How to Plot secondary bars object on the chart within a strategy script

[tradingGary]

Hello,

Two questions:
1)Is it possible to plot a secondary bar object on the chart from within the strategy script? ( I have added the bars in the initialize method like so: Add("6A 03-12", PeriodType.Minute, 1); // Index [1] ) However, I am not able to plot it using the script (like I do manually on the chart window)

2)I have added a dataseries within my strategy script in the initialize method (var = new DataSeries(this, MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite) How do I plot it on the chart from within the strategy script? (I do use the var.set(value) to set the dataseries from within the strategy)

Thank you in advance!

Hi Gary, correct Add() series would be only used internally for calcs, but not available to add to the charting from the script - you would need to add manually like you've done on your chart.

For plotting from a NinjaScript strategy, please see this example for a technique -
