no text

Edit - Ah I think I have found the error myself.
Is there no way to delete posts?

Can anyone explain what is incorrect here?

    public class VolText : Indicator
    {
        #region Variables
        // Wizard generated variables
            private int myInput0 = 1; // Default setting for MyInput0
			private	System.Drawing.Font		txtFont;
			private int	fontSize        = 10;
			private double Offset = 2;
			private DataSeries myv;
		
		
        // User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
        #endregion

        /// <summary>
        /// This method is used to configure the indicator and is called once before any bar data is loaded.
        /// </summary>
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            CalculateOnBarClose	= true;
            Overlay				= false;
            PriceTypeSupported	= false;
			txtFont		= new Font("Verdana Ref", fontSize);
			new DataSeries (this);
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
            // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
			 myv[0] = Volume[0];
			
			if(Close[0] >= Open[0])
			{
          	DrawText("HighText", false,  myv[0].ToString(), 0, High[0]+ (TickSize * Math.Abs( Offset)) ,Color.ForestGreen, txtFont, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 50);
			}
			else
			{
			DrawText("LowText", false, VOL()[0].ToString(), 0,Low[0] - (TickSize*Math.Abs( Offset)),Color.Red,  txtFont, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 50);
			}
        }

It compiles but no text is produced.

Glad you figured it out. To delete a post there should be an option when you press Edit to delete post.

deletion

No - can't see any option to delete Josh
As it turns out I haven't quite sorted it.
I now have some text which seems to produce the correct figures but I am looking to keep all historical text which it doesn't do.
Eventually I will sort out conditions for the volume display I want but this is just the beginning.

Revised indicator

Ok I now have text with volume on each bar - position defined by close vs open.
can someone assist - I want to summate all the volume as the close > open and vice versa and just print that volume rather than every bar as it is at the moment. So I end up with say 3 up close bars but one summated volume on the final up close bar.

Mindset,

To do this what you want to do is just run a variable that sums up the volume for you based on your conditions. Then when you do DrawText(), instead of using a unique tag each time with "AskText" + CurrentBar, drop the CurrentBar part. If the tag is already in use what happens is it will just overwrite the old one. That way you end up with 1 DrawText().

[Mindset]

I have tried the following

double bv = Volume[0];
do
bv = bv + Volume[0];
while (Open[0] > Close[0]);

but that just crashes the computer (twice) so where am I going wrong?

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

For sure NT will freeze/crash. You have coded an infinite loop that will never break.

[Mindset]

The open is not always > close so how can that be infinite?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

When you run that logic it is only taking one check on the current Open[0] and the current Close[0]. It doesn't cycle through the various [1] or [2]. On one OnBarUpdate() there is only one set of Open[0] > Close[0] and those values never change so that is why you have an infinite loop.
