How to have the oscillator working but not have it print on its panel

[kaywai]

Hi,

I have an oscillator which I would like to combine its reading with price patterns but I don't require it to print on its own panel. How would I go about achieving that? I tried under Properties -> Visible. When I deselect "Visible", the arrows I have drawn on the price panel disappear.

Hello Kay,

You can set IsOverlay to false and this will add the indicator to the input series panel.

HI Chelsea,

I had already defaulted IsOverlay to false and DrawOnPricePanel also to false.

Hello Kay,

Was this in State.SetDefaults or State.Configure?

Have you removed and re-added an instance of the script?

Hi ChelseaB,

It's in State.SetDefaults.

Not sure what you mean by removed and re-added an instance of the script.
I've attached the script to help.

Hello Kay,

Open the Strategies window. Select the strategy from the Configured area. Click remove to remove the added instance.

Find and select the strategy in the Available area, click add to add a new instance.

The defaults are only pulled when a new instance of the script is added.

With IsOverlay set to false in the indicator. The indicator added to the chart with AddChartIndicator() will be added to the same panel as the strategy.

Hi ChelseaB,

I have no strategies coded at this point in time. So, I'm pretty lost with what you are saying above.
Here is an image of the chart with the TDREI oscillator.

What I'm trying to achieve is for the yellow arrow to remain in the price chart section but for the TDREI oscillator to run in the background and not occupy any real estate.

Hello kaywai,

This is posted in the Indicator Development section of the forums. Is this an indicator you are developing (programming)?

Or are you looking for platform technical support?

You can set the indicator to the same panel as the input series in the Indicators window, and for the plots set the color to Transparent for each plot.

However, if the code of the indicator is changing the plot colors, this would have to be changed in the code of the script.

Hi ChelseaB,

I'm in the midst of developing an indicator.

Hello Kay,

A new instance of the indicator is being added directly to the chart and is in the same panel as the input series?

In the code of the script you can choose to not add plots, or you can set the plot color to transparent so this does not render.

Is this what you are trying to achieve?
