Plotting a Variable

[lee612801]

Hi,

I would like to add a plot of variable1 on a second panel. What would be the best way to do this?

Here is the code:

#region Variables

private DataSeries ds1;
private double variable1;

#endregion

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add("SHY", PeriodType.Minute, 1);
CalculateOnBarClose = false;

ds1 = new DataSeries(this);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(BarsInProgress == 0)
{
ds1.Set(Closes[0][0] / Closes[1][0]);
variable1 = (SMA(ds1, 14)[0]);
}

{

Code goes here...

}

}


Thanks,

Lee

Hello lee612801,

Thank you for your post.

You would add a plot and the set it to the variable.

For example:

protected override void Initialize() 
{
Add("SHY", PeriodType.Minute, 1);
[B]Add(new Plot(Color.Blue, "myPlot"));[/B]

CalculateOnBarClose = false; 

ds1 = new DataSeries(this);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(BarsInProgress == 0)
{
ds1.Set(Closes[0][0] / Closes[1][0]); 
variable1 = (SMA(ds1, 14)[0]);
}
[B]Value.Set(variable1);[/B]
}

Hi Patrick,

thank you for the reply. How would I then plot that onto a separate second panel? I don't want to plot that onto the primary panel.

Thanks,

Hello lee612801,

Thank you for your response.

In Initialize() set Overlay to False: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...t7/overlay.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
