Create a New Panel

[CriticalTrader]

Is there a way to create an additional panel for an indicator to which I can add a custom plot?

Hello CriticalTrader,

Thank you for your post.

Are you asking if you can have 2 indicators panels in additional to the price panel and the existing indicator panel you are using?

[CriticalTrader]

hmm...i guess i'm trying to ask if there is a way to plot on both the price panel as well as on a separate panel below the price panel with the same (single instance of a custom) indicator?

Hello CriticalTrader,

Unfortunately, this would not be possible currently. Any properties for drawing on panels cannot be separated. You would need to create another indicator for the 2nd panel.

[CriticalTrader]

Yes, unfortunate. Please submit as enhancement request. Could likely improve performance processing only a single stream of market data.

Is there a way I can check on this periodically? I'd like to know if and when this feature may be implemented.

Hi CriticalTrader,

There is no update at this time. There is unlikely to be a change in near future here but we are still gathering all feedback for the next major release. Thanks for posting.

you can plot on both the inidicator panel and the price panel with the follwing technique which I found inside the d3spotter indicator, available in the forum,

in Initialize you have to set

DrawOnPricePanel = true;

in order to plot on the indicator panel change this property back to false.

sample code fragment from my own code:

DrawOnPricePanel = false;
DrawDot("dot" + CurrentBar.ToString(), false, 0, rsi, Color.Green);
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
DrawArrowUp(CurrentBar.ToString() + "up", true, 0, Low[0]-2*TickSize, Color.Green);
