drawing text

[jhill]

In order to reveal some of what’s going on in my Strategy, I’d like to Draw Text at the bottom of each bar, for every Bar on my Chart. It looks like the DrawText() method could work, I’m not sure how draw the text at the bottom of the bar. Is this possible and if so how?

Thanks,

jhill

Hi jhill,

To draw on chart there is: DrawText() and DrawTextFixed(), as we discussed by email. In the future please post to the forum only rather than send in duplicate request by email and forum.

DrawText draws where you tell it to. The position on the chart is the Y parameter. If you want to draw below every bar, draw at an offset of Low like: Low[0] - TickSize * 20.

DrawText("myText" + CurrentBar, "someText", 0, Low[0] - TickSize * 20, Color.Black);
