Drawing on the Y-Axis

[frantic]

Is the any guide on how to draw on the Y-Axis using DirectDraw? I'd like to put a bar-timer on the axis like TradingView in the attached screenshot.

I know there are bar timer indicators, but I want to modify them to put the time on the axis where it is within eyeshot.

Hello frantic,

Thank you for your note.

I have attached an indicator which will set a plot value to 10 and display this with a ScaleJustification set to Overlay. This allows the plot value to be displayed on the y axis, even if its value would be outside what the price axis is showing.

You could use the attached indicator as a template for which instead of setting Value[0]=10, you would set Value[0] equal to the bar timer.

Below are two links which pull bar timer information that you could get the bar timer logic.
