[Gerik]

Hello,

is it possible to change the color of a string within Draw.TextFixed using a special sequence like \xxx?

Hello Gerik,

Thanks for you post.

No, the string within a Draw.TextFixed() can only be the color as assigned by the method or the default text color.

You can create sequences of Draw.TextFixed() where each method use can be assigned a different color. I've attached a working example of this that displays the current bar values in the upper right corner as shown in the attached picture.

Piggy-backing here, but do you have any examples of assigning the color of these text values based on some logic (if Close is higher than Open color is Green, etc.), where each line of text in your example has its own logic?

Hello EminiTrader,

Thanks for your post.

Here is an example (i modified a line in the example in post #2, mod is shown in bold

Draw.TextFixed (this, "testa1", opn+" ", TextPosition.TopRight, (Close[0] > Open[0] ? Brushes.Green : Brushes.Red), chartFont, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent,20 );
