indicator strength box

[crystalet]

Is it possible to draw eg a box on a fixed position of the chart (eg left hand corner) with a fixed size (regardless of how the chart zooms in, scrolls etc) that I fill up depending on how high or low my indicator gets?

I was trying to find some examples but couldnt find any. All charting seems to be organised around plotting time series and less so as an alerting system for the current state.

I could code this up in C# as a separate panel of course, but was wondering if you had anything like this before I do so

Hello crystalet,

Thanks for your post.

If you can use text or numerical values to express your indicator you might consider using Draw.TextFixed() which uses any of the 4 corners of the chart.

Otherwise, I would suggest using OnRender() to draw the box.

While not a direct example but certainly an educational one, check out the coding of the indicator SampleCustomRender in your NinjaTrader.
