Chart Price Range Displayed

[dontpanic]

Hi,

is there a way to determine the maximum and minimum price range displayed currently on the chart?

Thanks,
Will.

Hi Will, I would probably look into getting those directly from the overriden Plot / ChartControls (althought nothing directly documented here by us). A simple idea attached to get started...

Thanks Bertrand,

If I have to use plot override, wouldnt that mean I would have to write all the plotting code for my indicator? That would not really be an option.

Is there any way to get the values from ChartControls, or any other way, without doing a plot override?

thanks,
Will.

No, the base plotting could be triggered as well, so both approaches would be there. Just add

base.Plot(graphics, bounds, min, max);

to the Plot override handler...

Ok thanks,
I will give that a try,
Will.

Hi, one other problem I'm having related to this is drawing text on a new panel. I created a basic indicator to test with the following code :-

Plot0.Set(Close[0]);
DrawText("mytag","mytext",0,1372,Color.Blue); // using instrument GC

when I set the panel to "new panel" or panel 2, the plot appears on the new panel but the text appears on the price panel.

is there something extra I have to do to get the text on the new panel?

Ta,
Will.

Sorry, nevermind I discovered DrawOnPricePanel=false;
