Write in graph the period of time used

[julifro]

Hello. Excuse my English.
I have a 5 minute chart. I want a 5 to be written on the bottom of the graph. If I change the graph to 15 I want 15 to be written, so I always know which graph I'm on.
Can you guide me how to do it? Thanks.

Hello julifro,

I am not aware of a existing item that does that but you can create an indicator and use Draw.TextFixed to draw in one of the corners of the chart.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/draw_textfixed.htm?zoom_highlightsub=draw.textfixed

To get the period value you can use

Bars.BarsPeriod.Value

and for the type:

Bars.BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodTypeName);

This doesn't work when working with multi dataseries

e.g. my script has

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5);
}

When I access Bars.BarsPeriod.Value it is ALWAYS "5" and BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType is always "Minute" even if I'm on a daily chart.

How do I find out what chart timeframe I'm on???

Thanks for your help

I think I found it - gotta use BarsArray[0].BarsPeriod. ... never mind then
