Mouseclick wrong time and price values

[Powerbucker]

Hi,

I need get the time of a bar and price on an indicator when user clicks.

I'm triyng with this code

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
    if (State == State.SetDefaults)
    {
        Description                                    = @"Enter the description for your new custom Indicator here.";
        Name                                        = "RulerIsraIndicator";
        Calculate                                    = Calculate.OnBarClose;
        IsOverlay                                    = false;
        DisplayInDataBox                            = true;
        DrawOnPricePanel                            = true;
        DrawHorizontalGridLines                        = true;
        DrawVerticalGridLines                        = true;
        PaintPriceMarkers                            = true;
        ScaleJustification                            = NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ScaleJustification.Right;
        //Disable this property if your indicator requires custom values that cumulate with each new market data event.
        //See Help Guide for additional information.
        IsSuspendedWhileInactive                    = true;
    }
    else if (State == State.Realtime)
    {
        if (ChartControl != null)
        {
            foreach (ChartScale scale in ChartPanel.Scales)
            {
                outputLog(scale.ScaleJustification.ToString());
                if (scale.ScaleJustification == ScaleJustification)
                    chartScale = scale;
            }
            ChartControl.MouseDown += OnChartMouseDown;
            ChartControl.MouseUp += OnChartMouseUp;
        }
    }
    else if (State == State.Terminated)
    {
        if (ChartControl != null)
        {
            ChartControl.MouseDown -= OnChartMouseDown;
            ChartControl.MouseUp -= OnChartMouseUp;
        }
    }
}

private void OnChartMouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
// Detecta si el botón del medio del ratón fue presionado
    if (e.ChangedButton == MouseButton.Left && sender is ChartControl chartControl)
    {
        if (chartControl != null)
        {
            // Obtén la posición del ratón relativa al ChartPanel
            Point mousePosition = e.GetPosition(chartControl);

            // Obtén el tiempo en función de la coordenada X
            startTime = chartControl.GetTimeByX((int)mousePosition.X);

            // Obtén el precio en función de la coordenada Y (necesita la escala de precios)
            double startY = chartScale.GetValueByY( (int)mousePosition.Y);

            // Registra la información de tiempo y precio
            outputLog($"Coordenadas MouseDown: X={(int)mousePosition.X} Tiempo={startTime}, Precio={startY}");
        }
    }
}        ​
​

The values for startTime and startY always are wrong.

Any idea?

Thanks

Hello Powerbucker,

The coordinates need to be converted and you need to use TriggerCusteEvent before using Series values.

See the example below.
