Showing time remaining to the right

[tkaboris]

Hi,
I created custom copy of BarTimer indicator where I want to show time remaining not on the current bar but to the right, like on the attached image. How can I do it?


Draw.Text(this, "NinjaScriptInfo1", true, timeLeft, Bars.GetTime(CurrentBar), Bars.GetClose(Bars.Count-1), 0, Brushes.Blue, ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont, System.Windows.TextAlignment.Left, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);


if (connected)
{
if (SessionIterator.IsInSession(Now, false, true))
{
if (hasRealtimeData)
{
TimeSpan barTimeLeft = Bars.GetTime(Bars.Count - 1).Subtract(Now);

timeLeft = (barTimeLeft.Ticks < 0
? "00:00:00"
: barTimeLeft.Hours.ToString("00") + ":" + barTimeLeft.Minutes.ToString("00") + ":" + barTimeLeft.Seconds.ToString("00"));

Draw.TextFixed(this, "NinjaScriptInfo", NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.BarTimerTimeRemaining + timeLeft, TextPosition.BottomRight, ChartControl.Properties.ChartText, ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);
Draw.Text(this, "NinjaScriptInfo1", true, timeLeft, Bars.GetTime(CurrentBar), Bars.GetClose(Bars.Count-1), 0, Brushes.Blue, ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont, System.Windows.TextAlignment.Left, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);
}
else
Draw.TextFixed(this, "NinjaScriptInfo", NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.BarTimerWaitingOnDataE rror, TextPosition.BottomRight, ChartControl.Properties.ChartText, ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);
}
else
Draw.TextFixed(this, "NinjaScriptInfo", NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.BarTimerSessionTimeErr or, TextPosition.BottomRight, ChartControl.Properties.ChartText, ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);

Hello tkaboris,

You would need to change from using Draw.TextFixed to Draw.Text and then specify a negative bars ago as its anchor point. While that is unsupported it should work to push the text past the current bar. There is no way to make the chart automatically move to include that but you can manually scroll the chart to see it. If you wanted to accomplish that in a way that does not require manually scrolling you could use OnRender to display text at specific X and Y coordinates and then use the charts right side margin property in its property menu to push the bars back past the text.
