Plot a variable

[n8dogg59]

I'm new to ninjatrader and trying to learn ninjascript/c#. I'm trying to create a simple indicator to get started. I have two variables called today and yesterday. I have two plots called blue and white. What is the line of code I would use to assign the each variable to a plot? Any help is appreciated. I've spent hours just trying to figure out this simple task and just can't do it.

Hello n8dogg59,

In OnStateChange() when State is State.SetDefault add a plot with AddPlot().

In OnBarUpdate() set the current bar's value of that plot by assigning a value to Value[0].

Below is a public link to the help guide on AddPlot() and Value.
AddPlot() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...us/addplot.htm
Value - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...n-us/value.htm

For a demonstration, take a look at the code of the SMA indicator.

Below I am including a link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript.

Thanks for the quick reply, that helped. I can now see one plot but cannot figure out how to see the second. When I enter it how the tutorial shows it won't compile. This is what I have.

Value[0][0]
Value[1][0]

What's the correct way to do it?

Hello n8dogg59,

For multiple plots you would need to use Values (plural).

Values[0][0] = 1;
Values[1][0] = 2;

Below is a public link to the help guide on Values.
