Arrows not showing on Indicator Panel

[Lost Trader]

I am trying to draw Arrows on the Indicator Panel.
DrawOnPricePanel= false; in the Initialize() method, and is never touched again. I am well aware of NT's problems with that function. This indicator writes to the indicator panel only. In addition to this section of code, lines & text are produced and they do appear correctly. The output window shows exactly where the cross-overs were detected and is correct.

Unfortunately the Arrows NEVER show. I also tried Triangles -- they never plotted either.

tagX = "X"+CurrentBar.ToString(); 
            if ( wERG[0]<wHIST[0] && wERG[1]>wHIST[1] ) // Mark triangle up
            {
                pX = wERG[0]-5;
                DrawArrowUp(tagX, true, CurrentBar, pX, Color.Black); 
                Print(header+" ERG fell over Hist  @ "+pX.ToString("###.##")+" on Bar "+CurrentBar+" at "+Time[0].ToString("MM/dd HH:mm:ss"));
            }
            else if ( wERG[0]>wHIST[0] && wERG[1]<wHIST[1] ) // Mark triangle down
            {
                pX = wERG[0]+5;
                DrawArrowDown(tagX, true, CurrentBar, pX, Color.Black); 
                Print(header+" ERG rose over Hist @ "+pX.ToString("###.##")+" on Bar "+CurrentBar+" at "+Time[0].ToString("MM/dd HH:mm:ss"));
            }

tagX is a string, p1 is a double, and the wERG & wHIST are DataSeries.

So what's going on?

It looks like your problem might be the way that you are calculating pX. How do you know that the arrow is not simply drawing too far away for you to see? As a first step, as I do not know how the function is calculated, or what its resultant values are, draw the arrow at what I presume is the crossover point. ie., try pX = wERG[0], and see if the arrow shows up. If it does, that validates my surmise.

I did try that. No dice. No arrows either. Thank you, koganam, for the suggestion.

And I verified that the histogram has a final trough well below the cross-over, the arrow would be on the chart. Scrunched it anyway just to make sure. I checked several locations far back on the chart (one advantage of printing a list).

One thing I did not try was using the alternate draw expression (time vs bar) because bar is more direct, I thought. I am actually getting that desperate, but I still think NT has a problem.

You would need to change to bar you are drawing at to 0 instead of CurrentBar. This would cause your arrows to be drawn zero bars back. All of your arrows are now drawing at the first bar of your chart.

DrawArrowUp(tagX, true, 0, pX, Color.Black);

Bingo! Thank you, edanny!

such a rookie mistake...
