Locate text above horizontal line
12 Apr 2018, 09:50

Hi, i have a horizontal line that follows a changing stoploss. I would like to include text that will appear above the right hand end of the line, and remain a constant distance above it when the line is redrawn. I am confused about the xPos and yPos parameters. Here is the code that I am using.

            ChartObjects.DrawHorizontalLine("LongTargetLine", _longtarget, Colors.Lime, 1, LineStyle.Lines);
            ChartObjects.DrawText("LongText", "Long Target", xPos, yPos, vAlign, hAlign, Colors.Lime);

I'm assuming that the yPos should follow the _longtarget parameter, but I can't figure ot the xPos part. No issues with vAlign and hAlign.

Can anybody help, please ...

Dear Trader,

Thanks for posting in our forum. See below an example

            var index = MarketSeries.Low.Count - 1;
            var low = MarketSeries.Low[index];
            var text = low.ToString();
            var xPos = index;
            var yPos = low;
            var vAlign = VerticalAlignment.Bottom;
            var hAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
            ChartObjects.DrawHorizontalLine("LongTargetLine", low, Colors.Lime, 1, LineStyle.Lines);
            ChartObjects.DrawText("LongText", "Long Target", xPos, yPos, vAlign, hAlign, Colors.Lime);

You can adjust it based on your parameters

Best Regards,

Panagiotis
