Hello,

This would be expected in the case you are Calling indicator 1 from indicator 2.

Calling an indicator does not add it visually to a chart. you would instead need to add the method into indicator 2 and call it from there to see it visually.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

The question is how to force to draw from the indicator Test1 using indicator Test2?

Hello,
You can not call and Indicator inside of another indicator in NinjaTrader and have it plot. This is only possible in Strategies using the Add() method. To have the drawing objects created in indicator test1 you would need to put those methods into Test2. In other words anything that you are wanting to draw with an indicator must be all created in that indicator.
