The only workaround that comes to my mind goes as follows
-> create a new indicator with a single plot
-> store any of four double values (for example 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0)
-> set the new indicator to Overlay = true, AutoScale = false
As the indicator is applied to the price panel, the values 1.0 to 4.0 may not show up on the visible part of the chart. This approach would work for ES, YM or any instrument with a minimum price well above 4.0
For FOREX or any instrument with smaller values, you would need to use indicator values of 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04 which would represent your four integers.
Plot the 4 integer values as Line Plots in a second panel. Since I don't want the plots on my chart, or even to see them I'll just scrunch the second panel down.
I suppose since they are plots they should show up in the Data Box.
--------
Another option is to not plot the values at all, but store them in a IntSeries, and have a small docked window display the values on some mouse event....but then this is just another conversion task when Ninja 8 comes out.
the 4 integer values are the slopes of 4 moving averages
I have the code to calculate the slope and it is working well
however having these values plot on panel 1 makes no sense at all and would mess up the chart because the slopes have nothing to do with price (Y axis)
what I want to do is know the slope at different points (bars) by having them in the Data Box
I don't want to see the slopes all the time, just for research and studies....
the issue is that only visible plots show in the databox
I could make it a DataSeries Plot, that is a double....
but I don't want to see it on the chart, that is the problem
-----------------
well, unless there is a way to hide the plot and still have it in the data box, I'll go to one of the solutions I mentioned, if no one else has a better idea
So just make the plots transparent. I just tested that with an EMA plotted on a chart. I turned it transparent and I could still see the values in the databox.
