How to plot override without bar data visible

[Sim22]

Hi there,

I know that plot override is not supported here however this is a question that pertains to other coding situations as well. I'm sure someone can point me in the right direction

Basically as you can see by the image attached I have plotted today's and yesterday's bars to the right of the chart. I do not want the primary data series (Daily bars) visible (the white bars on the left). When I set the primary data series (Daily bars) to Color.Transparent OR I scroll the Daily bars off the chart, my custom plots disappear and my scaling disappears, as you can see by the image.

I'm using:

ChartControl.GetYByValue(this, price);

as suggested by koganam here

I "sort of" understand why this is happening, but how to prevent it? Do I need to add an "invisible" High or Low plot set to AutoScale = True and THEN set the data series bars to Color.Transparent?

Any tips in the right direction would be just great. Thank you!

Hi Simon, a transparent plot will have special handling so will likely not help here. I think you could set a dummy plot to the chart's background color (so it would not be visible) and have autoscale enabled for it? That way you should retain your scale.

Okay, thanks Bertrand. That makes sense.
