Please look at the examples in the API Reference for the methods in [ChartObjects]. If you like to DrawText everytime the order is executed you should use this in the OnPositionOpened method.

For example:

		protected override void OnPositionOpened(Position openedPosition)
		{
			ChartObjects.DrawText("myObject", "text", StaticPosition.TopLeft);
		}

So, yes, I have this line in my OnPositionOpened. it does not crash but it does not place a B or S on the chart where trades were executed???

ChartObjects.DrawText("Trade" + TradeBarID.ToString(), position.TradeType==TradeType.Buy?"B"+position.Id:"S", MarketSeries.Close.Count-1, position.EntryPrice+3*Symbol.PipSize, VerticalAlignment.Center, HorizontalAlignment.Center, Colors.Yellow);

What is being printed is in the second parameter.

The third parameter is the index (x-axis), the fourth is the price (y-axix) giving the position on the chart where the text is drawn.

see the intellisense.
