And how to draw a rectangle no on chart exactly, but in separate indicator window (New Panel)?

Hello agafon2,

This would require overloading the Plot method which we would not be able to support, but you may view the source code of the "CustomPlotSample" Indicators and see how they are drawing the box. There is comments to help understand what is being done as well. To view the source code of the "CustomPlotSample" indicator you may go to Tools -> Edit NinjaScript -> and double click on the "CustomPlotSample".

Look up DrawOnPricePanel() in NT Help.

This code doesn't work:

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            DrawOnPricePanel = false;
            Overlay = false;
            CalculateOnBarClose = false;            
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
          if(Historical) {
            DrawRectangle("1"+CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 1, 0, 0, 0.2, Color.Red, Color.Empty, 0);
          }
            //DrawRectangle("2"+CurrentBar.ToString(), false, 1, 0.2, 0, 0.4, Color.Red, Color.Empty, 0);
            //DrawRectangle("3"+CurrentBar.ToString(), false, 1, 0.4, 0, 0.6, Color.Red, Color.Empty, 0);
            //DrawRectangle("4"+CurrentBar.ToString(), false, 1, 0.4, 0, 0.6, Color.Red, Color.Empty, 0);
            
            // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
            // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
        }

Why?

How to get this text? Is it in Log window or not?

The logs show what the issue is, if any. If you have to resize the columns in order to read the text, then that is what you have to do, though actually on my screen, the text of the logged message is already, and has always been, the largest column.
