Setting Panel on which Indicator Appears

[trader_rick]

Hi guys,

Apologies if this has been addressed previously but I can't find it.

I'm developing an indicator which I want to appear on panel 1 programatically rather than me setting this through the menu when I add the indicator to the chart.

Is this possible? ChartPanel.PanelIndex seems to be a read-only property.

thanks

Hello trader_rick,

Its possible to have the indicator be added to a new panel, however, there is not a documented way of having the indicator automatically be added to panel 1 specifically especially if there is already something in panel 1.

To have the indicator be set to a new panel, have IsOverlay set to false in State.SetDefaults.

If you were to use a NinjaScript Strategy to load the indicators on the chart, this does allow the panel to be selected for the added indicator with the ChartIndicators collection.

Attached is an example script that demonstrates.

(Update February 25th, 2021 - The indicator calls needed to be in State.DataLoaded)
