clearing text from .TopRight

[ssylwester]

This code works ok initially. But when i change the text later (same tag), some of this text remains, and the new text partially covers it up, making it unreadable. How do i clear it?


{ DrawTextFixed("Status", "OK to trade"+"\n" +myMktPosition, TextPosition.TopRight);

That should not happen if you are using the same tag. Are you sure you are not calling it in another location with some more drawing elsewhere? Maybe even a different tag?

What you can try is calling RemoveDrawObject() prior to the second call and see if you can clear it out that way.

Still having a problem removing the old draw object.. both draw objects are superimposed, I would expect when i hit <f5> to restart the strategy, the old object should be deleted
v 7.,01
The following code is in OnStartUp
RemoveDrawObject("BLStatus");
statusBL = plFactor+" "+myAtmML;
//DrawTextFixed("BLStatus", statusBL, TextPosition.BottomLeft);
DrawTextFixed("BLStatus", statusBL, TextPosition.BottomLeft, Color.White, FontMed, Color.Yellow, Color.White, 0);

It does not matter which of the 2 DrawTextFixed statements i use, the problem of superimposed msgs remains.
BLStatus is not ref'd anywhere else in code

Hello,

Your code does not post any ghosting on my side.

Can you please let me know what version of NinjaTrader you are using this is located in the Control Center under Help->About and is to the right of the NinjaTrader logo.


I look forward to assisting you further.
