AddChartIndicator() for indicators?

[kevinenergy]

The AddChartIndicator() method on Strategies is very useful for visualizing indicators when developing a strategy, is there any way to Add a chart indicator to another indicator so that it can be viewed without re-implementing a new plot and all the drawing again?

Hello kevinenergy
Thanks for your post.

Currently, there is not a way to directly add an indicator to the chart from another indicator. There exists a feature request to expose AddChartIndicator() in the Indicator namespace, I will add a vote for feature ID SFT-899.

Currently, we must add the indicator to the chart manually if you want the visual representation of the indicators being used in your indicator. Alternatively, you can make your own plots and plot the indicator's data, or you might have to mimic the OnRender() method of the indicator being used by your script.

Here is the documentation on AddPlot and OnRender():
