HOW TO DISPLAY A VALUE ON CHART

How to display a value on  chart, below is an example in that i want the value of “ var DIFF” displayed on chart

//    This code is a cAlgo API sample.

//    This cBot is intended to be used as a sample and does not guarantee any particular outcome or
//    profit of any kind. Use it at your own risk.
//
//    The "Sample RSI cBot" will create a buy order when the Relative Strength Index indicator crosses the  level 30, 
//    and a Sell order when the RSI indicator crosses the level 70. The order is closed be either a Stop Loss, defined in 
//    the "Stop Loss" parameter, or by the opposite RSI crossing signal (buy orders close when RSI crosses the 70 level 
//    and sell orders are closed when RSI crosses the 30 level). 
//
//    The cBot can generate only one Buy or Sell order at any given time.

Here is an example

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            var DIFF = Bars.HighPrices.Last(6)-Bars.LowPrices.Last(6);
            
            Chart.DrawText("Diff", DIFF.ToString(),  Bars.OpenTimes.Last(0), Symbol.Bid, Color.Red);
               
                if (rsi.Result.LastValue < 30)
                {
                    Close(TradeType.Sell);
                    Open(TradeType.Buy);
                }
                else if (rsi.Result.LastValue > 70)

HI Panagiotis,

Here you go

        {
            var DIFF = Bars.HighPrices.Last(6)-Bars.LowPrices.Last(6);
            
            Chart.DrawStaticText("Diff", DIFF.ToString(),  VerticalAlignment.Top, HorizontalAlignment.Left, Color.Red);
               
                if (rsi.Result.LastValue < 30)
                {
                    Close(TradeType.Sell);
                    Open(TradeType.Buy);
                }
                else if (rsi.Result.LastValue > 70)
                {
                    Close(TradeType.Buy);
                    Open(TradeType.Sell);
                }

HI, Can we set rules to make only one trade per bar ONTICK( ),

Only reversing the old postion .

Hi there,

Yes, use a flag after you place a trade and reset it on each bar.

Hi there,

Unfortunately I cannot do custom work for free. Give it a try yourself and come back with questions. If don't know how to program better assign the job to a professional.
