How to show time period of chart

[michelle99]

Hi there,

I use the below line of code in an indicator to display a chart's Session Template. Could anyone please tell me what code I could add to this indicator to show the chart's time period. For example "(1 min)" or "(8 Range)"?

..
[COLOR=Red]DrawTextFixed("myText", Bars.Session.TemplateName, TextPosition.TopRight);[/COLOR]

Thank-you
Michelle

Hello michellepace,

Thanks for your post.

Here is an example that also includes the instrument full name:

DrawTextFixed("myText", Bars.Session.TemplateName+"\n"+Instrument.FullName+" "+BarsPeriod.Value+" "+BarsPeriod.BasePeriodType, TextPosition.TopRight);

The "\n" is used to create a new line below the session template name.

On a CL 07-17 2 minute chart, here is an example of the output:

Nymex Metals / Energy ETH
CL 07-17 2 Minute
