Issue with AddChartIndicator() not Plotting in Strategy

[AgriTrdr]

Hi,

I've added an AddChartIndicator through Strategy Builder. The indicator is not plotting in my strategy. The indicator is on a secondary data series and inside the indicator file it does have another secondary data series to use Volumetric bars. Below is what I've:

IndicatorName1 = IndicatorName(BarsArray[1], Setting1, Setting2);
IndicatorName1.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Blue;
AddChartIndicator(IndicatorName1);

Hello AgriTrdr,

From the help guide:
"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)"

This means that BarsArray[1] cannot be supplied to the indicator if you plan to use this with AddChartIndicator().

Instead, add the data series in the indicator with AddDataSeries() (and to the host script) and use that series to perform the calculations.
