i want draw 2 string ..in different time..

the value's string is egual...it draw in the same line...

i want to draw the second string under first Draw...

The level of draw is the same....but in the second Draw i would like to draw under the first...

To do this i'll know size of First string and to sum value in the second...?

Or there is another method?

Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, string text, int barsAgo, double y)

Double Y is a level to draw it....but i can't to change it because every symbols have its own scale

Hello turbofib,

A few choices you have would be to use math to figure out a distance based on the TickSize value. The lower the tick size (smaller decimal value) the more it spaces the objects out by picking a price further away (increasing the number of ticks the text box will be drawn from the bar).

Or you could make an input for the user to set for the number of ticks from the bar the text will be drawn.

Either choice would be for setting the y value.

Ok..but the problem is when i stretch vertical the chart...

Look at examples :

Hello turbofib,

If you are trying to have a text box automatically move to a new price level when adjusting the scale so that it stays in view, this is going to require very complicated code.

You will need to override the Plot method which is not documented in the NinjaTrader help guide. The Plot method provides actual x and y values on the chart. You would need to find a new price level based on the top and bottom of the chart.

(If you wanted to choose a y value without this being placed to an actual price level, you would no longer be able to use DrawText() and instead you would need to use the graphics library to create your own text.)

Below is a link to another forum thread where a community member has posted helpful unsupported code for coverting a y value to a price
