visible custom indicator makes chart vertically "squished"

[jwikker]

My custom indicator works well, but as soon as I make it visible, my chart scale gets vertically compressed. What is the default vertical scale parameter (or other variable) so that my indicator doesn't override the auto scale of the chart?

To resolve issue, I made all of my draw.line and draw.text methods autoscale parameters as false. Somewhere in my code I am drawing way out of the scale of the chart, but if I do this autoscale as false at least that bad drawing (wherever it is) isn't causing issues for the rest of the chart.

Hello jwikker,

Thanks for your posts.

Glad you were able to work around the issue.

You may want to debug to find out why you are drawing at the extreme level. It is likely you have a 0 for the Y-level at some point or a calculation of a variable that results in an extremely large or small value. Form a debugging point of view, you can scroll all the way back and find that draw object that is showing at the extreme level. It is helpful to normally use the autoscale as you can miss a legit draw object that can be just above or below the scale of the chart when you don't use autoscale.
