indicator with both overlay and separate pane

[uday12]

I'm a newbie to Ninjatrader.

Suppose I have an indicator where I have two lines, e.g. two moving averages that I need to draw over the price and a third indicator, e.g. difference of two moving averages that I want to draw on a separate pane. How can I do this?

From browsing the documentation, the way to choose overlay or not is to put a line

Overlay = true;

in the Initialize() function/method, e.g.

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "SMA1"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "SMA2"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "SMADiff"));
Overlay = true;
}

How can I change this to allow overlay for some plots (e.g. SMA1, SMA2) and a separate pane for others (e.g. SMADiff) ?

Hello uday12,

Thanks for your post.

Regrettably this is not possible (plotting in more than one panel in the same indicator). The solution here would be to separate into two indicators. Alternative would be to manually add the SMAs to the main panel and use the indicator to show the difference in an added panel.
