Draw 2nd Data Series on Panel 2

[JBU1314]

Hi All,
I am trying to get the second data series onto Panel 2 but have difficulties to implement it.
Attached a picture to clarify. Any advice what I missed?
I basically only want the 50 Period of the SPY on the chart on the second panel which currently shows as AAPL. Here my code.

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddDataSeries("SPY", Data.BarsPeriodType.Day, 1, Data.MarketDataType.Last);

_smaSPY = SMA(Closes[1], 50);
_smaSPY.Plots[0].Width = 2;
_smaSPY.Plots[0].Brush =Brushes.Purple;
_smaSPY.Panel = 3;
base.AddChartIndicator(_smaSPY);

Hello JBU1314, and thank you for your question. You will need to set your indicator or strategy's DrawOnPricePanel setting to true during State.SetDefaults. Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.

Hi Jessica,
I did that but I still dont have SPY displayed on Panel 2 jsut the apple as shown in the screen shot attached.

[NinjaTrader_JessicaP]

I misunderstood your intent. In order to do this we have to make a copy of the SMA indicator and override its PanelUI member. I have provided an example.

This is great information. Thank you very much!

[JBU1314]

The problem is only that The SMAPanel2 is still showing the primary series (in this example APPL) instead of the SPY which is he secondary Dataseries. So I still do have the same problem. What did i miss?

If you would like your strategy to trade on your secondary data series, you can pass in your SPY series to your strategy as shown in the attached image.

Otherwise, if you would like your strategy to monitor AAPL and your SMA to monitor SPY you will need to modify the code I sent you so that it incorporates your second data series into your SMA indicator, e.g.

[FONT=Courier New] _smaSPY = SMAPanel2([B]BarsArray[1], [/B]Closes[1], 50);[/FONT]

If neither of these was quite what you were looking for or there is any other way we can help please let us know.

[JBU1314]

Thank you very much Jessica. This is what I was looking for. I will try to be more specific next time!
Have a great day!

Jessica, only problem now is that the method in your provided code does only allow for 2 arguments and not 3 as you provided.
_smaSPY = SMAPanel2(BarsArray[1], Closes[1], 50);
if i adjust to
_smaSPY = SMAPanel2(BarsArray[1], 50);
I still only have AAPL presented in the SMA Panel.

[JBU1314]

Maybe it helps to outline that part of my code again:
2 DataSeries APPL & SPY - I want to go long if
Close of APPL is above x-Period SMA of APPL
AND
SMA of SPY is rising (Close[0] > Close[1])
AND
I also want to see the SMA of SPY on my chart

[NinjaTrader_JessicaP]

I did have a typo present. If you use BarsArray[1] in your SMA, your SMA will be processing over the SPY even if the label shows your primary instrument (AAPL). You can test this by adding another SMA(BarsArray[0]), or adding an SMA indicator on either instrument outside your strategy.

[JBU1314]

how can we change the label?

[NinjaTrader_JessicaP]

You can add this to the SMAPanel2 indicator's Properties section

[FONT=Courier New]
        public string UsedInstrument
        { get; set; }

        public override string DisplayName
        {
            get { return "SMA(" + UsedInstrument + ", " + Period + ")"; }
        }[/FONT]

You will then want to make sure you set this indicator's UsedInstrument manually.
