How to plot values of an indicator to its normal ticksize? For example I want to plot the high value of EURUSD but my indicator will only plot up to 3 decimal places. How to plot the normal high value?

Hello luxurious_04,

Thanks for your note.

To plot the high of your primary dataseries set the plot value to the value of the high dataseries with 0 bars ago.

For example:

in the Initialize() section:
Add(new Plot(Color.Blue, PlotStyle.Line, "myPlot"));

in the OnBarUpdate section:
Value.Set(High[0]);

This would create a line plot that connects the highs of the primary instrument.

Also, for example:
Value.Set(High[0] + 2 * TickSize);

This would create a line plot that connects the high plus 2 ticks of the primary instrument.

Below is a link to the help guide on the Value dataseries object.

I tried that one but when the values plotted on the right side are being round to 2 decimal places. In the chart the high is 1.3093 and in my indicator the plotted dot values is 1.31 and I don't want that. I have used Values[0].Set(High[0]).

Hello luxurious_04,

To do my testing I am using the $EURUSD instrument.

With this instrument I have done prints to the output window showing that the High[0] is showing up to the 4th decimal place. (current high is 1.3014).

I then use Value.Set(High[0]) to set the plot to the high. The plot is currently showing at 1.3014.

This means that the High can contain more than 2 decimal places and the Plot is able to display it properly.

This instrument is showing the 10 thousands decimal place on the chart correct?

If you print the value of High[0] to the output window, does the print show the 10 thousands decimal place?


I look forward to your reply.

Yes it prints 10 thousands decimal. I also printed out the plot value like this Print("Current High: +Value[0]"); and in the output window it prints thousands decimal but the indicator line that has the value is only 2 decimal places instead of 1.3096 it prints 1.31.
