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

When running a strategy on a chart you may find the need to plot values onto a chart. 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.
