scale in the left side of the graph

[sasil]

Hi,

I have an indicator where I need to plot three lines. Two lines at the same price panel, and the scale of a line should be in the left side of the graph, and the second line on the right of the graph. The third line should be in another panel, in the Panel 1.

How can I put a scale to the left of the graph and how can I insert the third line in Panel 1?

Thank You

Hello sasil,

Thank you for writing in.

Unfortunately, an indicator cannot plot in more than one panel. If you wish to plot into an additional panel, you will need to create another indicator just for that extra panel.

To change the position of the scale, right-click on your chart and select Indicators.

Select the indicator you wish to modify and change the "Scale justification" to Left.

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Thank You for your prompt response.

Ok, It is not possible to plot in more than one panel, but is there any way I could indicate that the scale line should be on the left side? Can I write that in the code of the indicator?

Hello sasil,

To change the position of the scale, right-click on your chart and select Indicators.

Select the indicator you wish to modify and change the "Scale justification" to Left.

You can modify the ScaleJustification property in Initialize() to do this programmatically: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tification.htm

Hi,
I tried it, but is not working. Now, in my indicator, I have five lines. I want to put the scale of the three lines on the right side of the graph, and the scale of two lines on the left side of the graph.

I am using :

protected override void Initialize()
{
ScaleJustification = ScaleJustification.Right;
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkOrange),2) , PlotStyle.Line, "Line1"));
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Black),2), PlotStyle.Line, "Line2"));
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Purple),2), PlotStyle.Line, "Line3"));
ScaleJustification = ScaleJustification.Left;
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Green),2), PlotStyle.Line, "DIF1"));
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Red),2), PlotStyle.Line, "DIF2"));
Overlay = true;
CalculateOnBarClose = false;
}

The scale of Line1, Line2 and Line3 on the right side, and DIF1 and DIF2 on left side of the graph.

What is wrong? How can I do this?

Thank you

Hello sasil,

You cannot have two different scale justifications for different plots on your indicator. They must all follow the same scale justification.

If you wish to have different scale justifications, you will need to have multiple indicators, each with the specific scale justification you want. So, for example, one indicator for the three plots and another for the two plots.

OK, Thank you...

I can call a window inside another window, just to plot on another scale or another panel? Or, call a strategy inside an indicator, where this strategy would only have to plot two or three indicators?

Hello sasil,

You can have multiple indicators plot into the same panel if desired.

I'm not sure what you mean by calling a strategy from an indicator; strategies can call an indicator to plot on the chart, but an indicator can't call a strategy.

Thanks for your response

That was what I wanted, an indicator calling a strategy. That's not possible.
