Indicator in strategy?

[igorvlassov]

Hello,

What graphic possibilities in strategy? I need to draw point of desired color on the chart when some event occurs. Is it possible?


Regards,

Please see the Help Guide for all the available draw objects. Go to the index and just search Draw. You will find it listed out.

Josh,

I added the code to my strategy:

[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]private[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] iDotCount = [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]1[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2];[/SIZE][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]protected[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]void[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] PrintDot([/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]double[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] y, Color color)[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]{ [/FONT][/SIZE]
[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]string[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] sTag = [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000]"tag"[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]+iDotCount.ToString();[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]iDotCount++;[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]DrawDot(sTag, [/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]true[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2], [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2], y, color);[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]}[/FONT][/SIZE]

and try to draw it like:

[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]PrintDot(High[[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]]+TickSize,Color.LightGreen);[/SIZE][/FONT]

but see nothing on the chart. Can you say where I'm wrong, please?

Instead of creating a function I suggest you just do:

DrawDot("tag"[B][COLOR=Red] + CurrentBar[/COLOR][/B], HIgh[0] + TickSize, Color.Blue);

I'll try this, thanks!

Oh, I was so stupid! I simply must start my strategy from indicator window.
