Plotting a subchart in a strategy

(login for full post details)

Hi everyone,

Im trying to use the ATR in one of my strategies and here im taking the a 20day average of the ATR. I want to plot it, but not in the graph, in a subchart.

I can plot it in the graph via TL_new, but since the average of the ATR has a different numerical value as the graph itself, I need to plot this on a subchart.
So how do you plot your strategy components in a subchart?

I have this for now

Code

Value1 = TL_new(d[1],t[1],average(AvgTrueRange(ATRLength),ATRAvg)1],d,t,average(AvgTrueRange(ATRLength),ATRAvg));
		Tl_setcolor(value1,cyan);

Thanks!

JBroex,

you might not be able to apply drawings in a subchart directly from a strategy.

The easiest approach would be to use a separate indicator that handles the plotting/drawing in a subchart.

If you need values from within the strategy that could not be computed directly in the indicator, too, you could send them to an indicator for example using a Global Dictionary and handle the display within the indicator.
