Calling a simple Indicator from a strategy

[GARZONJ]

Simple question that has given me a hard time to solve.

I have a strategy and I would like to invoke the NetChangeDisplay indicator (this comes with NT8) from within the strategy.

How would I call this indicator from within my strategy?

Then I do the following code, the indicator never shows up.

private NetChangeDisplay testing;

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
testing = NetChangeDisplay(Cbi.PerformanceUnit.Percent, NetChangePosition.TopRight);
}

What is it that I am missing?

Hello GARZONJ,

From code its not expected for any indicator to show up unless you had used AddChartIndicator.

The net change requires OnMarketData to be used so it would need to be used in realtime to have it seen with AddChartIndicator.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
