One instance of an indicator displayed on more panels

[emuns]

Hello,

is it possible to display one instance of an indicator on 3 panels?
I have an indicator which contains 3 different plots. Displaying of every plot is conditioned by bool variable. Let´s say that I would like to plot all of them. Do I need to add 3 instances of the indicator (every to a new panel), or is it possible to maintain it by script?

Thank you

Hello emuns,

Thanks for your question.

Indicators can only plot to one panel, that can be the Price Panel or the indicator can create its own panel. This is controlled by IsOverlay.

To plot to additional panels, you could create an indicator that hosts your main indicator and uses IsOverlay = false. This indicator can then plot the plots of the indicator it is hosting, and those plots would appear in a new panel.

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

Hi Jim,

you could create an indicator that hosts your main indicator and uses IsOverlay = false

beeing familiar with SampleStrategyPlot and SamplePanelPlot, I tried to imitate it like below, where MyIndic1 is on price panel and MyIndic2 is the indicator we try to plot on a second panel.

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
                myPanel2Plot = MyIndic2();
                myPanel2Plot.MyIndic1= this;
                AddChartIndicator(myPanel2Plot);
}

AddChartIndicator() does not compile in the indicator class.
How should we proceed to host between two indicators like suggested ?

AddChartIndicator only works in a strategy. Maybe NinjaTrader_Jim meant to create a strategy that hosts your indicator?

Hello Amedeus,

Thanks for your notes.

AddChartIndicator() can only be used in NinjaScript strategies as QuantKey_Bruce mentioned.

Indicators can only plot in one panel determined by IsOverlay.

It is advised to create 2 separate indicators if you want plots to appear on separate panels. One that plots to the Price Panel and one that plots to a new indicator panel.

It is possible to have a strategy place the indicators in a specified panel, but this is possible because the added indicators are managed by the strategy.
