Draw text not plotting correctly

[vegasfoster]

Hi,

I am trying create a simple indicator that also marks the bar size on top of each bar using the following code:

double Rangesize = Math.Round(High[0]-Low[0],2)*100;
string Rangeoutput = Rangesize.ToString();

DrawText("BarSize",Rangeoutput,0,High[0]+10*TickSize,Color.Black);

But it is only plotting on the right most bar, and after scrolling right then back left it doesn't even show there, i.e. it only shows once then disappears until I scroll right to the next bar that I haven't looked at yet.

I've done this a couple times before using 6.5 and it worked no problem and I can't see from reading the help that anything is wrong. Thanks for any help.

vegasfoster, you just update one drawing object all the time, hence you see no history of those -

Thanks for responding so quick, I don't understand what you mean without looking at the example, but I am getting this error when I try to import. Thank you.

You can also take a look here - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verview28.html
Basically you want to use unique tag id's for each draw object to see the history of objects displayed.

For the import error, please follow those steps here to see where your present files create compile issues -
