RSI hide average line

[ch9090]

Dear all,

I've looked a little bit in the forum but could not found the easy answer to my question:

My custom strategy plot the RSI on a panel and I would like to hide the average line (to keep only the RSI one). I've changed the default color to transparent but each time I select another stock the average line reappars.

Is it possible to hide it permanently? Is it something I can put in my custom strategy code which for the moment is?

RSI(Vperiodin, 3).Panel = 1;
RSI(Vperiodin, 3).Lines[0].Value = Vleveldown;
RSI(Vperiodin, 3).Lines[1].Value = Vlevelup;
Add(RSI(Vperiodin, 3));

Many thanks for the help,
chris

Hello Chris,

Thank you for your post.

To hide the average or smoothing line you will need to define the color for the average as Transparent.

RSI(Vperiodin, 3).Panel = 1;
RSI(Vperiodin, 3).Lines[0].Value = Vleveldown; 
RSI(Vperiodin, 3).Lines[1].Value = Vlevelup;
[B]RSI(Vperiodin, 3).Plots[1].Pen.Color = Color.Transparent[/B]
Add(RSI(Vperiodin, 3));

Fantastic Cameron! I guess Plots[1] is the average line and Plots[0] the RSI?

Now I would like to add a second RSI on the same panel but with a different period. Would this work?

RSI(Vperiodin, 3).Panel = 1;
RSI(Vperiodin, 3).Lines[0].Value = Vleveldown;
RSI(Vperiodin, 3).Lines[1].Value = Vlevelup;
RSI(Vperiodin, 3).Plots[1].Pen.Color = Color.Transparent;
Add(RSI(Vperiodin, 3));
RSI(Vperiodout, 3).Panel = 1;
RSI(Vperiodout, 3).Plots[1].Pen.Color = Color.Transparent;
Add(RSI(Vperiodout, 3));

Or is there something cleaner?

Many thanks for the quick and efficient solution

Chris,

Correct, for the RSI, Plots[1] is the Average while Plots[0] is the RSI.

For adding a second RSI to the same panel, the code you provided is correct.

I can't believe I am right :-) TY

Hi Cameron,

I've added the following MA lines to my custom strategy and it is being plotted well in the overlay.

EMA(Vma1).Overlay = true;
EMA(Vma1).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.DarkOrange;
Add(EMA(Vma1));
EMA(Vma2).Overlay = true;
EMA(Vma1).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.DarkBlue;
Add(EMA(Vma2));
EMA(Vma3).Overlay = true;
EMA(Vma1).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.DarkViolet;
Add(EMA(Vma3));

However the colors are not respected (see screenshot attached); could it be an issue with default chart? or something else?

Cheers,
Chris

Chris,

It looks like you will need to set the proper input series for each EMA.

There are a two EMA's that are added under with a new input series but the colors is still being defined for the Vma1 input.

Please see the edit in bold below:

EMA(Vma1).Overlay = true;
EMA(Vma1).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.DarkOrange; 
Add(EMA(Vma1)); 
EMA(Vma2).Overlay = true; 
EMA([B]Vma2[/B]).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.DarkBlue; 
Add(EMA(Vma2)); EMA(Vma3).Overlay = true; 
EMA([B]Vma3[/B]).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.DarkViolet; 
Add(EMA(Vma3));

Sorry, stupid mistake from my end! Can't believe I missed it.
