Using Draw objects with multiple bars

[GuyFB]

In a strategy I added a bar object with a different time frame using the same instrument. I added the strategy to a chart and manual added the bar series to the chart so that now I can see both the original series and the added series.

I then used the BarsInProgress == 1 selection to draw a dot hoping on the added series. However, the dot only appears only at the original time frame.

Draw objects can NOT be used with multiple time frames except on the base time frame! CORRECT?

Hi GuyFB,

Correct, although you are accessing another series, the series that you add the strategy to (same for an indicator) is the one the drawing objects will be applied to.

Solution

Tim,
There is a solution to this problem::

If you are dealing with two data series and wish to plot draw object on one then make that the primary series in the chart and change the programing in your strategy appropriately. Works like a charm...
