Line Plot

[velocity]

I am trying to plot a constant line at 3 and -3 on a panel. this is what I have:

Add(new Plot(Color.Transparent, PlotStyle.Line, "Plot8")); // Plot 8
Add(new Plot(Color.Transparent, PlotStyle.Line, "Plot9")); // Plot 9
Plot8.Set(3); // Make Oscillator Scale constant at 3 on average
Plot9.Set(-3); // Make Oscillator Scale constant at -3 on average

I keep getting an error that:

The name Plot8 does not exist in the current context
The name Plot9 does not exist in the current context

Where am I going wrong?

Hi velocity, are the associated dataseries added in the properties for Plot8 and Plot9?

[velocity]

i added the following

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public DataSeries Plot8
{
get { return Values[8]; }
}

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public DataSeries Plot9
{
get { return Values[9]; }
}

But, it does not work. the scale will go to +1/-1 if the oscillator's values are between +1 and -1. However I want the scale to be +3 amd -3 even if the values are between +1 and -1

Any thoughts as to where I am going wrong?

Hi velocity, unfortunately changing the scale is not supported at this time - have you tried working with Min and Max as in this tutorial?http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...ionLogic3.html

[velocity]

that is what i thought too. However, if I place a constant value as an idicator and make it transparent, I was trying to fake NT out so the scale would adjust.

Any thoughts?

velocity,

Not supported at this point in time. If you want to "fake" it out, don't use a transparent color.

OK. I changed everything to the following and now I do not get any plots, what's wrong here?

Add(new Plot(Color.Black, PlotStyle.Line, "Plot8")); // Plot 8
Add(new Plot(Color.Black, PlotStyle.Line, "Plot9")); // Plot 9
Plot8.Set(3); // Make Oscillator Scale constant at 3 on average
Plot9.Set(-3); // Make Oscillator Scale constant at -3 on average
Plots[8].Max = 3;
Plots[9].Min =-3;

Don't set your plots inside Initialize(). Do it inside OnBarUpdate().

[velocity]

that did it, thank you

Hi,

A similar question from me:

In my strategy Initialize() section, I have included

Add(Stochastics(7,14,3))

in the code.

When running the strategy, the stochastics panel appears as desired; however, it has the "standard" channel lines at 20 and 80. How do I change those values to 30 and 70, for example? Something like

Add(Stochastics(7,14,3),UpLine = 70,DownLine = 30) would be great...

Thanks for helping!

Unfortunately this is not possible without custom coding, as you can only Add() full indicators, not specific plots of indicators.
