got this far ... how do I plot this?

[Trader.Jon]

Help .. I bet its obvious, but obviously not for me..

So I did manage to get my calculations from the data but I cant figure how to plot a double value that I ended up with:

protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
//...... other stuff ...
double _sUM_diff = (_sUM_diff12 - _sUM_diff7);

//Getting method name errors when this is tried
Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "_sUM_diff"));

//and also tried variations of this with errors in 'variables' and 'method'
//from the NT6.5 help files
Add(_sUM_diff);


------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously I am not seeing what I should.

Any input is appreciated,
Jon

Hi Trader.Jon,

Is this in an indicator or strategy?

You need to "set" the plot, and use the appropriate code in the Properties section as well.
Here's an example of "set" plot - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...culationLogic1

You can use the wizard to create plots and see how it done as well - "Tools>New NS>Indicator"

Tim,

This is within a strategy ... sorry to not make that clear.

I looked at the indicator wizard and was totally lost ...

Hi Trader.Jon,

Have you review this sample?

Tim,

As stated .. I am trying to plot a 'double' generated within a strategy

I tried that sample:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=6651

This is how I interpret that sample using the code I have to plot:
protected override void Initialize()

Add(_sUM_diff(0));
_sUM_diff(0).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Blue;
_sUM_diff(0).PanelUI = 1;
_sUM_diff(0).Value.Set[0]);



protected override void OnBarUpdate()
_sUM_diff(0).Value.Set[0];


Getting all kinds of compile errors: what am I missing here?

Trader.Jon the sample Tim pointed you to use 2 'dummy' indicators to achieve a plot from the strategy (which would normally not offer plotting options) - have you imported those indicators provided as well? Likely those are missing and thus you would see the compile errors.
