Exposing value calculated in bartype

[pjsmith]

Hello,

I have a custom value that is calculated in a custom bartype in order to form the bars. I would like that shown on screen. I am not very familiar with bartypes. It seems that any rendering is typically normally done in the chartstyle?

Could you suggest a supported way for me to render that value from the BarType internals to the chart? I'm quite happy with OnRender etc.

Thanks.

Hello pjsmith,

Thank you for your post.

BarsTypes scripts are used to calculate the Open, High, Low, and Close values then return the bars object. Next, the ChartStyle does the rendering of the ChartBars object. It is not supported and might not be possible to render the value from a BarsType script; it would be best to do the calculation and render the value from an indicator script.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.
