Draw.Text Info Being Removed OnBarUpdate

[lesterboles]

I am drawing text (double value) above the previous bar. The text gets removed when a new bar is created OnBarUpdate and I want the text to remain. This is something that I have fixed in the past by putting in a counter. That fix is not working this time. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

Draw.Text(this, "tag10"+countGrn, false, " "+CBoxDelta[1] , 1, High[0] + 2*TickSize, -2, PlotBrushes[0][0], myFont , System.Windows.TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Transparent, null, 1);

Hello lesterboles,

Thanks for your post.

There can only be one draw object per tag name on the chart, when you reuse the tag name the function is to remove the previous version and replace it with the latest version of the draw object. This is the design of the system.

You can keep all your objects on the chart by assigning a unique tag name which is what you are doing with your counter.

I would suggest using a Print statement prior to the draw statement to ensure that the counter is actually counting. Print (Time[0]+" Counter value = "+countGrn);

An alternate way to create unique tag names, on a once per bar basis, is to use +CurrentBar, IE: "tag10"+CurrentBar.
