Draw.TextFixed questions

[Impeesa]

I am working in two indicators that use Draw.TextFixed method and I have two questions:

1.- How can I get the current value of an indicator?

There is no problem with current value of the instrument

Draw.TextFixed(this, "NinjaScriptInfo", "" + marketDataUpdate.Price, GetTextPosition(Location), Brush textBrush, SimpleFont font, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);

But how can I call VOL indicator for example?

private VOL VOL1;
...
else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
VOL1 = VOL(Close);
}
...
Draw.TextFixed(this, "NinjaScriptInfo", ""?, GetTextPosition(Location), Brush textBrush, SimpleFont font, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);


2.- In order to write my own text when opening the indicator in Parameters, how should I define en "Properties"? I have been looking in the forum and I have found examples to select brushes and other things but not to write my own text ("SHORTS", LONGS",...)

Thanks a lot

For the first question I have seen that VOL indicator would be

Draw.TextFixed(this, "NinjaScriptInfo", "" + Volume[0], GetTextPosition(Location), Brush textBrush, SimpleFont font, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);

But what about others indicators like cumulativeDelta or EMA?

Thanks

Hello Impeesa,

Thanks for your post.

To answer your first and second posts, in OnBarUpdate(), in the Draw.TextFixed() you could have used VOL1[0] as the value. It would be the same process for other indicators that you add in and create private instances of. Simply use the private instance name and the bar index.

" In order to write my own text when opening the indicator in Parameters, how should I define en "Properties"? I have been looking in the forum and I have found examples to select brushes and other things but not to write my own text ("SHORTS", LONGS",...)" A good way to generate the code needed would be to use the Ninjascript wizard and create a "properties" indicator A blank indicator that contains all the different input types, added data series, plots and line type that you can always pull from. The wizard creates all of the structures/code needed: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...?ns_wizard.htm One of the input "types" is a string input and that is what you need in this case.
