Creating a Value within Strategy and then Plotting the value on Chart

[DTSSTS]

I have never thought or attempted to do this (I may have to go back to indicator for this)

But is if possible to create private double, then thru conditions create a mathematical value (like you might do with a moving average, or any cycling indicator plot)

private double ABC;

ABC = (condtion set)

then have the strategy create a Plot of that value on the chart - preferable on the lower panels

Thanks

Hello DTSSTS,

Thanks for your post.

It would not be possible to assign a condition check to a double variable.

You could consider checking your condition and then assigning a value to the double variable within that condition. That variable could then be assigned to a plot created by AddPlot() to plot the variable value onto a chart.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.

Or, are you wanting to set a variable’s value by using C#’s conditional operator?

If so, this would be possible to do. Note that using the C# conditional operator would be considered C# education. It is against our policy to provide C# programming education services in our support department.

For information about using C# conditional operators, you could do a quick google search for publicly available links. An example of a publicly available link demonstrating C# conditional operators could be found below.

Also, see the SMA indicator script that comes default with NinjaTrader in a NinjaScript Editor window which you may find helpful since it uses a C# conditional operator to assign a value to a plot.

Let us know if we may assist further.

I did create the AddPlot using documentation, but it is plotted in the main chart candle area, and of course that does not work very well with the values, ie stock price 148.00 and MyPlot = 1.08

Can you direct me as to how to place the plot in the lower panel of chart
Thanks

Update I tried the below without success

{
DrawOnPricePanel = false;
AddPlot(Brushes.Blue, "MyCycleATRPlot");
}

Hello DTSSTS,

Thanks for your note.

You could set IsOverlay = false in State.SetDefault to have the strategy and plot set on a lower panel instead of on the price panel.

See the attached example script demonstrating this.

Let us know if we may further assist.

That is a help but it places my backbrush drawings in the lower as well. Thanks for in help.

Hello DTSSTS,

Thanks for your note.

Setting IsOverlay = false in the strategy would add the entire strategy to a lower panel.

If you would like to have a plot in a separate panel from the strategy, you would need to create an indicator with DrawOnPricePanel set to false and plots the value. Then, you could call AddChartIndicator() in the strategy to add the indicator to the strategy.
