text disappearing

[richbois]

Hi

I have this line of code in an Indicator and on some chart it appears and some it doesn't

DrawText("Session High", ("Session High " + currentHigh) , -18, currentHigh, Color.Green);

Am I missing something ????

Thank you in advance

Hello richbois,

Thanks for your post.

In your code sample it appears you are using -18 bars for the "barsAgo". A negative value puts the text 18 bars into the future which may or may not show on the chart unless you move the databack 18 + bars from the right edge. Did you mean to put it 18 bars in the past? If so then just use 18.

Yes I did want to print in the future to the right of the line that is drawn for the session high.
i reduced the futures to 10 and now it is working on regular charts.

Thank you for your help
