Moving Remaining Time to Bottom Left Corner

[Ludwik]

Hello,

In regard to following indicator: https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...sound-alert-2/

Which values would I have to change in order to have "remaining time digits" positioned at bottom right corner instead of top left corner?

If it isn't possible to move the digits than is it possible to add background behind the digits so they would be clearly visible even if there is volume profile data positioned to the left or candles stacked at that area.

Thank you

Hello Ludwik,

This indicator uses X and Y values to place the drawing. You can replace the lines 156 and 157 which is the following code:

SharpDX.Vector2 upperTextPoint = new SharpDX.Vector2(ChartPanel.X + 10, ChartPanel.Y + (float)(simpleFont.Size * 1.5));
SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextLayout textLayout1 = new SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextLayout(NinjaTrader.Core.Gl obals.DirectWriteFactory, timeLeft, textFormat1, ChartPanel.X + ChartPanel.W, textFormat1.FontSize);

With the code below, this changes the X and Y positions for the text. The code below is ordered differently than the original so you can access the textLayout width, it would be easiest to copy the following two lines and completely replace lines 156 and 157. Then compile and reload the indicator.

SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextLayout textLayout1 = new SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextLayout(NinjaTrader.Core.Gl obals.DirectWriteFactory, timeLeft, textFormat1, 100, textFormat1.FontSize);
SharpDX.Vector2 upperTextPoint = new SharpDX.Vector2((ChartPanel.X + ChartPanel.W) - textLayout1.MaxWidth, (ChartPanel.Y + ChartPanel.H) - textLayout1.MaxHeight - (float)(simpleFont.Size * 1.5));

Thank you for your help, I will do that

I replaced the code as instructed but getting following error messages:

New Code:

            SharpDX.Vector2 upperTextPoint = new SharpDX.Vector2((ChartPanel.10 + ChartPanel.W) - textLayout1.MaxWidth, (ChartPanel.10 + ChartPanel.H) - textLayout1.MaxHeight - (float)(simpleFont.Size * 1.5));

Error message:



Also ist it possible to have these fields in Indicator's Properties panel instead in the code? If so which code would I need to change?

Hello Ludwik,

I have attached the script with the edit so you can compare what you copied. It looks like you may have just missed a few characters at the end of one of the lines.

Hello Ludwik,

Sorry about that, I forgot I had undone the changes to provide a comparison. I can see the problem, the forum sometimes adds random spaces in code blocks, there is a space in NinjaTrader.Core.Gl obals, that should be NinjaTrader.Core.Globals. Removing that space will correct the error.

[Ludwik]

I changed the code as requested. Removed space from NinjaTrader.Core.Gl obals but this time the clock won't appear at all. Could you please double check the code and let me know what exactly should I update in order for it to work?

Hello Ludwik,

I see that working on my end, are you running the script in realtime?
