Draw Text above the high of the bar

[Winnie]

I would like to calculate the net change of the bar (Close[0] - Close[1]) and put the result above the high of the bar. Is this possible ?

Thanks

Hi Winnie, yes this is possible. You can use the DrawText method for this and then choose something like High[0] + TickSize as you y value - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H.../DrawText.html

Thanks for your help. I have written the following code but does not show anything.
double NetChange = (Close[0] - Close[1];
if (CurrentBar < 3)
return;
DrawText("CurrentBar","NetChange",0,High[0] + (TickSize *50),Color.Red");

Would you point out my mistake ?
Thanks

Please try this -

[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]if[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2] (CurrentBar < 1[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]) [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]return[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2];[/SIZE]
 
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]double[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2] netChange = (Close[[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]] - Close[[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]1[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]]);[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=2]DrawText([/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000]"CurrentBar"[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2], netChange.ToString(), [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2], High[[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]] + (TickSize *[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]2[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]), Color.Red);[/SIZE][/SIZE]

Also with such a high TickSize multiplier it would easily become invisible because you place it too high then.

thanks ! it works now. I know my mistake ! I need to change the double net change value to string type by using the .ToString() method.

[Winnie]

Hi ! I find it works well but it only show the net change above the current bar, could I change it and make it show on every bar.
Thanks

Winnie,

Change your string ID to a unique ID.

DrawText(CurrentBar.ToString(), ....)

[Winnie]

Perfect ! it works very well and you are very helpful
