hello

Is it possible to have an indicator drawing （like DrawDiamond() ） in his own panel and also drawing in the price panel?

thanks in advance

The control variable is DrawOnPricePanel (boolean true or false)

Usually just set in Initialize but I seem to think it can be flipped in OnBarUpdate as well, but don't quote me..

Thanks a lot, it works. But it seem necessary to set DrawOnPricePanel at the beginning and the end. If not, it doesn't change. For example,

DrawOnPricePanel = false;
DrawDiamond("tag1"', true, 0,1, Color.Green);
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
DrawDiamond("tag2", true, 0, 2, Color.Yellow);
DrawOnPricePanel = false;
DrawDiamond("tag3", true, 0, 2, Color.Red);
DrawOnPricePanel = true;

Thanks for your help again.

Yes, just made some different tests here, it doesn't seem like a stable offering, the objects can flip back so can't be used on a per bar basis unless you are happy to be redrawing when needed.

In these sort of situations it's often easier just to have two copies of the same indicator - one set for each panel.
