Indicator plot as candles

[mantak007]

Hi, in some external indicators I saw plot shaped as bars or candles - open, close, high, low. Is this supported directly in NT7 and 8? If not, what's the best practice for coding it? Thank you.

Hello,

It would depend on what you had seen regarding how that would be accomplished.

There are some pre-defined Plot styles you can use that includes a Bar type, you could test these using an indicator that has a plot like the SMA. In the Plot options, you can see the different Plot Styles. If any of these are specifically what you had seen, you could set the PlotStyle from script using the following:

Add(new Plot(Color.Blue, PlotStyle.Bar, "myPlot"));

Otherwise could you provide an image of the item you had seen for me to better understand the question?

I look forward to being of further assistance.
