Plotstyle, new member “InstrumentBar” ?

[AndBro]

Hello anyone!

I’m looking for a modified Plotstyle.Bar! I want to set a min-value on a bar as well, making the bar similar to a candlestick.
I have a simple solution that works (but I’m not happy with the solution). See attachment. It is two bars, where one bar covers the other. The covering one has the same color as the background.
If anyone can guide me for a solution, or show some code, of how to do this in a better way I will be thankful.

- ideas?
- code?
- something else?

To NT-team: It would be very nice to extend Plotstyle with a new member “InstrumentBar”. The basic implementation could look like a candlestick, with attributes ohlc. A lot of valuable information can then elegant be added to an instrument graph in a chart.

Thanks, AndBro

Hello Jessica
That sounds good to me. Thank you.
Meanwhile I have made a work-around that actually works very well. The basic idea is to make a subclass of Series, in my case PlotOHLC : Series<OHLC>. In addition, PlotOHLC has a method Render that is called at the override OnRender of the indicator. However, I still have to use some dummy-Addplots, and other “stupid” coding to have it work! But, it is just a prototype.

See OHLC.cs for an overview of how to use it. Text only.

If anyone is interested in the code, I can upload it to this thread.

Have a nice day /Andbro
