Hello,

Thanks for the forum post!

This would need to be done in the scripting for the indicator.

This can be added in with the following DrawText() command.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

            Plot0.Set(Lows[1][0]);
            Plot1.Set(Lows[2][0]);
            Plot2.Set(Lows[3][0]);
            Plot4.Set(Lows[4][0]);
            //------------------------
            Plot5.Set(Highs[1][0]);
            Plot6.Set(Highs[2][0]);
            Plot7.Set(Highs[3][0]);
            Plot8.Set(Highs[4][0]);
                DrawText("tag1", "D P", 0, Lows[1][0], Color.Black);
                DrawText("tag2", "D R1", 0, Lows[2][0], Color.Black);
                DrawText("tag3", "D S1", 0, Lows[3][0], Color.Black);
                DrawText("tag4", "D R2", 0, Lows[4][0], Color.Black);
                DrawText("tag5", "D S2", 0, Highs[1][0], Color.Black);
                DrawText("tag6", "D R3", 0, Highs[2][0], Color.Black);

I try to use this code to draw lines and text.
I try to draw high and low of previos bar.

But chart is empty.
I add this construction for stability. Because it was writen in manual.

            if (CurrentBar < 1)
                {
        return;
                }

Hello,

Are you getting any errors in the log tab in the control center.

Also this code would end up with text on the last bar of the chart only is this what you intend?

Also if I understand your code right you have 5 data series in total? Can I see code in Initialize()?

        {
            Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
            Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Green), PlotStyle.Square, "Plot1"));
            Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkViolet), PlotStyle.TriangleRight, "Plot2"));
            Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Firebrick), PlotStyle.TriangleLeft, "Plot4"));
            //---------------
                        Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Blue), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot5"));
            Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Brown), PlotStyle.Square, "Plot6"));
            Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Magenta), PlotStyle.TriangleRight, "Plot7"));

            Add("6E 12-11", PeriodType.Minute, 60);
            Add("6E 12-11", PeriodType.Minute, 240);
            Add("6E 12-11", PeriodType.Minute, 1440);
            Add("6E 12-11", PeriodType.Day, 5);
//Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name
            Overlay                = true;
        }

     
  
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {

                if (CurrentBar < 1)
                {
        return;
                }
            Plot0.Set(Lows[1][0]);
            Plot1.Set(Lows[2][0]);
            Plot2.Set(Lows[3][0]);
            Plot4.Set(Lows[4][0]);
            //------------------------
            Plot5.Set(Highs[1][0]);
            Plot6.Set(Highs[2][0]);
            Plot7.Set(Highs[3][0]);
            Plot8.Set(Highs[4][0]);
                DrawText("tag1", "D P", 0, Lows[1][0], Color.Black);
                DrawText("tag2", "D R1", 0, Lows[2][0], Color.Black);
                DrawText("tag3", "D S1", 0, Lows[3][0], Color.Black);
                DrawText("tag4", "D R2", 0, Lows[4][0], Color.Black);
                DrawText("tag5", "D S2", 0, Highs[1][0], Color.Black);
                DrawText("tag6", "D R3", 0, Highs[2][0], Color.Black);
    
        }

It's all source code.

-Brett

it's picture from another terminal, and I am rewriting ready made indicator for nt7.
I have white background at nt7 chart.
Please give me advise how to draw 4 lines along last 10 bars with values of low price from hour time frame, 4 hours, 1 day and 1 week. What is the main trouble in my code?

Hello,

When I run your code on my side I get the following in the log:

11/29/2011 7:28:21 AM Default Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method for indicator 'MTFCurrentHL' on bar 1: You are accessing an index with a value that is invalid since its out of range. I.E. accessing a series [barsAgo] with a value of 5 when there are only 4 bars on the chart.


I had to add a CurrentBars check since just CurrentBar is not good enough for MTF.

I then had another problem since you skiped Plot3 that I had to resolve as well, please see the revised code that works in this .cs file.

Hello,

How many days of data are you loading? I have to load upwards of 20 days since you are loading a 5 day chart series you need at least 10 days of data for anything to plot.

Did it works correctly on your computer? Please attach screen of your chart with working indicator. I try to load as much history as it's posible.
