Plot text values instead of line, bar, etc etc via Indicator

[tarikmedjber]

Hey there,

I was wondering if anyone can help make me in developing an indicator.

I want to display values in the panel 2 instead of the usual graph style. I've attached a image as an example of what I want to achieve.

But in my indicator instead of AskV - BidVI simply want to display the duration of each tick bar on my chart.


Is this possible?

Thank you!!

Hello tarikmedjber,

Thank you for your note.

Something like this would require custom rendering with SharpDX. I would start by taking a look at this page of our help guide that goes over using SharpDX for rendering:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/using_sharpdx_for_custom_chart_rendering.htm

As well as the SharpDX SDK reference:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/sharpdx_sdk_reference.htm

There is also a built in Sample Custom Render indicator that demonstrates several usages of custom rendering built into the platform that can be viewed in the NinjaScript Editor that should be helpful as well.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
