DrawText in 2nd Panel above volume bar

[tacticaltrader]

Hi,

Using and modifying the VolumeUpDown indicator....

The indicator is in a new Panel...Panel 2

I want to write text above each volume bar and eventually under certain conditions...

My code is this....

protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Lime, 2), PlotStyle.Bar, "UpVolume"));
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Red, 2), PlotStyle.Bar, "DownVolume"));
Add(new Line(Color.DarkGray, 0, "Zero line"));
}

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
if (Close[0] >= Open[0])
{
Values[0].Set(Volume[0]);
Values[1].Reset();
cntrGreen=cntrGreen + 1; //Declared variable earlier
cntrRed=0;

// Draw number above Volume bar.
DrawText("Volume" + CurrentBar,false,cntrGreen.ToString(),0,Volumebar?,0,Color.Blue,new Font("Arial",7,FontStyle.Regular),
StringAlignment.Center,Color.Empty,Color.Blue,5);


}
else
{
Values[1].Set(Volume[0]);
Values[0].Reset();
cntrRed=cntrRed + 1;
cntrGreen=0;
}

I'm not sure how to access the Panel2 to write the text above the completed volume bar?


Help would be appreciated

Thanks
Bruce

Hello tacticaltrader,

Indicators can only be applied to 1 panel at a time. To have it default to its own panel, can set Overlay property to false.

They can draw in either their own panel or the price panel. This is controlled with DrawOnPricePanel property. Set that to false if you want it to draw in the indicator panel.
