how to use the Daily OHLC indicator as candle

[junkone]

i use intraday charts and would like to see how to plot daily OHLC as cancle to see how the candle is evolving at the hourly snapshot. Can this be done? I use the daily OHLC as a line plot overlay on the hourly bars but really i would like to see the hourly snapshot of the daily bar

all i need is concept of how it can be done. i can program it out.. if its already there, let me know so i dont need to reinvest the wheel

Hi junkone, thanks for posting. The Spread indicator has a candle stick version. You can use this as an example of how to do this:

well, i tried. i removed the secondary series and reused the values with DailyHighLowClose indicator values. There are a couple of things that is odd.
1. dataseries daily high low close are truncated to 3 decimals
2. the charting scale is bit off.

could use some help here.

Hi, the price scale is not formattable, but you can turn PaintPriceMarkers = true; then comment out the PlotBrushes[i][0] = Brushes.Transparent; and base.OnRender(chartControl, chartScale); to show the price markers in the price panel. This will show you the full number in the price panel.

this is beautiful. the only last missing piece is that the indicator values for DailyClose, DailyHigh is truncating to 3 decimals. When i compare it to the CurrentDayOHL which is the source for this indicator value shows 5 decimals. How do i fix it?

[NinjaTrader_ChrisL]

Hi junkone, that is just the way indicators are displayed. There is no way to format this.

[ATTACH]n1205429[/ATTACH] i think we are discussing varied points.
CurrentDayOHL uses a double to show the properties.
public Series<double> CurrentOpen
{
get { return Values[0]; }
}
As you can see from screenshot, the format displayed is 5 decimal places

I am assigning the same value to DailyBarsIntraday indicator.
DailyOpen[0] = CurrentDayOHL().CurrentOpen[0]; // line number 93

the properties is as follows

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore]
public Series<double> DailyOpen
{
get { return Values[3]; }
}

However the values shown is truncated to 3 decimal places.

This does not make sense. how do i fix it?

Hi junkone, I am getting all decimal points in my version. I will attach it here in case something is different in your version.

the code you attached made the difference. Now i could really use the candle stick option for the indicators plots. hopefully it can handle the scaling which is really off here.

public override string FormatPriceMarker(double price)
{
//Print(price);
return price.ToString("N5");
}
