Adding Constant Line Indicator to Another Indicator

September 19th, 2011, 12:52 AM

Hello,

I was trying to Add the Constant Line Indicator into a RSI Indicator.

I did not want to use the Add(new Line... due to the lack of features.

I am currently using the Constant Line Indicator and plotting it on the same panel as the RSI but would to incorporate the two.

Any Ideas?

Thank You!

You need to blend the code of the ConstantLines indicator into the RSI indicator. Copy and paste, then change some of the indices.

ok, i'm moving forward with this but had a question on price markers and if it was possible to show some and hide others within the indicator.

The attached pic may be easier to understand. Thank You!

Also I will attach the indicator!

can someone please look at the attached notepad file and tell me why I can't seem to incorporate the CMO indicator into this RSI indicator?

any help would be much appreciated

I get confused with what DataSeries actually do and how they are linked with the properties area of the indicator too.

It is possible to code, but rather complex.

You would need to override FormatPriceMarker() and then use different rules for different plots.

As an alternative you can detect last bar and color it selectively with Color.Transparent on the last bar only.
Then draw lines to fill the gap.

Hi ceramictilepro,

I see you have already made progress here.

There is a simple way to get code that feeds one indicator from the output of another indicator.

Open Strategy Analyser and select new strategy.

Construct a condition in new strategy where you select the target indicator on one side of the equation.

Select its input field and select the source indicator from the drop down list.

Now select == and add anything to complete the right side of the equation.

Compile, then select "View Code".

The correct code to feed the source indicator to the target indicator will be there.

Copy/paste what you need.

Repeat for each indicator you need data from.

Thanks Rjay,

I tried to add an indicator via the strategy and got 2 errors. The only place where I saw code was under Initialize.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

I think I did it!

Can anyone (Fat Tails...lol) check this for me please

My goal was to incorporate the following into a single indicator:

Constant Lines
CMO
RSI (modified by Fat Tails)

Question: is the order of the plots important in the Initialize section? Seems that I just needed to put the:

Add(new Plot(Color.Blue, "CMO Line"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Black, "aRSIv4test"));

in this order for each line to plot on the chart.
