Non plotting series

[BrianARice]

In an indicator I have 4 AddPlots... and I define, update and access them as in the code below.

However, the 4th one (Atr)... I don't want to show up on the chart... I just want to access it from code in my strategy... do I use AddDataSeries instead, if so what should the parameter(s) be?

Also, if I did plot it... is there a way to get it into a separate panel?

                IsOverlay                    = true;
                ...
                AddPlot(Brushes.Orange, "Upper");
                AddPlot(Brushes.Blue, "PDC");
                AddPlot(Brushes.Orange, "Lower");
                AddPlot(Brushes.Orange, "Atr");
                ...
            Upper[0] = pdc + atr;            
            PDC[0] = pdc;
            Lower[0] = pdc - atr;
            AtrSeries[0] = atr;
            ...
        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore()]
        public Series<double> Upper
        {
            get { return Values[0]; }
        }
        
        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore()]
        public Series<double> PDC
        {
            get { return Values[1]; }
        }
        
        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore()]
        public Series<double> Lower
        {
            get { return Values[2]; }
        }
        
        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore()]
        public Series<double> Atr
        {
            get { return Values[3]; }
        }

Hello BrianARice,

Thanks for your post.

If you don't wish to see the plot, set the color to be transparent and then you can access as you have been in your strategy.

You would not be able to set it into a separate panel.

Alternatively, you could just use the ATR() directly in the strategy.

Ok... that worked great... one of the things I was concerned about was that the Y Axis would still include the 4th data series... but when it's set to Transparent it doesn't.
