Panels

[eleos]

Hello,

I want to draw in other Panels.

I know that i have to set; IsOverlay=false; and
DrawOnPricePanel = false; to get a new Panel.
With this i can generate for every data series a new Panel.

How can i now set Draw.RegionHighlightX(this,"Background "+h,BarsSinceEntryExecution(),0,Brushes.Red,Brushe s.Red,25); to Panel 4?

Hello eleos,

Thanks for your post.

Can you provide further examples of your code that shows how you are "generate for every data series a new Panel."

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
            {
                KChannel        = KeltnerChannel(OffsetMultiplier,Period);
                rsi                    = RSI(Period,RSISmooth);
                vol                   = VOL();
                dmi                  = DMI(Period);
         
            }
            else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
            
                AddChartIndicator(KeltnerChannel(OffsetMultiplier,Period));
                AddChartIndicator(VOL());
                AddChartIndicator(RSI(Period,RSISmooth));
                AddChartIndicator(DMI(Period));
                
                IsOverlay                                     = true;       
                DrawOnPricePanel                            = true;
                ChartIndicators[0].Panel =0;
                IsOverlay                                     = false;
                DrawOnPricePanel                            = false; 
                ChartIndicators[1].Panel =1;
                IsOverlay                                     = false;
                DrawOnPricePanel                            = false; 
                ChartIndicators[2].Panel =2;
                IsOverlay                                     = false;
                DrawOnPricePanel                            = false;
                ChartIndicators[3].Panel =3;
          }
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if (BarsInProgress != 0) return;
            if (CurrentBar < BarsRequiredToTrade) return;



                    DrawOnPricePanel = true;
                    if(case< 0){h++;
0){Draw.RegionHighlightX(this,"Background"+h,BarsSinceEntryExecution(),0,Brushes.Red,Brushes.Red,25);
                  
                    t++;
                    Draw.Text(this,"txt"+t+".2","Open: "+Open[0]+" $ (Short)",0,High[0]+((High[0]/100)*1));
                    
                    b++;
                    Draw.VerticalLine(this,"Exit" +b+"."+counter, 0, Brushes.Black, DashStyleHelper.Dash, 2, false);
}

Data series may be the wrong word.
So i load a few Indicators in a Strategie and gave them own Panels.
Now i want to draw in each Panel and not only draw in one/all Panel/s.

Hello eleos,

Thanks for your reply and clarifications.

There are no means to draw objects in more than one panel from the strategy (or from an indicator). A strategy does allow you to add indicators and specify their panels but the strategy can only draw in its own added panel created with isOverLay = false; I've attached an example of this.

I will submit a feature request to allow a strategy or indicator to be able to apply draw objects to any specified panel. I will update this thread when i have further information.

Thank you for your fast help.


Is there an alternative way ?


Is it possible to let a Strategie call a Strategie (which is nearly a function/method and only draw on his Panel) and called this "Strategie" with parameters?
Maybe synchronised .
That all Panels have a own Strategie which draw and get the drawing orders from the main Strategie...
Or something like that...?

Hello eleos,

Thanks for your reply.

Strategies are not aware of other strategies and cannot call other strategies.

I am not aware of another way to accomplish your goal.

Hello eleos,

I am happy to advise that when submitting the feature request I was advised that it is possible to accomplish your goal. I have attached an example that demonstrates drawing dots on all panels and drawing a region on a MACD in panel 3.

The clue I was missing was replacing "this" with the name of the indicator, for example:

In state.Dataloaded:

MACD2 = MACD(13, 26, 9);
AddChartIndicator(MACD2);
MACD2.DrawOnPricePanel = false;
MACD2.IsOverlay = false;

Then in OnBarUpDate():

Draw.Region(MACD2,"test", CurrentBar -1, 0, MACD2.Default, MACD2.Avg, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Pink, 30);

This example is in the attached working strategy.
