Plot High/Low of bar on right scale

[fs]

Hi

I like to plot the high and low of each bar on the right scale like the current price. I have written simple code to do that as below. It works fine, but the only way I am able to plot the high/low values on the right scale is by plotting a dot on the high and low of each bar. I'd prefer to just see the values on the right scale without having to plot dots on the chart as I find this distracting. Is there a way to do that? If I make the dots the same as the background color, it mask a little bit off the high and low of the bar since it is actually overlapping.

fs, have you tried setting the dots to 'transparent'? This would still display the value on the right side scale...

Hi

Thank you for your suggestion. That almost worked. The dots don't show up when setting to transparent, but unfortunately the values on the right scale are also transparent and show up as "empty" price boxes.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Yes, that is correct - maybe you can can access the needed values also in the DataBox, or you plot them right to the currentbar on the chart with DrawText.

You can always make the dot size zero, and set to the color you want in the mean time. Or even change to Hash style.

Thanks again for the replies. What I have done now is setting the size to zero. I will look up how drawtext work to display that at the bottom of the screen like the time counter indicator do. Still feeling my way around in NT script.
