Using Draw.Ellipse

[soyjesus]

Hello,

Using Draw.TextFixed I can situate my text on the corners of the screen. How can I do it the same but using Draw.Ellipses?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello soyjesus,

Thank you for your note.

If you are looking to have an ellipse shape drawn in a fixed location on your chart no matter where you scroll, you will need to do this via custom rendering in OnRender. There is a SampleCustomRender indicator that comes with NinjaTrader by default that demonstrates how to render a fixed ellipse on a chart. You may apply this indicator to a chart to see it in action as well as open up the source code inside of the NinjaScript Editor. You could even save a copy of this indicator and modify it as needed to get a feel for how to modify the ellipse on your chart. For more information about using SharpDX for custom rendering, please see the following resources:
