Plotting text, needing to refresh NinjaScript

[WalterSkinner]

Hello WalterSkinner,

Looking at the code, the Draw.Text method in BarsInProgress == 1 is using CurrentBar with the tag, so each time there is a new secondary bar, this tag will change and a new drawing object will be placed.

Following the recommendation from post #6, please consider using CurrentBars[0] with the tag instead, as CurrentBars[0] reflects the index of the primary data series and you want to have one drawing per primary bar.

Thanks for your patience and help Jim, much appreciated.

I gave that a shot a while back and it gave me the error below.

When I try this:

Draw.Text(this, "deltaText"+CurrentBar[0], false, barDelta.ToString(), 0, High[0] + 2*plotVertPos*TickSize, 0, Brushes.Black, myFont2, TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Black, null, 1);

I get this error:

"cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type int"

I've got to be doing something wrong.

Since the primary data series is a range bar chart, and the second series is range based volumetric bars, I set the range of the volumetric bars equal to the range of the primary data series, hoping to make make it not matter which data series I was using to plot.

Hello WalterSkinner,

You need to use CurrentBars[0].

Please also see the complete Multi Time Frame and Instruments documentation. Giving this a good once over will help when working with Multi Time Frame/Multi Series scripts.
