increase bar padding

[Chippy]

Is there a way to increase the space between candles without increasing the candle width? I prefer to do this from inside an indicator or even a strategy, but manually will work too. I would like to be able to draw objects in the interstitial space between bars.

Hello Chippy,

Thanks for your post.

"Is there a way to increase the space between candles without increasing the candle width?"

Unfortunately, no you cannot increase the space between candles without increasing the candle width.

"I would like to be able to draw objects in the interstitial space between bars."

Please see the attached example script, MultiPlotsPerBarDynamicExample, that demonstrates drawing in between bars. This would not be an exact example, however, it could give you some direction for how to draw there with SharpDX.

Also, see the help guide documentation below about working with SharpDX.

Thanks. I imported the zip file, but I am not seeing "MultiPlotsPerBarDynamicExample" in my indicator list. I have imported numerous indicators before and have never had this problem?

Hello Chippy,

Thanks for your note.

After importing the indicator example, you could find the indicator located in a subfolder named 'CustomRenderingExamples', and the indicator is named "MultiPlotsPerBarDynamic".

You could view the code for this indicator by opening a New > NinjaScript Editor window, opening the Indicators folder, opening the CustomRenderingExamples subfolder, and selecting the MultiPlotsPerBarDynamic file.

See the attached screenshot demonstrating this.
