NT8 Example"Changing fonts for draw objects"

[aelagha]

Hi there,

Sorry for the trivial question, but I am walking through the example for NT8 indicators in the reference help guide. In particular this example (https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/). I expected the the text to be drawn above and below each and every bar, but it is only drawn on one bar (@ 3 bars Ago from the last. I ran the code as is, i.e. no changes, see attached. Am I missing something?

Never mind. he example does not use unique tags for drawn text. So, on each bar update, the same text is updated. Once an identifier is added to tag to make it unique, i.e. + CurrentBar, text shows on each bar.

Hello aelagha,

Thanks for your post.

Correct, was just writing that as a reply.

For each draw object to be seen it must have a unique tag name, otherwise with the same tag name when a new draw object is applied the previously drawn object is automatically removed.
