DrawTextFixed

Hello Matheusfx,

Thanks for your post.

In NinjaTrader7 it would be possible through the Plot Override method to draw text on the chart. Regrettably in NinjaTrader7, this method override is not documented so I cannot provide examples. You could look at the example indicator "CustomPlotSample" in your NinjaTrader which provide code examples and comments on what the sections do.

What about NT8?

Hello Matheusfx,

Thanks for your reply.

In NinjaTrader8 you could use the OnRender() method which is well documented in the help guide.

If you have further NinjaTrader8 questions, please create a new forum topic under NinjaTrader8 as this thread is a NinjaTrader7 forum.

I needed this for my system today, so just sharing a code snipper if someone is looking for a simple "one liner". It only has one flaw - wide bottom margin just to offset it from the other text. But I found it convenient just to use a single Draw.TextFixed() statement and organize everything in it.

            Draw.TextFixed(this, "Labels",
            "EMA1 = " + (EMA1[0]) +
            "\nEMA2 = " + (EMA2[0]) +
            "\nEMA3 = " + (EMA3[0]) +
            "\n",
            TextPosition.BottomLeft,
            ChartControl.Properties.ChartText,
            ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont, Brushes.Black, Brushes.Black, 50);​

this is what it looks like on the chart:
