Spread Strategy As Indicator, StrategyPlot

[tradinginzen]

I may be an idiot but I have been trying to get a strategy to print a spread of two tickers for me with zero luck. Anyone have an example? I can't even get ANYTHING to print on the StrategyPlot... user error I know but I would appreciate the help of a small tip or pointer.

Please post what you have already.

Thanks, here it is. When I add this strategy, for example to a NYA chart, I get two StrategyPlot indicators at the bottom but nothing shows up in them.

    public class ZenVolAnalysis : Strategy
    {
        #region Variables
        // Wizard generated variables
        // User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
        #endregion

        /// <summary>
        /// This method is used to configure the strategy and is called once before any strategy method is called.
        /// </summary>
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            CalculateOnBarClose = false;
            
            //Add(PeriodType.Minute, 3);
            Add("VOL", PeriodType.Minute, 30);
            Add("UVOL", PeriodType.Minute, 30);
            Add("DVOL", PeriodType.Minute, 30);
            
            /* Add our blank placeholder indicators. The parameter we pass in is used to distinguish the two
            indicators from each other. */
            Add(StrategyPlot(0));
            Add(StrategyPlot(1));
            
            StrategyPlot(0).Plots[0].PlotStyle = PlotStyle.Bar;
            StrategyPlot(1).Plots[0].PlotStyle = PlotStyle.Bar;
            
            // Set the color for the indicator plots
            StrategyPlot(0).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.LawnGreen;
            StrategyPlot(1).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Crimson;
        
            // Set the panel which the plots will be placed on. 1 = price panel, 2 = panel under the price panel, etc.
            StrategyPlot(0).PanelUI = 2;
            StrategyPlot(1).PanelUI = 3;
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if(Input[0] != 0)
            {
                StrategyPlot(0).Value.Set(Math.Round(BarsArray[1][0]/Input[0],2));
                StrategyPlot(1).Value.Set(Math.Round(BarsArray[2][0]/Input[0],2));
            }
        }

Thanks for posting the code tradinginzen - did you also check in realtime? This is limited in functionality and will only work on realtime charts.
