If you want to draw text on a chart, Chart.DrawText is your friend:

Example:

Chart.DrawText("X text", "X", MarketSeries.Close.Count - 1, Symbol.Bid, Color.Goldenrod);

You can also search for examples:

Not text - I want to draw a shape ("X" for example) on the candlestick when the price crosses over Hull MA.

Then you have to draw lines. But you'll have to decide how far you want the lines to extend, and how steep ofan angle to form the "x". For instance, you might have to draw one line with the coordinates (x-2, priceCrossPoint + 2) and (x+2, priceCrossPoint - 2). That will draw from top left to bottom right. You'll have to do the same for the other leg.

The DrawText approach is a lot simpler to get started so you can see if you like how it's working. Then from there I would graduate to drawing the lines to form the X.

I know you want to draw an x but using DrawText has the advantage of being simpler and also has horizontal and vertical alignment. You can also us unicode characters to get a proper cross. Just use \u2716 as the text string for example. more example unicode crosses here - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_mark

This would be a fantastic feature but the resources required to test multiple symbols, especially using tick data, would take forever even on a decent rig. So this links nicely into my suggestion for GPU/Network optimisation/backtesting here: https://ctrader.com/forum/suggestions/22362

Hi ctid1542722,

Thanks for posting in our forum. Indicators referenced by cBots do not display on the chart. If you need the indicator to display on order to cross check your results, you will need to add the indicator to the chart manually.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Thanks,

That makes sence.
