    plot an oscillator on a signal

    I have an indicator that plots buy/sell signals How can i plot oscillator on a signals over time? the values of the oscillator can simply be 1 for buys and -1 for sells ... so basically an indicator on an indiocator....the code looks something like this
    Code:
    				Alert("Volume Alert", NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High,Instrument.FullName+": Volume above threshold", "Alert1.wav", 10, Color.White, Color.Yellow);
    						if (Open[0]<=Close[0])
    							DrawArrowDown("tag_"+CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, High[0]+1*TickSize, Color.Red);

    Hello,

    Thank you for the question.

    I wanted to clarify this question, I will explain how I have understood the question, can you provide details to let me know if my thinking is correct?

    I understand this as you have an indicator that is drawing arrows when your condition is true. You are trying to plot a line based on this indicators arrows or the more specifically the condition that causes the arrow. Is this correct?

    I look forward to being of further assistance.

      that is correct

      that is correct ... i want to plot a simple binary line/dot/bar when my conditions are met. in this case when a buy is triggered plot 1 when a sell is triggered plot -1

        Hello,

        For a 1 or 0 a bar generally is the easiest to see, for this the best example would be the VOL indicator that comes with NinjaTrader.

        Looking at the code you will see 2 sections of code that contribute to plotting a value.

        Code:
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
        	Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Blue, 2), PlotStyle.Bar, "Volume"));
        	Add(new Line(Color.DarkGray, 0, "Zero line"));
        }
        This creates a Plot that can be used.


        Code:
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
        	Value.Set(Volume[0]);
        }
        Value would be the default name for the first or single plot in an indicator, please see the following link for more information;


        You could simply set the value when the condition becomes true to 1 and that would make a 1 value bar plotted.

        I look forward to being of further assistance.
