Indicator with variable Text on Chart

Hi,

I want to display the actual balance in a chart with indikator or signal.

The code is something like:

 
Code
TextIDsample = Text_New(Date,Time,0,"text");
But I want instead of the "text" a variable (my accountbalance).
If I write "initialcapital" than I see the word initialcapital in the chart.
If I write initialcapital without "" than I can't compile the code.

What to do?
Thank you very much!

off the top of my head, try
DrawTextFixed("text tag", " my balance = "+mybalance, TextPosition.BottomRight);

or
DrawTextFixed("text tag", "my balance = "+mybalance.ToString(),TextPosition.BottomRight);

Thank you!
But I think this is a code for Ninjatrader...itworks not on Tradestation/MultiCharts..


Quoting 
TextIDsample = Text_New(Date,Time,0,"Balance = " + InitialCapital);

In MultiCharts "xxx"+Variable doesnt work...thats my problem :-(

Have you tried to find some TradeStation code by "TRO", "The Rumpled One", or had a look on Kreslik?

I think he has alot of samples and open TS code posted there.

HTH,

Kirk

I think your looking for this:

 
Code
                            
vars:

  
myvar(0);

myvar some formula;

Text_New(datetimepricetext(myvar)); 
You can also do something like:

 
Code
                            
Text_New(datetimepricetext("My var = " myvar:0:".")); 

:0:0 is formatting (padding) of zeros before/after decimal.

Mike
