Candles or HLOC in StrategyPlot?

[molecool]

I assume that adding an indicator to a chart via a Strategy is still done via StrategyPlot as such:

StrategyPlot(1).Value.Set(myFancyPlot[0]);

Now, is it possible to add my plot somehow as a candle or HLOC (assuming I have the entire high/low/open/close data set) or do I have to do this manually on the chart directly?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for your forum post.

To add an indicator to a via a strategy is done by using the following command in the Initialize method.

Add(SMA(5));

Now if this is a custom indicator you have coded in the strategy you would use the plot similar to what you mentioned using the guide below:

Then click on Plot in the table to see how to set this plot to Barstyle.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I know how to add an indicator to a strategy - I am trying to have my data series plotted as a bar or candle. Your add plot is not working for me - it's throwing errors complaining about it. BTW, I'm using NT7.
