Back to basics

[Mindset]

I get text but the chart scale goes into negative territory and becomes of no use.

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (Historical)
 return;
			
 // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
 // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
string mystr = High[1].ToString("N2");
string lowstr = Low[1].ToString("N2");
			
DrawText("tag", false,  mystr, 0, High[0] ,Color.Blue,  new Font("Verdana Ref", 9), StringAlignment.Near, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 50);
DrawText("lower", false,  lowstr, 0, Low[0],Color.Red,  new Font("Verdana Ref", 9), StringAlignment.Near, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 50);

			
}

Hello,

I pasted your code in and it works for me. See the attached screen shot.

By negative do you mean the right margin area of the chart?

You can either right click the chart>Properties, and in crease the right side margin field.

You can also increase the "0" or fourth DrawText() parameter you have to shift the drawing leftward.
