Plot second candle series on default one?

[dbooksta]

I have a custom indicator that I want to overlay on the standard price chart as a second candle series. Is there a straightforward way to display 4 DataSeries as candles without having to build the candles from scratch (e.g., using DrawLines and DrawRectangles)?

Hello Dbooksta,

Thank you for your post.

The Heiken Ashi indicator does this with the candles.

You can view the source code in Tools -> Edit NinjaScript -> Indicator

You will want to look into the Plot() method and see how it is done.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I did look at that as an example, but it's not a good one because (A) it overrides methods which cause the standard candles to not be displayed, and (B) it draws the new candles from scratch, which is sad if necessary.
