How does Wiseman Alligator Indicator Plots in Future

[FossilBlade]

Hi There,

I am trying to make a custom indicator that colors the Wiseman Alligator States (Sleeping, Awake, Uptrend, Downtrend etc.).

I have managed use the Wiseman alligator indicator in my custom indicator to colored the zones up till the current bar but my custom indicator plot is not showing the futures lines as shown by the Wiseman Alligator Indicator.

In the below picture, I have added my custom indicator and the Wiseman Alligator indicator. The future Zone highlighted with Yellow Square is from the Wiseman Alligator. These futures lines are not visible in my custom indicator. I Basically want everything from Wiseman Alligator (including futures lines) and just color the zones.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello FossilBlade,

While this is a closed source indicator, where the code is not provided, the appearance of this is a regular plot using Displacement.

Thanks for the reply. The displacement will displace all the plots. But looking at the Wiseman Alligator indicator, it looks like individual lines have been displaced. How can that be achieved.

Hello FossilBlade,

This is correct, Displacement does affect all plots in an indicator. Also, it looks like the default Displacement it's using is 0.

It's possible this indicator custom renders the plot lines (or just the extensions of the plots) in OnRender().

Unfortunately, I also do not have access to the source code for this.
