DrawText with Text Option in Indicator Window

[duck_CA]

I'm trying to include a Parameter in the Indicator Window that I can type Text into that will show up on Price Panel.

DrawText("tag1", "This text was written from Indicator Window", 10, 1000, Color.Black);

Not sure I follow. What indicator window are you talking about? If you mean where you set indicator parameters, just create yourself a string input and then tell it to DrawText on that string variable.

Yes. I was refering to Indicator Window via the Chart...

I would assume that some code is needed in the Properties region.

Kinda struggling with it right now...Maybe if I can post some code we can go from there

Thank You Josh

duck_CA,

I recommend you just use the Indicator Wizard to see what kind of code it will generate. That is the code you will need in the Properties region.

I will ask the "wizard" or is that you ? lol

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

Haha. Tools->New NinjaScript->Indicator.

I'm trying to be able and use the new "Text" Parameter so that anything that is typed will show up on the chart...

I'm I getting warmer?

#region Variables
// Wizard generated variables
privatestring text = @"draw text here"; // Default setting for Text
// User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
// Condition set 1
if (Low[0] < High[0])
{
DrawText("My text" + CurrentBar, "draw me some text", 0, 0, Color.Red);
}
}

#region Properties
[Description("this should draw text in indicator window")]
[Category("Parameters")]
publicstring Text
{
get { return text; }
set { text = value; }
}

DrawText("My text" + CurrentBar, Text, 0, 0, Color.Red);
