Indicator to plot behind price?

[KennyK]

Hi,
I am guessing it's a simple thing, but I just have not been able to work it out.
I want to know how to change an indicator to plot behind price rather than in front of price.
I have played around with the obvious, these 2 lines:
IsOverlay = true;
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
But didn't achieve the desired result.

So how is it done?

Cheers,
Ken.

this.ZOrder = 0;
Should help.

Hello KennyK,

Thanks for your post.

Please see the helpguide (and example) here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...?setzorder.htm

Thanks Guys,
Paul I have done what you suggested and it has not changed any thing.
This is the "OnStateChange" section:
protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Description = NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptIndicatorDe scriptionDarvas;
Name = "DarvasKK";
IsOverlay = true;
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
if (State == State.Historical)
{
// Make sure our object plots behind the chart bars
SetZOrder(-1);
}

This indicator is a copy of the NT8 Darvas, the only change I am wanting to make is for it to plot behind the bars. So if you need to look at the rest of the code you know where to find it.
Cheers,
Ken.

Hello KennyK,

Thanks for your reply.

Please review the helpguide link previously provided on SetZorder. The example in the helpguide link shows setting in State.Historical and the notes in the link specifically advise, " Assigning specific ZOrder indices to draw at should be done once the State has reached State.Historical"

Please set the Z-order in State.Historical

Isn't that what I did?

Isn't that what I did? I did study the help guide first and did as instructed.
Please advise?

Hello KennyK,

Thanks for your reply.

In the OnStateChange() method there is the conditional statement of:
if (State == State.SetDefaults) and the action part is what is captured between { }. The statement you added has been placed in State.SetDefaults { }.

The condition statement for State.Historical would need to be outside of State.SetDefaults {}. For example

if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
// all of the state default action statements
}

if (State == State.Historical)
{
SetZOrder(-1);
}

Hey thanks Paul, that made it clear.
Works a treat now.
