Showing Info for a group of candles

[reach4thelasers]

My indicator finds levels of significant price pressure in the charts and highlights groups of candles with a rectangle. I need to view various data that my indicator has worked out for each candle group. Is there any way to display this in the databox? Can the data be bound to a candle group or shape in some way?

Hello reach4thelasers,

Thank you for writing in. You could always Print your own custom data box using the DrawText/Fixed methods.

Otherwise you can accomplish this by creating additional plots' and assigning them values at each bar. For each plot you add, you will have one additional value in the data box. The plots are sync'd to the chart so you can move the mouse over bars and each bar can have its own value. You can then set all the values to 0 when not inside a candle group or shape. If you didn't want the plots to be visible, you could set their color to transparent.

Please let me know if you require further explanation or examples.
Thank you in advance.
