Add Calculated Values Under ChartTrader Bid/Ask Display

[lunardiplomacy]

Hello community,

The title is pretty self-explanatory, I would like to add two int values, "long risk" and "short risk" that update on each tick to the chart trader display under the bid/ask display. Right now they are displayed as text overlaying the chart in the corner and I think this new way would look cleaner.

How would I approach this? I was thinking NT_Chelsea's indicator which adds buttons to chart trader would be a good place to start, but I don't know anything about how the Bid/Ask display is coded seeing as the code for chart trader is not public.

Any point in the right direction, or specific instructions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hello lunardiplomacy,

Thanks for your post.

A TextBlock is used. I may encourage you to use Intellisense/Intelliprompt and to check System.Windows.Controls to see available WPF Controls and to experiment with using those controls so you become more familiar with them in your custom works.

Publicly available information can be found below

TextBlock - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...orkdesktop-4.8

I have also attached a modification which adds a TextBlock.

Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.

Hi, how do you display variables the same way the grid below displays bid and ask prices or calculation logic from OnBarUpdate() instead of fixed text ?
Close[0].ToString() not displaying correct value and not updating.
Could you provide some example? thanks.

Hello Fran09, thanks for your post.

The best way to render text to the chart is to use sharpDX in the OnRender method. See the "Net Change" indicator as an example of doing this.

Best regards,

I am currently using OnRender() method and rendering some of the information I need but I wanted to move this information to the label I've added in the chart trader lower grid area.
But thank you anyway
