AddChartIndicator(RegressionChannel(200,3));

[BartMan]

I use AddChartIndicator and am unclear on how to do so with the regression channel.

Any examples

Hello BartMan,

Thanks for your post.

You could use the Strategy Builder to create a condition using the RegressionChannel indicator with the 'Plot on chart' setting checked and then click the 'View code' button to see the generated syntax for how this is done.

The code might look something like this:

//class level variable
private Indicators.RegressionChannel RegressionChannel1;

//OnStateChange
else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
RegressionChannel1 = RegressionChannel(Close, 200, 3);
RegressionChannel1.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.DarkGray;
RegressionChannel1.Plots[1].Brush = Brushes.DodgerBlue;
RegressionChannel1.Plots[2].Brush = Brushes.DodgerBlue;
AddChartIndicator(RegressionChannel1);
}

Thanks, but that still does not work I get ==> RegressionChannelB1.cs,The name 'AddChartIndicator' does not exist in the current context,CS0103,60,5,

I believe it is a name conflict as @RegressionChannel.cs exist as a drawing tool and as an indicator.

Hello BartMan,

Thanks for your notes.

I see that the script you shared is an indicator.

The AddChartIndicator() method can only be used in a custom NinjaScript strategy, not a custom NinjaScript indicator.

You would have to add three plots to your script for each plot the RegressionChannel indicator has and then assign the RegressionChannel indicator plot values (Middle, Upper, Lower) to each plot you added to the script.

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

Thx I use addoncode and run against indicators, no strategies involved. I have created my own custom data series. I thought I had added addchart to indicators before, but it was in strategies I wrote for a colleague. The addon gives more control.
