I am trying to get Chart.DrawText()  to draw text under each candle. 

but i only get text on the most recent candle  [index]

in Calculate() i have

Chart.DrawText("UPDOWN", i.ToString(), i, MarketSeries.Low[i] - 5, "#8fb300");

 

how do i get it to work on each candle?

 

 

I tried the Obsolete ChartObjects.DrawText  and it works as expected.

so why does the new Chart.DrawText not work the same way?

i feel like we are in the dark with these updates.

Hi stuart,

Try to do it:

Chart.DrawText("UPDOWN" + i, i.ToString(), i, MarketSeries.Low[i] - 5, "#8FB300");

The first parameter is the name to your instance. Try it.

I am considering that your index is the "int i".
