draw commands mix both time and bar

[ct]

If I draw a text or draw object at a specific time what is the best way to draw a second object so it will be in the next bar of the chart after the first object I just drew?

I want the indicator to be independent of the chart time frame so the objects are drawn correct. I was using the bar number and that made it easy but now I am using time so I don't have a constant anymore.

Do I need to determine the chart time frame and compute the object's destination time?

ct,

If you are using datetime here you would need to compute the correct times yourself unfortunately.

This has some useful methods for adding / subtracting time from some time frame : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr....datetime.aspx

Otherwise, you could use the drawing object override that uses the "BarsAgo" property instead.
