Printing Price that a signal fires at on the chart

How would you print on the screen the exact price that a signal fires. Like if 5 crosses above 20 at 1235. How do I put the "1235" on the chart above the bar that triggers the trade?

well your query is not very clear, but what i understood is it will be Close[0]

for example if your code is if Stochastics crosses 80 then draw an string (DrawText) below the bar bar low then the code will look like

Code

DrawText("tag",Close[0].ToString(),0,Low[0],Color.Blue);

Essentially you are trying to plot the value of 20, so the code below will plot the value of the 20 on the chart. The problem is that it will only work correctly with COBC = True. If you want it to plot in real time, the code below will put it there if the condition is true, but it won't remove it if the condition becomes false during the same bar. I haven't figured out how to do that, maybe a good programmer here could explain how to do that.

If(Close[0] > EMA(20)[0] && Close[1] < EMA(20)[1]

{double MAValue = Math.Round(EMA(20),2);
string MAoutput = MAValue.ToString();

DrawText(CurrentBar.ToString() + "BarSize",MAoutput,0,High[0]+5*TickSize,Color.Black);}

Hi to All,
This is something i am trying to find .... long time ago. If i can interprete our friend "mainstream" is that:
Assuming we are viewing DAX and we have plotted two (2) moving averages, one is 5 periods Moving Average and the other is 20 periods MA. Now supose we see Price (C)= 7032 , MovAv_5= 7030 and MovAv_20= 7028, the question is 1)How To SHOW and 2)How To Calculate following convention : What should be next comming Price that MovAv_5 = MovAv_20 and Show it on the screen.
Regards

I guess jargon doesn't translate well.

If 5 ema crosses 20 ema

meaning the 5 and the 20 have the instance the cross occurs, and the instance occurs at ES 1235.

Plot 1235 above the bar when it occurs. Or at the close of the bar.

It's nice to have arrows. It's nicer to have the value of the arrow, Nes Pas.
