Drawings from indicator invisible second dataseries

[Airwave]

Dear everyone,

I've build an indicator with several drawings like:

Draw.Line(this, Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), true, CurrentBar - idPast, indicatorPast, 0, indicatorPresence, Brushes.Red, DashStyleHelper.Dot, 1);


This indicator should run on an second dataseries within a strategy.
Therfore I've added an additional dataseries within a strategy:

if (State == State.Configure)
AddDataSeries(this.Instrument.FullName, BarsPeriodType.Minute, 10, Data.MarketDataType.Last);

My Indicator is loaded via

if (State == State.DataLoaded){

myInd = MyIndicator(BarsArray[1]);
AddChartIndicator(myInd);

}

The indicator with it's plotting is loaded and I can see the drawing lines.
Unfortunately everything that is been drawed via Draw.* is not visible. When I load the indicator in the main dataseries as the strategy, the drawings are visible.

Could anyone help to get the drawings visible?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Hi all,

I found out a major additional problem.

It seems, that the additional-data-series is not been loaded if the chart selected period is lower than the requested one.

Example:
I open a chart with period of 30min. Than I add the strategy, that should add a dataseries of 10min (like in upper example).
This seems to work, but the data seems to be not correct. (That seems to be the next problem).

So, I opened a chart in 1min, but then the entire dataseries of 10min is not been loaded!
E.g. the indicators "OnBarUpdate" section is also never been executed.

Could anyone help, what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Hello Airwave,

Thank you for your post.

If you would like to use a secondary series for the indicator's input, you would need to add the secondary series in the indicator itself as stated in the Notes section of the AddChartIndicator help guide documentation.

An indicator being added via AddChartIndicator() cannot use any additional data series hosted by the calling strategy, but can only use the strategy's primary data series. If you wish to use a different data series for the indicator's input, you can add the series in the indicator itself and explicitly reference it in the indicator code (please make sure though the hosting strategy has the same AddDataSeries() call included as well)

See the help guide documentation below for more information.
