In Strategy AddPlot to panel (not overlay) plus add indicator with overlay

[Airwave]

Hello everyone,

I would like to as if it is possible to create a strategy that draws lines in an extra panel, so not overlay and add an indicator with AddChartIndicator() as overlay.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Airwave, thanks for posting.

It is possible to plot and draw in a separate panel in a strategy. You will need this set up in State.SetDefaults:

IsOverlay = false; //plot in seperate panel
DrawOnPricePanel = false; //place drawing objects on the panel
AddPlot(Brushes.Red, "MyPlot"); //plot for the panel

Best regards,

Hi Chris,

thank you, that was, what I was doing. But when I then add an overlay Indicator with AddChartIndicator() this one is also been pushed into the separate panel although I want this stay on top of the bars.

Thanks in advnace.

Hi Airwave, thanks for your reply.

The indicator you are adding to the chart must be IsOverlay= false. I just tested with the SMA indicator and that is added to the price panel from a strategy.
