Displaying Indicators

10-04-2011, 11:39 AM

I know that I can use somthing like Add(VOL()); to display an external indicator within a srtrategy, but what if I want to display an indicator that has been generated by code within the strategy. Is that possible? If so could you please tell me how?

Thanks
Dave

If these values are internal strategy calculations that are difficult to migrate to an indicator, you can use the following technique to achieve a plot. NinjaTrader 8 With NinjaTrader 8 we introduced strategy plots which provide the ability

You need the dummy indicators as shown in the sample, but can set their values within the strategy.
