Indicator Output Box in Main Chart Window

[laocoon]

Hi

I have a few indicators on my charts but it is quite time-consuming to check all their outputs/values before taking a trade. What I'd like to do therefore is to create a little "Box" (a bit like the data box) in the main (price) panel of each chart with the current output values of all my indicators.

It should look like this:

MACD: current value here
RSI: current value here
CCI: current value here
etc.

The values should be updated on every bar close.
Are there any examples available of how to do this?

Thanks a lot.

Regards

Hi laocoon,

Yes, DrawTextFixed() is good for this.

It's pretty straightforward, and one helpful C# command is \n for a new line. You might want this so you can place each indicator on a new line.

Example:
DrawTextFixed("indicatorValues", "MACD: " + MACD(7, 21, 3)[0].ToString("N2") + "\n SMA: " + Instrument.MasterInstrument.Round2TickSize(SMA(14)[0]), TextPosition.BottomRight);

These samples can help with string and number formatting:
