Edit Bar Timer Indicator

[sastrades]

I wish to edit the Bar Timer Indicator. Basically, looking to change what is shown and how it's displayed... See attached screenshot.

Where in the existing code...

1. Edit the text shown, from 1 to 2 in the attachment?
2. Edit/add font size?

Code:

//This namespace holds Indicators in this folder and is required. Do not change it.

Hello sastrades,

The code drawing the text is:
Draw.TextFixed(this, "NinjaScriptInfo", NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.BarTimerTimeRemaining + timeLeft, TextPosition.BottomRight, ChartControl.Properties.ChartText, ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);

The 'Time remaining' string is the NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.BarTimerTimeRemaining resource which you can remove.

The ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont provides the SimpleFont object which contains the text size.
You can replace this with your own SimpleFont object.

Thanks. For the SimpleFont, must I create a string first, or could I add this inline? Would it then be something like this?

Chart.SimpleFont timerFont = new Chart.SimpleFont("Arial", 12) { Size = 50, Bold = true };

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello sastrades,

You can generate a new object in the Draw method call or you can create a variable and assign the object to the variable and use the variable in the method call.

This is C#. You can do either.

Thank you.

Here's my edited line...

Draw.TextFixed(this, "NinjaScriptInfo", NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.BarTimerDisconnectedError, TextPosition.BottomRight, ChartControl.Properties.ChartText, ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont, barTimerCountdown, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);

Where should I place the custom font code, assuming this is written correctly?

// BarTimerCountdown text
NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.SimpleFont barTimerCountdown = new NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.SimpleFont("Arial", 15) { Size = 50, Bold = true };

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello sastrades,

Replace ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont with barTimerCountdown in the Draw.TextFixed() call.

I would recommend that you declare the barTimerCountdown variable in the scope of the class, and instantiate the new SimpleFont object and assign this to the barTimerCountdown variable in State.DataLoaded of OnStateChange().
