[richbois]

Hi All

I am trying to plot 2 CCI in the same panel IE panel 2

these 2 are part of a strategy and when I use addchartindicator they need to plot in same Panel

any ideas could help as I searched everywhere and didnt find a solution

Thank you in advance

Hello Richard,

Thanks for your post.

You would need to set IsOverlay to false, change the Panel property that the indicator plots to in the strategy, and call AddChartIndicator() to add the indicator to the strategy.

See the attached example script which demonstrates plotting an indicator from a strategy in a panel other than the price panel.

Also, see the help guide documentation below for more information.

Hi richbois,

Brandon's example scripts contain SMA/EMA and ADL/MACD pairs. How do you have the CCI/CCI pair (i. e. two CCI) in your scripts. Please, what are your CCI settings ? Meanwhile, is it feasible to implement your strategy with just Indicators instead of Strategy.

Hello richbois,

Thanks for your note.

"when i restart NT then they go into 2 separate panels. any ideas why??"

I am not able to reproduce the behavior you are reporting. Upon enabling the strategy on a chart window, the indicator plots are placed in panel 2 of the chart.

Occasionally, the indicators may seem to plot on the price panel when the strategy is still calculating. However, when the strategy is done calculating the plots from the indicators are placed in panel 2.

Let us know if we may assist further.

I created 2 CCI with the parameters hard coded called I1 I2

this is the code in the strategy

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
f1 = F1(Close, true,false,1,1);
i3 = I3();
i1 = I1();
i2 = I2();

i1.Panel = i2.Panel = 1;

AddChartIndicator(f1);
AddChartIndicator(i3);
AddChartIndicator(i1);
AddChartIndicator(i2);

the strategy takes trades when the conditions are met

Sorry i missed you answer. The problem is that I1 and I2 end up in panel 2 and 3 instead of just Panel 2

Hello richbois and omololu,

Thanks for your notes.

I am unsure as to why the indicators are appearing in panel 2 and panel 3 of the chart based on the code you shared.

That said, see the attached example script which demonstrates plotting 2 CCI indicators in panel 2 on a chart from a strategy.

Hi,

I can't seem to see "the conditions" in your above codes. Please what are the conditions ? I want to implement your method using just Indicators ONLY.

here is the clean up code that does the same issue when i close NT and restart
