Right Side Margin

[hir04068]

hello,
can we write text or draw any object which can remain in the fixed spot within the "right side margin" area?

Hello hir04068,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, using OnRender, you would be able to render objects that could remain in the right side margin.

The margin can be adjusted in OnRender() using ChartControlProperty BarMarginRight:

You could specify a certain margin size programmatically and then render your desired object in that space.

For an example of using OnRender, look at the built in indicator "SampleCustomRender.cs" which contains many comments on the methods/properties used to create its drawing.

Certain other indicators, such as Pivots and ZigZag also contain/use OnRender and would give you good examples as well.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Hello hir04068,

Thank you for your reply.

I didn't see one that would be publicly available for free from our User App Share, but you might want to double check:

You might also try a general internet search for "drawing tool lock NinjaTrader 8" or something similar as there may be a third party vendor that offers such an add-on.

Also, as I mentioned on your other post, I can also have our Business Development team provide you with information on third party NinjaScript consultants who would be happy to create such a script for you if you like.
