ADX on Chart
ADX on Chart
22 Jan 2014, 20:37
Hello,
can somebody help me display the current ADX value right on the chart???
I found a similar indicator that draws the current spread on the chart:
Since I'm not a programmer I just can't get it to work with the value of the ADX.
It also would be great if the text can change colors depending on a rising or falling ADX value.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

namespace cAlgo.Indicators
{
[Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC)]
public class DrawSpread : Indicator

protected override void Initialize()
{
// Initialize and create nested indicators
}
public override void Calculate(int index)
{
// Calculate value at specified index
DisplaySpreadOnChart();
}
private void DisplaySpreadOnChart()
{
var spread = Math.Round(Symbol.Spread/Symbol.PipSize, 2);
string text = string.Format("{0}", spread);
ChartObjects.DrawText("Label", "Spread:", StaticPosition.TopLeft, Colors.Yellow);
ChartObjects.DrawText("spread", text.PadLeft(12), StaticPosition.TopLeft, Colors.White);
}
}
}
If to look where it says: [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC)]
if it is true it's on the chart, if it's false it won't be on the chart

Yes I understand that.
But how do I code the rest to show me the current ADX value???
