Strategy: Plotting from within a NinjaScript Strategy

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

When running a strategy on a chart you may find the need to plot values onto a chart. If these values are internal strategy calculations that are difficult to migrate to an indicator, you can use the following technique to achieve a plot. The technique involves the use of a custom indicator, StrategyPlot(), that is included in the import.

Note: This technique has limited functionality. It will NOT work for charts in the Strategy Analyzer during backtesting, but it will work on real-time charts.

This reference sample demonstrates the following concept:

• Set values to a blank indicator from a strategy
• Plot multi-time/instrument values

Important methods and properties used include:

• Add()
• Value.Set()

Other methods and properties of interest include:

• Pen.Width
• Pen.DashStyle
