Adding Indicators

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

When you add indicators to a strategy to display is there anyway you can modify the indicators options like color and width?

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Please check out the Initialize method of the SampleMACrossOver strategy.

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

ahh. Thanks. Is there a list to all the parameters available somewhere?

Pen class is standard .NET. Please see e.g. here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...rs(VS.71).aspx

What I'm having problems with is trying to change the color of the upper and lower channels for my Regression Channel indicator.

RegressionChannel(60, 2).Lower.Pen.Color = Color.Purple;

It doesn't like the Pen after Lower

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Please take again a look at the sample I provided. "Lower" is of type "DataSeries" and not of type "Plot".

You need to go
RegressionChannel(60, 2).Plots[2].Pen.Color = Color.Purple

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Oh snap. Thanks. Sorry I'm just using trial and error to figure out the syntax at the moment.

How do you set which Panel the indicator will show up on? I'm trying to get my volume to show up in panel 1.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Please check out the Panel properties on the chart indicator dialog box.

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Sorry I meant to ask how to do it when I am calling the indicator from a strategy with Add().

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Hmm, have not yet tried if this works. You could try something like

SMA(Fast).Panel=2;

(see SampleMACrossOver strategy on how to set properties on indicators which are added by a strategy).

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

It seems to kind of work.

.Panel=1 makes the indicator go to panel 2
.Panel=2 makes the indicator go to panel 3
but .Panel=0 doesn't make the indicator go to panel 1, instead it seems to just drop the indicator at a default panel.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Right.
Panel is the internal 0-based representation.
PanelUI is the 1-based UI representation (like in the indicator dialog).
