Chart to scroll like Pivot Point Indicator

[ij001]

Hi there,

I wanted to un-clutter my charts and have my moving averages display more cleanly like Pivots.cs. That is, Pivots.cs seems to only display the indicator in front of your eyes once you come close to it.

I looked through the code in Pivots.cs and can't seem to find where it would be. I recall reading on the forum somewhere that an admin member said Pivots would display in front of your eyes.

Also, I've used Z-Order and turned AutoScale = false, both not what I ideally want.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

The reason that you are able to always see the pivots indicator is that it is utilizing the Plot Override. It is essentially drawing over the chart rather than using the Add(new plot method

You can find the drawing for the Pivots under its Misc section in the code.

Unfortunately the Plot override is not a supported subject, we do have a few examples of its use though. One being the Pivots indicator and another being the CustomPlotSample indicator.

The reason that this is "In front of your eyes" is that it is drawing over the entire chart. The Z-Order of the chart does not apply to the Plot override as it has its own ordering which is first drawn is the lowest level.

Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.
