Paint price on chart

[plemal]

Hi- Since I'm using 2 different platforms to monitor futures turn zones...I'm looking for a ninjascript file that does something like this: At the top of the chart I would like for it to display for example the high price of each of the last ex: 4 bars and when a new bar prints the price at the top of the chart for the fourth bar back goes away...visually I'm working with custom smoothed bars and it seems like it would be easier to monitor shifts in direction by staring at numbers at the top of the chart vs the actual bars...does anyone know of any current ninjascript file that will do this? Thanks for any help

Hello plemal,

Thanks for your post.

You could consider adding a toolbar and adding TextBlocks to the toolbar. Or you could consider using Draw.TextFixed or RenderTarget.DrawTextLayout with SharpDX.

See the Position Display Indicator from our User App Share Center which you may find helpful. This indicator uses SharpDX to draw a text box on the chart.

See the SampleWPFModifications reference sample which demonstrates creating toolbars: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ui)-modifi.htm

And, see the help guide documentation below for more information.

RenderTarget.DrawTextLayout: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...textlayout.htm

Draw.TextFixed: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._textfixed.htm

Let us know if we may assist further.

Thank you so much for your detailed response...although the above sounds foreign to me-I'll explore these in the next few days-thanks again!
