Value plot drop down menu in Strategy Builder

[TheTechnician86]

Greetings!

I am looking for documentation on how to create the Value plot dropdown menu (on the left side under Plot) that is used in the strategy builder. I have evaluated almost all of the built in scripts that have them but have not been able to decipher what the piece of code is that creates that drop down menu.

The goal I want to achieve is to select one of the variables in my indicator by using the drop down menu (on the left side of strategy builder) set that to equals (in the middle of the strategy builder) and set the condition to true one bar ago (on the right side of the strategy builder).

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello TheTechnician86,

Plots are added with the AddPlot() method, which populates the Values[] collection.
The Values[plot index] must be returned by a public Series<double> for the indicator to appear in the Strategy Builder.

Below is a link to the support article on adding plots to indicators.

Thanks Chelsea B. Unfortunately, this did not work for me. I have attached pictures of my code and where they are in the script. I am trying for my PosDiv and NegDiv conditions to show up as a selectable.

Picture 0 - Variable declarations
Picture 1 - On Bar update location of variables
Picture 2 - If currentbar > 0 declaration
Picture 3 - How I am using PosDiv
Picture 4 - Outputting PosDiv like the example provided to a Value[x][x]

Not sure what I am doing wrong. Only thing I can come up with is that I am using draw.text and draw.shape function to plot a letter or a shape.

Any ideas?

Hello TheTechnician86,

May I also see the screenshots of the public Series<double> declarations so I can see they are returning the Values[plot indexes]?
