Text indicator

[kiss987]

Is there a way that my indicator instead of having some sort of shape (Hash, square, etc.) will be a text which i can determine its value?

Thank in advance

Hello kiss987,

You may use the DrawText() and DrawFixedText() to be able to draw text on your chart using an Indicator.

Hello chema2200,

Thank you for your post.

Below is a simple example of displaying the text of the 14 period ATR on the bottom right of the chart:

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			DrawTextFixed("ATR", ATR(14)[0].ToString(), TextPosition.BottomRight);
        }

Please let me know if you have any questions.

thank you so much.

I have inserted inside the the ATR indicator code but I can´t see the results on the charts...Do you know what is wrong?
thank you again for your help.

....
/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar == 0)
Value.Set(High[0] - Low[0]);
else
{
DrawTextFixed("ATR", ATR(14)[0].ToString(), TextPosition.BottomRight);
double trueRange = High[0] - Low[0];
trueRange = Math.Max(Math.Abs(Low[0] - Close[1]), Math.Max(trueRange, Math.Abs(High[0] - Close[1])));
Value.Set(((Math.Min(CurrentBar + 1, Period) - 1 ) * Value[1] + trueRange) / Math.Min(CurrentBar + 1, Period));
}
}

Hello chema2200,

Thank you for your response.

Have you compiled the indicator since adding the change to the code? Right click in the NinjaScript Editor and select Compile.

I would recommend creating a new indicator with the original ATR's code and just add in the code I referred to.

Yes, I did it. Now I cannot open the platform...
