Ticksize, Output High ,Low

[ElPrincipal]

Hello all,

I am currently learning C# to make programming for NT easier for me. I hope people can help me here. I have successfully programmed a certain candle constellation so that this is displayed in color in the chart. How can I program that the tick size, high and low of the candle is displayed in ticks in the chart ? Without that I need the output window for this. I can do that, but I do not always want to have the output window open. And since I already address the Output window, how can I make an output in tab 2 ? With Print Output 2 () this is not possible.
If you could help me, I would be very grateful.

Hi Frank, thanks for writing in.

You can use Draw.Text or custom rendering within the OnRender method to display any text desired. Draw.Text() will be the most straight forward approach, where custom rendering will be fastest with maximum flexibility. For an example of using custom rendering see the "SampleCustomRender" example indicator. I have also linked documentation below.

Hello,

thank you very much for your reply. How can I display the low and high of a particular candle in the chart as a number possibly as text ?

Hi Frank, thanks for your reply.

You can draw the data with the Draw.Text method e.g.

if(Open[0] < Close[0]) //draws high and low price of green bars
{
Draw.Text(this, "High"+CurrentBar, "High " + High[0], 0, High[0]+TickSize*2);
Draw.Text(this, "Low"+CurrentBar, "Low " + Low[0], 0, Low[0]-TickSize*2);
}

Kind regards,
