Flashing text label on top left of the screen

Any pointers to create a flashing text label on the chart? TY!

Hello cay7man,

The easiest way would be to use Draw.TextFixed to draw the label. If you wanted to make it flash you could use logic to set a brush and then call Draw.TextFixed again to update the exiting drawing.

A simple way to toggle a brush would be like the following:

Brush myBrush = Brushes.White; 
if(CurrentBar % 2 == 0)
{
    myBrush = Brushes.Red;
}
