How to Add Plots in SampleMultiTimeFrame Strategy

[JohnS52]

Hello - I have taken the SampleMultiTimeFrame Strategy from the Educational Section and used AddPlot to get plots to show on a chart. This works in the Strategy Analyzer but not in Market Replay or IRT. Is there a way to get them to show in Market Replay and IRT?

2nd question: Is it possible to get the plots to show in Panels 2 and 3? This would be particularly helpful with a StochasticsMTF Strategy.

3rd question: Is it possible to get the added Data Series to also show in Panels 2 and 3?

My Print statements to the Output window vs the Data Box show the values are correct.


Thank you for any help.

Hello JohnS52,

Thank you for your post.

In my testing with your provided script I am able to see the plots on the chart on real time data and market replay.

Just as in an indicator, plots from a strategy may only be plotted on a single panel. However, if you do need to plot some plots in the main panel and some in a separate panel, we have a help guide example that shows you how that may be achieved:

It would not be possible to plot the secondary data series from the Strategy; you would just need to add the additional series to the chart window through the Data Series menu.

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

Thank you, Kate. Yes, I see them now. I was trying to add them to a chart with 3 data series and they didn't appear but they will add to a 1 data series chart.

This SampleStrategy Overlay code is a little over my skill level. I am getting 4 errors in the Editor: two CS0029 and two CS0103. Any suggestions on how to correct them? I don't know how to declare the variables: neither double or int worked.

Hello JohnS52,

Thank you for your reply.

Could you provide your current code for this? I can't really tell what's going on from just the errors provided.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

The code won't compile with the added code so I am attaching a Text file. I removed the AddPlot/Values code (that was plotting yesterday) for clarity.

Hello JohnS52,

Thank you for your reply.

I've created a strategy which combines the Multi Time Frame and Sample Strategy Plot Strategies that does compile. I've attached that below.

The errors you were getting are from two things:

First, the indicators included are still referencing the old SampleStrategyPlot strategy:

        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore()]
        public NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies.SampleStrategyPlot Strategy
        {
            get;set;    
        }

That reference would need to be changed to the strategy you're creating.

Secondly, you're not instantiating the variables for the series that we're storing values in in the parameters section:

        #region Parameters
        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore()]
        public Series<double> OverlayPlot;

        [Browsable(false)]
        [XmlIgnore()]
        public Series<double> PanelPlot;     
        #endregion

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