display current indicator values at top or bottom of chart

[trader3000a]

Hi,
Is there a way to show the indicators' values in rows of boxes on the chart they way you can with think or swim? Stacking the plots isn't always needed and can take up too much space
thanks,
David

Well, you can try using Draw.TextFixed.

In the string to display, you can append
a newline character '\n' whenever you
want to start a new line of output.

Yes, or you could custom OnRender exactly what you want to be shown.

This is not exactly the same idea, but you might also like this: https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use.../addplotnames/

Hello trader3000a,

Thanks for your post.

The Draw.TextFixed() method could be used to draw text on the top left, top right, bottom left, or bottom right of a chart window.

See this help guide page for more information about using Draw.TextFixed() and sample code: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...draw.textfixed

See the sample script on this forum thread demonstrating how this could be accomplished with Draw.TextFixed(): https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/...403#post838403

Or, you could consider using SharpDX in OnRender() to custom render text on a chart.

See the help guide documentation below for more information about SharpDX and OnRender().
