DrawText with Text Option in Indicator Window

[duck_CA]

I'm trying to include a Parameter in the Indicator Window that I can type Text into that will show up on Price Panel.

[FONT=Courier New]DrawText("tag1", "[COLOR=red][B]This text was written from Indicator Window[/B][/COLOR]", 10, 1000, Color.Black);[/FONT]

Not sure I follow. What indicator window are you talking about? If you mean where you set indicator parameters, just create yourself a string input and then tell it to DrawText on that string variable.

Draw Text String Variable

Yes. I was refering to Indicator Window via the Chart...

I would assume that some code is needed in the Properties region.

Kinda struggling with it right now...Maybe if I can post some code we can go from there

Thank You Josh

duck_CA,

I recommend you just use the Indicator Wizard to see what kind of code it will generate. That is the code you will need in the Properties region.

Sounds Good...Thanks

I will ask the "wizard" or is that you ? lol

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Haha. Tools->New NinjaScript->Indicator.

Draw Text in Indicator Window

I'm trying to be able and use the new "Text" Parameter so that anything that is typed will show up on the chart...

I'm I getting warmer?
