Fixed plot in right margin area

[Cyph3r]

Does anyone know how to place a line/text in a fixed space on the right side margin on NT8? Meaning that as you horizontally scroll to the left, the indicator remains fixed in the extended/margin area on the right side of the chart.

I *think* the OnRender() function is the key, but I'm not sure what to do with it. https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../?onrender.htm

Thanks!

Hello Cyph3r,

While you cannot render in the price margin, you can render a line within the chart panel area on the right side.

Draw.TextFixed() will allow you to draw text in the bottom right of the chart.

OnRender() is the method run on each render pass where you can add objects to be rendered to the RenderTarget.

Create a TextLayout object and set the text in the string text parameter, then draw the text with RenderTarget.DrawTextLayout().

Included with NinjaTrader is the SampleCustomRender indicator that demonstrates how to render.

I can also provide an example that renders text.
