    Drawing on MACD indicator panel from strategry

    I have been trying various things and searching the forums etc for a method to draw lines etc on a MACD indicator panel from a strategy.

    I see references to setting DrawOnPricePanel to false but this doesn't seem to be recognised in a strategy, only in a custom indicator. I can draw on the main price panel ok, but just don't know how to draw lines etc on a inbuilt indicator displayed by my strategy.

    My code is something like;


    Code:
        public class myStrategy : Strategy
        {
            private IndicatorBase seriesMACD;
            protected override void Initialize()
            {
                seriesMACD = MACD(macdFastPeriod,macdSlowPeriod,macdSmoothing);
                Add(seriesMACD);
                
                CalculateOnBarClose = true;
            }
    
            protected override void OnBarUpdate()
            {
    // how to make this (or any other Draw method) appear over the MACD panel instead of price panel?
                DrawArrowDown(CurrentBar.ToString(), 0, 0, Color.Yellow);
            }
        }
    Any clues anyone?

    Hello Robonut,

    Thank you for your post.

    Unfortunately, there is not a method to draw in a 2nd panel when using a strategy.

    You will need to develop and indicator which draws on this panel by setting the initialize method to DrawOnPricePanel = false.

    Please let me know if you have additional questions.
