DrawText

kaywai · 02-11-2010, 11:18 AM

Hi,

I'm trying to have text drawn when certain conditions are fulfilled. I've managed to get "1" printed (as shown in the attached chart but can't get "2" printed. There were also no errors in the log. Would you mind helping? I've enclosed the code as well.

Thanks!

Kay Wai

Hello Kaywai,

One thing it might be is the DrawText field for the objects "tag" is not unique for drawing 1 and 2.

Try changing this line to:

Code:

 
DrawText("BS2" + CurrentBar, "2", 0, (Low[0]-TickSize), Color.Green);

Hi Ryan,

Tried it. the '2' still won't appear...

Hi kaywai,

You probably need to look at your logic to see if it's working as expected. Try adding print statements to check the value of _boolThereIsNoBullishFlip

Code:

Print(_boolThereIsNoBullishFlip);
