Move overlapping rectangles to the left

[sidlercom80]

Hi, i have created my own charttrader bars and would like to handle them the same way as in nt8. my problem now is that no trader bars should overlap. is there an example of how i could best solve this in another indicator.cs order similar?

Maybe someone can give me a tip on how to solve the problem in the most elegant way ;-)
my current example in OnRender() looks like this:

int overlap = 0;
bool intersects = false;
int idx = 0;

foreach (StopLoss sl in chartTraderSL.ToArray())
{
if (chartTraderSL[0].Index == sl.Index)
goto draw;

intersects = sl.OrderLabelRectText.Intersects(chartTraderSL[idx].OrderLabelRectText);
idx++;

if (intersects)
overlap += 160;

draw:
DrawOrderLineSL(sl.Order, chartControl, chartScale, sl.Index, sl.OpenLoss, sl.TickValue, overlap);
}

Hello sidlercom80,

This would need to be achieved with custom logic. I'm not aware of any examples I can provide a link to.

This thread will remain open for any community members that would like to assist.

One suggestion might be to save the bar numbers of where objects are drawn, and if the next object is within a certain number of bars past a previous object to increment the price by the number of bars times the ticksize, to add a tick for every bar past..

NinjaTrader_ChelseaB Finding the overlapping rectangles is not a problem and is solved using the Intersects() function. My problem is the logic behind it ;-)
