Indicator Plot Title Not Showing Up

[kennet,stenberg]

Hello!

I can send you the code.
Tell me what you need and how to to that.
The label/title in a indicator does not show up. ( NT8 latest version)

Kind Regards

Hello Kennet,

Thanks for your post.

Is this an indicator you created or a 3rd party indicator or a platform indicator?

When you say "Indicator plot title not showing up" Can you clarify where you are looking for the plot title to appear?

If it would help, please post a screenshot to illustrate with another indicator what you are expecting to see that you are currently not seeing.

If you create a new chart, with no templates and add the indicator to it, do you see the plot title there?

Hello Paul and thanks for quick answer

It is an indicator I have developed.
As an limited example:
The plots looks like this in;

OnStateSetDefault

AddPlot( new Stroke(Brushes.Gray), PlotStyle.Line, "+3/8 Imminent Bearish reversal");
AddPlot( new Stroke(Brushes.Gray), PlotStyle.Line, "+2/8 Extreme Overshoot conditions, can reverse anytime");
int lineWidth = 2;
Plots[0].Width = lineWidth;
Plots[1].Width = lineWidth;

OnStateConfigure

Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Green;
Plots[1].Brush = Brushes.Red;

OnBarUpdate

MMLCalculation();
PlusThreeEight[0] = Plus38; //· [+3/8]P – Imminent Bullish reversal
PlusTwoEight[0] = Plus28; //· [+2/8]P – Extreme Overshoot conditions, can reverse anytime


I get all the correct lines, values and coloring of the levels but the label/name does not show up

Hello Kennet,

Thanks for your reply.

Are you expecting the plot names "+3/8 Imminent Bearish reversal" and "+2/8 Extreme Overshoot conditions, can reverse anytime" to be automatically displayed on the chart?

Plot names do not automatically show up on the chart, you would need additional coding or you could look at using an indicator I created that adds the plot names on the chart.

This indicator is publicly available on our NinjaTrader Ecosystem website:

https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/user-app-share-download/addplotnames/

Here is a basic guideline of how to import NinjaScript add-ons in NinjaTrader 8:

Note — To import NinjaScripts you will need the original .zip file.

To Import:
Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip fil

From the Control Center window select the menu Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...

Select the downloaded .zip file

NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.
Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'
Once installed, you may add the indicator to a chart by:
Right-click your chart > Indicators... > Select the Indicator from the 'Available' list on the left > Add > OK

Great thing!
Works Great!!!
But I think I need to make a rewrite ( or maybe you have a version for that ) to put the labels on top of the line ( left or right ) since they are quite long
Anyway
Thanks a lot

As a matter of fact - it works great having the labels on the right side with transparent background and expanding the textarea. .
Thanks a lot Paul.

No, the plot names do not show on the plot automatically, it would have to be coded in to display labels for plots. The plot names will show in the charts "Data box".
