draw text on right side of visible chart area

[onnb1]

hi - if I need to draw text on a chart and I need the text to be on the far right of the chart and be visible when the chart is scrolled left or right. Can this be done?

Hello onnb1,
Yes, it can be done.

You can use the DrawTextFixed method to do it. Please refer to our help guide to know more about it http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...wtextfixed.htm

thanks but I think I wasn't completely clear. I need the text to be at a certain Y value and control that value. I am plotting lines that are horizontal and I need to label these lines. So I need to have text just above each line and stay there as the chart is scrolled.

hope this makes it more clear,

Hello onnb1,
Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, you can do this by further custom coding using C# methods and unsupported NinjaScript codes (via the Plot override method and methods in unsupported ChartControl class). Unfortunately this is beyond what we can support however you can refer to the CustomPlotSample indicator that comes with NinjaTrader to get an idea of the Plot override.

Thanks. The code in the sample helps.
