Custom Text not Updating

[lunardiplomacy]

Hello community,

I am using the code

Draw.TextFixed(this, "tag", int, TextPosition.TopLeft);

in order to display one of my calculations, however when I run it over live data it doesn't update with the creation of new bars.

It updated in sync with whatever I had Calculate set to (in this case Calculate.OnPriceChange) on my last installation of NT, just like I wanted it to, but now it displays some initial value then doesn't update at all.

I tried it with an without added granularity (in the form of an added tick series)

It's placed in OnBarUpdate

The calculation is not the problem, it is correct

Any ideas as to what is going on?

Same principle as if I were trying to display the system time on the actual rendered chart and it wasn't updating at all. Thanks!

Hello, thanks for your post.

This test works fine for me running the indicator OnBarClose (prints the current bar):

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    Draw.TextFixed(this, "mytext", CurrentBar.ToString(), TextPosition.BottomRight);
}

Could you share further details of your code?

I look forward to hearing from you.
