New Indicator

[SQuant]

how can I access the current price of an instrument like "6E" and plot it in a new panel on a chart with a different instrument from a script or indicator? Thanks

Try using the help page and search OnMarketData() method, you can store and check last price bid and ask in that method and then do things when you have the price. Although you can get it fast using GetCurretnAsk(0) or GetCurrentBid(0) and use your logic on what the most recent price of those values.

Hello SQuant,

Thanks for your post.

Will the indicator be running on the 6E instrument?

If so, you could add a plot to the indicator using the AddPlot() method and assign the price you want to the plot, such as Close[0] to assign the plot the Close price.

To have the indicator plot on a separate panel, make sure to set the IsOverlay property to false.

See the help guide documentation below for more information and sample code.
