Indicator panel in strategy script

[akvevo]

Hi NT,

I am plotting an indicator via a strategy - how do I tell it which 'panel' to plot on ?
I am using the following in State.DataLoaded

				ATRplot = ATR(200);
				ATRplot.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Green;
				ATRplot.Plots[0].Width = 2;
				AddChartIndicator(ATRplot);
								
				ROCplot = ROC(5);
				ROCplot.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Blue;
				ROCplot.Plots[0].Width = 2;
				AddChartIndicator(ROCplot);
				
				BollROCplot = Bollinger(ROC(5),1.5,200);
				BollROCplot.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Gold;
				BollROCplot.Plots[0].Width = 2;
				AddChartIndicator(BollROCplot);

The ATR plots just fine in its own panel.
The ROC plots just fine in its own panel.
The Bollinger plots in the price pane (which is not fine for me but is expected behaviour I guess).

How do I plot Bollinger Bands around ROC (Bollinger(ROC(5),1.5,200) on the same panel from a strategy Script ?

Thanks

Hello akvevo,

You could use the following,

ROCplot.Panel=2;
BollROCplot.Panel=2;

Hi,

One follow up question here if I may,
Id like to colour my bollinger bands (upper, lower, average) in a Gold for instance.
The code below plots my bollinger bands on in its own panel, but the BollROCplot.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Gold; line only colours the Upper bollinger band.
My variable is Bollinger, and I havent asked it to colour the upper bank only.
How can I colour all 3 bands in the same colour please?

private Bollinger BollROCplot;
...
BollROCplot = Bollinger(ROC(5),1,60);
BollROCplot.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Gold;
BollROCplot.Plots[0].Width = 2;
BollROCplot.Panel=2;
AddChartIndicator(BollROCplot);

Thanks you

Hello akvevo,

To set the color of each plot you could use the following,

Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Gold;
Plots[1].Brush = Brushes.Gold;
Plots[2].Brush = Brushes.Gold;

With your example you could try,

BollROCplot.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Gold;
BollROCplot.Plots[1].Brush = Brushes.Gold;
BollROCplot.Plots[2].Brush = Brushes.Gold;

See the plots section of the helpguide,

Hello,

I have the same problem with Bollinger bands (calculated with SRSI indicator but displayed in the upper part of the chart, with quotes). Following (?) your advise, i've tried to insert xxx.panel=2 but it does not work.

AddChartIndicator(amaSuperTrendU112);
amaSRSI1 = amaSRSI(Close, Convert.ToInt32(SRSI_EMA_dur), Convert.ToInt32(SRSI_RSI_dur), 10);
amaSRSI2 = amaSRSI(Close, Convert.ToInt32(SRSI_EMA_dur), Convert.ToInt32(SRSI_RSI_dur), 10);
amaSRSI2.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Blue;
amaSRSI2.Plots[1].Brush = Brushes.Red;
amaSRSI2.Panel=2;
AddChartIndicator(amaSRSI2);
Bollinger1 = Bollinger(amaSRSI2.SlowRSI, BB_STD_nbre, Convert.ToInt32(BB_MM_dur));
Bollinger1.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.LimeGreen;
Bollinger1.Plots[1].Brush = Brushes.Transparent;
Bollinger1.Plots[2].Brush = Brushes.LimeGreen;
Bollinger1.Panel=2;
AddChartIndicator(Bollinger1);

Thanks for help.

Hello Alf63,

Could you please provide more information on what is not working? What are you seeing vs what are you expecting?

I have attached a strategy which adds two SMA's, in 2 different panels as a sample.,

I look forward to your reply.

Hello Alan,

Thanks for answer.

I have a chart with 2 panels. In the fisrt panel, quotes are displayed. In the second panel, below, i have a slow RSI. I calculate Bollinger bands using slow RSI as input serie so i want Bollinger bands to be in the second panel, with slow RSI. I see Bollinger bands in panel 1, with quotes.

I've tried your example/strategy but it does not work, i cannot manage to display Bollinger bands in panel 2 (with slow RSI).

Hello Alf63,

I am able to plot Bollinger Bands over an RSI, see screen shot.

If you'd like to upload sample code I can take a look and see if anything jumps out. Please use the following format.

To export a NinjaScript from NinjaTrader 8 do the following:
From the Control Center window select Tools -> Export -> NinjaScript...
Click Add>Select the indicator>OK>Export.
Then attach that file you saved; under My Docs>NT8>Bin>Custom>Select the downloaded .zip file.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Hello Alan,

I've erased the strategy (i made so many mistakes...). As soon as i can, i'll build it again and i'll try to follow exactly the code in your screenshot for panels.

Thanks.
