Looks good so far. As you mentioned already, you could now incorporate your own font-definition according to the code-snippet posted by Josh.

Thanks Ralph, yes please use the overload provided in post 10 by Josh and it should work.

[jojotrader]

Bit hard for me, could you give me a hint or small example?

Thanks for the help,

Johan

You could copy the following example to your code and go through the parameters with Intellisense to see what the purpose is.

Hi jojotrader, you will need the second syntax from this link - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H.../DrawText.html

All the needed parameters for the call are explained below it as well.

[jojotrader]

I gave it up guys, If anyone is able to adjust the ninjapriceaction indicator to have BOLD text, be my guest.

For now, I stop looking, my head is almost looking tomato..

Thanks,

Johan

Zipfile in first post.....

Thanks,

I was able to compile for now...
Text looking strange with ivory background, but I should be able to do that trick myself,

I let you know...

Thanks,

Johan

[jojotrader]

Well well well,

Looks almost perfect except for the one tick lagging...
In example you see old indicator (regular font )
New is in bold, sure...

One little tweak could make this 100%

Already very thankfull.

Johan

[Ralph]

The reason for the offset is most likely caused by the StringAlignment parameter. The choises available are: Far, Center, Near. Don't know what that exactly means but you will find that out.

Glad to see you got your tomatos rolling.

Regards
Ralph

[jojotrader]

Yep,

This is it man, changed to center did the trick.


DrawText("LL" + CurrentBar, "LL", barsback, Low[barsback] - toffset, Color.Red, textFont, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Empty, Color.Gray, 5);

Thanks again,

an thanks again..

Hi Johan,

2 final thought:

• The last parameter (5) is the opacity, it is a value between 1 and 10. At one side your text appears dense, at the other side quite transparent. I don't remember which side was what.
• In case you are not aware of: To define your textFont instance you do not need to define a related property. That makes sense only if you realy would like to see the font in the properties-window for modification purpose.

Regards
Ralph

[jojotrader]

It is set and I'm able to change Font in properties,

very nice.


Thanks, and have a good day.

Johan

[jojotrader]

Really working well with that indicator, but...

I like to have a red dot, above or below, the FIRST LH occuring after a series of HH and LH's...vice versa for first HL after a series of LL and LH...

If that's possible, than I'm very thankfull.
I could move that to another indicator...


Johan

[Ralph]

Hi Johan,

store the values for HH and LL as they occure:

double LastHH;
double LastLL;

if this bar is HH then: LastHH = High[0];
if this bar is LL then: LastLL = Low[0];

If your conditions for LH or HL are met draw the dots accordingly:

if this bar is LH then: DrawDot("LH" + CurrentBar, false, 0, LastHH, Color.Red);
if this bar is HL then: DrawDot("HL" + CurrentBar, false, 0, LastLL, Color.Red);

Ralph
