Hi all, currently I draw a SINGLE line of text below a candle by the following snipper Tool.DrawingType = DRAWING_TEXT; Tool.BeginDateTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[index]; Tool.BeginValue = y + offset; Tool.TextAlignment = DT_CENTER \| DT_TOP; in which y is the low of a candle, and offset is some constant for the padding. The text is centered in the middle. now I'd like to add 2 more lines, let's call it Line1, Line2. Currently, I'm stuck at figuring out Y1, Y2 which is the value on Y axis for Line1, Line2. Currently I'm doing a math Y1 = y + offset + fontsize + somepadding between first line and second line Y2 = Y1 + fontsize + somepadding between two line and third line This works for some instruments, some don't. I tried from USD/JPY to BTCUSD. I'm looking for a few possible ways 1. Get previous line Y value 2. Convert some constant value to a Y axis scale. I attached an image below, it's what I want to achieve Thank you
