StrategyPlot not plotting anything

[gena72]

Hello,

I'm trying to use a StrategyPlot indicator (currently in the backtest mode) as described here http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=6651
All charts come out blank. Any idea how this can be fixed? I very much need this functionality, since indicator calculations are extremely complex and can be done only inside the strategy.

Thanks.

gena72,

I am happy to assist you.

What sort of calculations? Most likely there is an error in the code causing plots to not appear. If you could post your code it would be helpful in discovering the issue.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Well, I don't think type of calculations makes any difference. Actually, the "stock" example from here http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=6651 does not seem to work on NT7 (64).
The example uses
StrategyPlot(0).Value.Set(High[0]);
StrategyPlot(1).Value.Set(Highs[1][0]);

gena,

I am able to get the reference sample to work.

Please ensure you are attaching the strategy to a chart using > Right click the chart > go to Strategies > Select the strategy. Now, ensure that "Enabled" is set to "True".

Please also be aware that this strategy will not plot in the chart tab of the Strategy Analyzer.

Note: This technique has limited functionality. It will NOT work for charts in the Strategy Analyzer during backtesting, but it will work on real-time charts.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Apparently I missed the part about this strategy not working in strategy analyzer in backtest mode. I wonder if there's any replacement functionality for backtest.
For the main chart I can use DrawLine(...), but if i want, for instance, to draw a custom oscillator, on a lower pane, there's no solution.

gena,

To plot from a strategy, you can use the following reference sample. Please be sure to read the note.

You can use Market Replay to "back-test" a strategy since its like having live tick data coming in.
