FormatPriceMarker question

[mlarocco]

I have an indicator that has multiple plots on a sub panel. The plots are from different instruments and I would like the price markers to reflect which line is which instrument. I am using this code for the signal plot

public override string FormatPriceMarker(double price)
{
return price.ToString(instrument1);
}

But I don't know how to change the markers for multiple plots

The attached screen shot shows the two plots from two different instruments, but has the ES on both.

Thanks

Hello mlarocco,

Thank you for your note.

Would you please provide a copy or simplified version of the indicator so I may take a look on our end?

I look forward to your reply.

See below...

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.Transparent, PlotStyle.Line, "MACDBB1"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Transparent, PlotStyle.Line, "MACDBB1"));
Add(new Plot(Color.DarkGray, PlotStyle.Line, "Inst_Line_1"));
Add(new Plot(Color.DarkGray, PlotStyle.Line, "Inst_Line_2"));
Plots[2].Pen.Width = 10;
Plots[3].Pen.Width = 10;
//Plots[0].Pen.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash;


Overlay = false;
PriceTypeSupported = true;
CalculateOnBarClose = false;

Add(instrument1, PeriodType.Custom9, barValue1);
Add(instrument2, PeriodType.Custom9, barValue2);
}

public override string FormatPriceMarker(double price)
{
return price.ToString(instrument1);
}

//public override string FormatPriceMarker(double price)
//{
//return price.ToString(instrument2);
//}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar < 1)
return;


Inst_Line_1.Set(1);
Inst_Line_2.Set(1.5);
Values[0].Set(HPT_MACDBB(BarsArray[1],20, 12, 1, 45, 5).MACDPlot[0]);
Values[1].Set(HPT_MACDBB(BarsArray[2],20, 12, 1, 45, 5).MACDPlot[0]);
//Value.Set(HPT_MACDBB(20, 12, 1, 45, 5).MACDPlot[0]);


//Instrument 1
if(Values[0][0] > 1)
{
if(slopeColor)
PlotColors[2][0] = upColor;
}
if(Values[0][0] < -1)
{
if(slopeColor)
PlotColors[2][0] = dnColor;
}

//Instrument 2
if(Values[1][0] > 1)
{
if(slopeColor)
PlotColors[3][0] = upColor;
}
if(Values[1][0] < -1)
{
if(slopeColor)
PlotColors[3][0] = dnColor;
}

Hello mlarocco,

I have attached a sample indicator which will display the contract associated with the plot on the axis. I use an if statement to check if the price is above 3,000, and the two additional series are the ES and NQ.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

This does work but the only problem

I see is, if the instruments are changed then the 3000 or whatever number is used may not be valid then.
