X-axis custom values

How can I render custom values/times on X-axis ?

Hello Marty125,

Thank you for your post.

You can custom render shapes/objects using OnRender().

To get X values you can use methods such as GetXByTime() or GetXByBarIndex().

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

But how can I render something ON the X-axis (image below)? I want to overwrite the time there.

Also how can i draw/render something during procesing historical bars? I want to make loading bar. Thanks

Hello Marty125,

Unfortunately, it is not supported within NinjaScript to render on top of the x or y axis.

Also, if I understand correctly you are looking to render something while the indicator is still processing? There is no way to draw/render on the screen using OnRender before the screen has processed and is in realtime. You could only render something like this on the screen once scipt has already processed all historical data and is running in real time.

But I´ve seen it in some custom indicators so I can be done somehow.

Hello Marty125,

While it may be possible, it is unsupported by NinjaTrader Support.

That said, this thread will remain open if any users want to provide unsupported solutions.
