Drawing A Price Marker to the right of the last bar

[KhaosTrader]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to make a price marker that will present itself to the right of the bar... Here is an attempt, with issues (code is in OnBarUpdate.. I know i shouldn't create the font each time it fires, but this is just an example..)

	NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.SimpleFont MarkerFont = new NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.SimpleFont("WingDings 3", 12)
            {
                Size = 31, 
                Bold = true
            };
			Draw.Text(this, "PriceMarker", true, "t", Time[0].AddHours(1),  Close[0], 0, Brushes.Cyan, MarkerFont, TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);

This works fine on an hourly chart, but not well on a tick chart. Of course, on time based charts I figure I must determine the time frame of the chart and move the Time[0] forward to the time duration of a given bar. However, on tick charts, it wont be feasible, hence I am asking for a better solution, if you have one.

Thank you.

Use the overload that uses barsAgo, and use a negative bar index for the start of your text object.
