Label in the Right Price Margin

[nvorves]

Is it possible to add a label in the Price Price Panel for the value of a coded drawn horizontal line?

Example: I draw a line at the high and the low of the previous 30 minutes. I would like to display the Value/Price of the line in the Right Price Panel without using a plot.

Thank you.

Hello nvorves,

Thanks for your post.

A plot would be needed to draw on top of the price scale. All custom rendering is clipped to be within the ChartPanel that the indicator owns.

You could consider drawing a label within the ChartPanel, however. And we do have some tools in the User App Share that can provide this.

Thank you for your quick response Jim.

When I use this code:
protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale) //section added for Y Axis Plots
{
if (Bars == null || ChartControl == null)

return;
}

I am able to draw lines and show plot values without showing the actual plot. However, it seems to hide ALL my plots. Is there a way to apply this kind of thing selectively to individual plots?

Hello nvorves,

If you do not call base.OnRender() in OnRender(), regular plots will not be drawn in the ChartPanel.

You could possibly consider using two indicators, where one does not call base.OnRender so plot lines are hidden, and the other shows regular plots.

Otherwise I would suggest reverting to drawing your own labels within the ChartPanel like what is done with the scripts linked in post #2.

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