I have an indicator that uses custom plots in the indicator panel, drawing within OnRender. It also writes text objects using draw.text to the chart window. It creates quite a few text drawing objects, so I would rather use onrender and plot them as needed, rather than draw.text. Problem is, Onrender cannot draw both in the indicator panel and the chart window? Splitting into 2 different indicators is not an option as it would be duplicating work / inefficient. Any elegant solution to this?

Onrender in 2 panels
Hello,

Hello pjsmith,
From my understanding, the drawOnPricePanel overload for drawing objects, temporarily changes the DrawOnPricePanel property for the indicator just before the object is rendered and then changed back.
You might try doing something like that, though I cannot guarantee the functionality.
In general, our suggested workaround is have one indicator (either instance or type) per panel that draws whats needed on that panel.Chelsea B.NinjaTrader Customer Service
