draw.text BarsInProgress ==1 on BarsInProgress =0 Bar Height

[ballboy11]

I have a list of information that I want to draw on the main chart but I need the Low of the main chart not the low on the BarsInProgress = 1 Low;

This is my line issue Bars.GetLow(Bars.GetBar(drawList[nCount].Time))


if I try to draw my drawList information when bars in progress is 0 it won't work because I need the algorithm in barsinprogress== 1 to finish.


Draw.Text(this, "MyCount" + nCount.ToString(), false, "J", drawList[nCount].Time, Bars.GetLow(Bars.GetBar(drawList[nCount].Time)) , 0, Brushes.Yellow, myFont, TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Yellow, 0);


The printing does work but my information is sometimes far away to my candle.

If I try to print when barsinprogress ==0; my info will not print on screen

Hello ballboy11,

Thanks for opening the thread.

You could use BarsArray[0] to explicitly reference the Bars object for the primary data series.

BarsArray[0].GetLow(BarsArray[0].GetBar(drawList[nCount].Time))

Publicly available documentation can be found below.

If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hello ballboy11,

Without the full context of the code I can only speculate on what the issue may be.

To assist you further I have attached some sample code demonstrating Draw.Text() being called from from BarsInProgress 1 (BIP1) with the Close from BIP1 so it is drawn in relation to the bars on BIP0.

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
	if (State == State.SetDefaults)
	{
		...
	}
	else if (State == State.Configure)
	{
		AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Second, 5);
	}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
	if(CurrentBars[0] < 1 || CurrentBars[1] < 1)
		return;
	if(BarsInProgress == 1)
	{
		Draw.Text(this, "MyCount" + CurrentBars[0].ToString(), false, Close[0].ToString(), Times[0][0], BarsArray[0].GetLow(BarsArray[0].GetBar(Times[0][0])), 10, Brushes.Green, ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont, TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Yellow, 0);
	}
}

Further information on how each price/time series should be referenced can be found in the Multi Series NinjaScript documentation which provides a complete guide for creating and using Multi Series NinjaScripts.
