Dataseries - Draw.TextFixed

[tonynt]

Hello,

I´m experiencing the most strange behavior in 10 years from NT6.5 to NT8. I´m testing round to find the reason and there is no error in log.

My strategy is plotting in the chart doubles eg Draw.TextFixed(this,"str2",str2, TextPosition.Center,Brushes.Blue, new SimpleFont ("Arial",10), Brushes.Transparent,Brushes.White,100); (screenshot)
this works for years.

Today I found out that it does not when I add volumetric dataseries (which I use without errors in other strategy)
For testing purposes I changed nothing else in the strategy than adding
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe barsType = Bars.BarsSeries.BarsType as
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe;
if (barsType == null)

Compiling, enable again in the chart. No more Draw.TextFixed.

When "//" the 3 lines for volumetric" and F5 in the chart its plotting again the Draw.TextFixed.
When I change in the script the dataseries and apply the script to a tickchart and now using volumetric as added Dataseries then it is plotting OK in the chart. (But I assume adding volumetric in a script needs more cpu than running the script with calculations from volumetric in a volumetric chart)

Why?

Thank you!
Tony

Hello tonynt,

The code you have highlighted is required for volumetric bars, if you have that in the code it should prevent the text from displaying on other chart types.

If you need to support other bars types you need to make a condition for volumetric bars and another for when it is not volumetric bars.

Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.

Hello,

sorry I dont understand from this reply. Maybe I did the question inaccurately... I try again:

A.) When I run the script on a tickchart and having volumetric as added dataseries with "NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricB arsT y pe barsType = BarsArray[3].BarsSeries.BarsType as NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe;" and change conditions Bars[0] and Bars[3] for having conditions correct then the script plots the values in the chart with Draw.Textfixed ok
B.) When I run the script on a volumetric chart with "NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricB arsT y pe barsType = Bars.BarsSeries.BarsType as NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe;" and of course modifying Bars[0] and Bars[3] then the script does not plot the values with Draw.TextFixed in the chart. Does a chart with volumetric prevent anything with Draw.TextFixed?


Thank you!

Hello tonynt,

There is nothing specific with the volumetric chart that would cause Draw.Text to not draw.

If there is no error and no text your code is likely not being executed at that point.

You would need to use Prints and find out if your logic is being called or not.



Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Perhaps its being drawn perfectly fine but overwritten by something else related to the volumetric bars?
