I can't get this line to plot. What am I missing?

[kaywai]

I can get values but I can't plot this line. Code is below:-

protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.Magenta, PlotStyle.Line, "PlotA"));
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
Overlay = true;
PriceTypeSupported = false;
myDataSeries = new DataSeries(this);
}
///<summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
///</summary>
protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar < 3) return;
 
myDataSeries.Set(Math.Min(Low[1],Close[2]));
Print("true low is" + myDataSeries.ToString());
 
 
}

Kay, you never plot this series - does it give you any prints?

Try for example - PlotA.Set(Math.Min(Low[1],Close[2]));

or

Value.Set(Math.Min(Low[1],Close[2]));

Hi Bertrand,

I get an error message "The name 'PlotA' does not exist in the current context but when i use Value.Set it works!

Why is that the case?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Great, then please check how you named your public DataSeries to be associated with your Plot in the Properties section of the code and adjust my snippet then as needed.

sorry betrand. what am i suppose to put in the properties section?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

You would need to expand the properties section of your code and see how the public DataSeries associated with your Plot is named, as then reflect this properly in your snippet code. As an example check into our BollingerBands indicator and see how Upper, Lower and Middle work codewise.

issue resolved. thx for the pointers bertrand!
