
Thank you for the question.
I believe what you see in the image is using the Plot override which is where you can draw basically whatever you want to. I believe that because the background boxes are not a single color, the DrawText would only be able to draw a single color background.
If you are looking for the ability to draw what you want you would need to use the Plot override. There is an example of this included with the platform called CustomPlotSample. In the Misc region it shows how to use this override for drawing.
Using DrawText, you can get similar results but if this is something that will keep adding to the chart, it would likely slow down after X amount of DrawText objects have been placed on the chart. This is another reason to use the Plot override for this type of drawing for efficiency.
I look forward to being of further assistance.JesseNinjaTrader Customer Service
