Correct Syntax for Draw.Text() and DateTime time parameter

[Fran09]

Hi, why if I draw a vertical line in the future, to the right of the current bar with the following line:

Draw.Line(this, "tag2", false, DateTime.Now.AddHours(10), 11800,DateTime.Now.AddHours(10), 12050, Brushes.Black, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 1);

It compiles and works but if I try to add text at the same point with the following line doesn't compile and I get error

Draw.Text(this, "tag3", Close[0].ToString("0.##"),DateTime.Now.AddHours(10), Close[0], Brushes.Black);

What would be the correct Syntax for Draw.Text() and DateTime time parameter?
Thanks.

Hello Fran09,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the Ninjatrader forums!

Please review the help guide for Draw.text(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...?draw_text.htm

It appears that the parameters you are using for Draw.Text do not match the overloads for the method.

To use the DateTime, you would need to use the last shown overload with a parameter list of:

Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, string text, DateTime time, double y, int yPixelOffset, Brush textBrush, SimpleFont font, TextAlignment alignment, Brush outlineBrush, Brush areaBrush, int areaOpacity)
