Strategy Syntax

[safetrading]

I'm using a strategy with this in the Initialize section;

Add(StrategyPlot(0));
StrategyPlot(0).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Lime;
StrategyPlot(0).PanelUI = 3;

I am unable however to find the syntax to designate the plot style (bar, line, etc) and width (1,2, etc) for this plot. Would you please point me in the direction where I can find this?

thanks,

Safetrading

I received the link from you regarding the Plot syntax. It was helpful except for one item. I did not see anything referring to how to designate the PlotStyle, ie, Line, Bar, etc. I tried using the following which was a similar format to the other Pen.XXX, but it did not work;

StrategyPlot(1).Plots[0].Pen.Style = Bar;

I would appreciate it if you could show me this one as well. Thanks again for your assistance.

Sorry about missing that part, this could unfortunately not be set / changed this way programmatically. But you could change it for the plot directly in the StrategyPlot indicator itself.

This is most helpful indeed. What would the proper syntax be to change the lable of the plot from StrategyPlot? It gets kind of confusing when all the indicators are the same name.

I tried StrategyPlot(0).Plots[0].Name = "xxx" but nothing seemed to change.

Also, I've added three indicators to my strategy. The third being a ROC indicator which is a ratio of two other instruments. It plots fine on the chart, but when I try to add a line at the "0" level, it crashes NT.


StrategyPlot(2).Lines[0].Value = 20;

reticent67, glad to hear - both items you mentioned would unfortunately not be supported for this technique, please add / change them in the originating indicator you add for display.

I believe that for Pens, the style is set with DashStyle, not Style.
