Invisible Bars

[ClFil]

Hello, i'm working with Orderflow bars to "scan" the market but i have to put my trade in the micro contracts, so as already read in past threads i made a chart with double data series with the micro contract with line on close, as you can see in the picture. But it's really hard to working in this method and it's not fluent. So i tryed to create a custom bars type simply through the ninjascript editor adding nothing plus what the wizard ad by itself and.... it works! So now i got invisible bars in the chart, but... when i enter in a position through the chart trader i cannot see where i have the trade, stop loss and take profit and then i cannot move the stop or the take profit. So What should i do to improve and watch the position and take profits on the chart? Thanks in advance!!

Hello CIFil,

Thank you for your post.

A bars type with nothing in it won't give you an error, but you won't have any bars for that data series either without adding code to call AddBar or UpdateBar.

It's worth noting that the MNQ would need to be selected and Chart Trader would need to be active to see the position.

You can simply change the brushes for the data series to transparent to make invisible bars - this can be adjusted in the data series window. You can also use BarBrush with a transparent brush in an indicator, or you could make a do-nothing Chart Style, but you need the Bars Type to actually create the bars.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
